Deadline: October 22, 2013

Applications for the Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme for Kenyans residents is now open. Scholarships are available to those who are committed to making a contribution to their own country’s development. The Scheme gives candidates a chance to receive a high standard of education from internationally recognised institutions, which can then be applied in the scholar’s home country. The scholarship scheme aims to build capacity in areas where Tullow’s host countries experience significant skills gaps, especially, but not exclusively, around these countries’ oil and gas industries.

The Scheme is managed by the British Council, which has a great deal of experience in running similar programmes. Further details on eligibility and the application process can be found around this website. The British Council is committed to a policy of equal opportunity and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community.
