A new scholarship programme, has been launched to help fund rural community development internships in Uganda. Students from around the world can apply, and 15 will be awarded with full or partial scholarships.

Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda have struck a deal that will mean students moving to study between the three countries will pay local tuition fees, as part of a move to harmonise education in the East African Community (EAC). Previously, incoming students have paid international fees priced in US dollars.
