Mirriam Silantoi – Beauty Therapy Student, NIBS Rongai Campus
“Getting the Skills Empowerment Scholarship changed everything for me.”
I had dropped out of school due to financial challenges and thought I would never get a second chance. When I came across the Youth Empowerment Scholarship on auscholarships.com, I applied with a short letter and a lot of hope.
Within a month, I was enrolled at NIBS Rongai Campus in the Beauty Therapy short course. The scholarship covered 100% of my tuition. Today, I have clients in Rongai town and dream of opening my own salon next year.
Thank you auscholarships.com. You helped me believe in myself again.

“The scholarship gave me a career path and dignity.”
I was out of work for over a year and struggling to find direction after high school. I applied for the ReSkill Jobseeker Grant after seeing it on auscholarships.com. The process was simple. I submitted my KCSE certificate, a short essay, and waited.
Two weeks later, I was selected! Today, I’m a certified electrician and already working on real projects in Nairobi estates. This scholarship didn’t just give me training. It gave me purpose.
To anyone wondering if it’s worth applying — DO IT!
Amina Yusuf – Public Health Undergraduate, Garissa University
“The University Support Grant helped me stay in school.”
My parents were struggling to pay my fees, and I was on the verge of deferring my semester. Through auscholarships.com, I found the University Support Grant, applied quickly, and submitted all documents.
When I received the confirmation email, I cried with joy. The support helped me clear part of my tuition, and the mentorship calls kept me motivated.

“This scholarship helped me focus on my studies instead of my struggles.”
I come from a single-parent household, and paying university fees was a constant battle. I discovered auscholarships.com while searching for help online and applied for a scholarship with my transcript and a short personal statement.
A few weeks later, I received the award, and it covered my tuition for my remaining five semesters. That support lifted a huge burden off my family. I was able to concentrate, improve my grades, and even volunteer at a local school.
I’ll forever be grateful, not just for the money, but for the hope it brought.
Fatuma Abdul. Bachelor of Business Management, Moi University
“I didn’t think someone like me could win a scholarship – until I did.”
I hesitated to apply, thinking I wasn’t ‘special’ enough. But auscholarships.com made the process clear and simple. I gathered my documents, wrote honestly about my journey, and applied for the University Support Grant.
When I received the acceptance email, I was in shock. That funding helped me register on time and even buy materials I had been postponing.
To anyone doubting themselves. Your story matters. Just apply.
Daniel Obonyo. Computer Science Student, University of Nairobi
“The scholarship didn’t just support my education, it connected me to a whole community.”
I was selected as one of the 15 recipients of a university support scholarship listed on auscholarships.com. The financial aid was timely but even more valuable was the mentorship I received.
I joined virtual sessions with other scholars, got help with study skills, and even received job search advice.
I now mentor first-years and share scholarship tips because I know how life-changing one opportunity can be.
