What our beneficiaries say
Eye opener
“I truly appreciate learning more about internal scholarships through the webinars. My eyes were opened to a new range of opportunities. In addition to this I am grateful for the practical support I got from IGSI, while working on my personal statement.”
Zindzi, A.
Fellowship application
“The webinars that I attended were extremely helpful in conditioning my mind for success beyond my lab career. I implemented the knowledge that I received therein and coupled with IGSI guidance, I bagged the IAVI fellowship. I strongly believe that IGSI initiative is a step in the right direction.”
Awuor S, Kenya
Most reliable platform for graduate scholarship opportunities
“Opportunities for students in developing countries to get international scholarships are available. However, finding them and coming up with a stellar application is always a challenge. IGSI posts authentic, fully funded scholarships and trains students on how to write excellent personal statements for their application. This is an amazing platform for many African students looking for scholarships. Kudos IGSI!!!”
