We
are pleased to announce availability of 4 full and 4 partial scholarships for
well-motivated and competent Rwandan students who would like to pursue the 3-year Honors Bachelor’s degree in
Peace-Building and Development (See
the programme description attached). The selected
applicant will be requested to join the programme from the new academic year
that will start in mid-October, 2023.
The
recipient of a full scholarship will
be selected
based both on merit that is
assessed with application documents, a written test and an interview as well as
on financial need that is supported by compelling evidence. They will be exempted
from payment of annual registration
and tuition fees for 3 years as well as internships and dissertation fees. Living
costs in Huye must be covered by the student or his/her own sponsor rather than
PIASS. Estimated minimum on-campus living costs for one academic year are
approximately RWF 500,000 for a single student.
The
recipient of a partial scholarship will
