Call For Applications: PASET Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (Rsif) For Africans

The PASET Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (Rsif) presents a golden opportunity for African graduate students and researchers to develop institutional capacity for the benefit of the whole region.

The PASET Regional Scholarship offers fully funded study opportunity that covers tuition, research, travel and monthly allowance to cover living expenses such as accommodation and meals.

The Partnership for skills in Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology (PASET) is an African-led initiative that aims to close the skills gap in the applied sciences, engineering and technology (ASET) necessary for socio-economic transformation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

The Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (Rsif) is the flagship program of PASET. Rsif supports PhD students, post-doctoral scientists and universities in SSA to establish high-quality training, research and innovation environments and to develop institutional capacity for the benefit of the whole region.
