The MoTS (TEVET) Bursaries Committee invites applications from successful School Leavers in need of Bursary support for the 2023 academic year at all MoTS Training Institutions.

THE SCOPE OF THE SCHEME

The bursaries shall be disbursed in the following manner:

1. Science, Technical, Engineering and Mathematical (STEM) related programs, especially those identified in the National Development Plans, 60% of the bursaries and
2. Business and allied skills, 40% of the bursaries.

The MoTS recognized the lack of adequate resources to provide bursaries to cover all the training expenses. Therefore, the bursary award shall cover the following key areas:

1. Tuition fees to the institution (100%) paid directly to training providers;
2. Boarding fees particularly to rural institutions (to those that deserve boarding) paid directly to the training providers;
3. Examination fees at 100% shall be paid directly to the training provider.

Please note that the Award shall NOT cover all the students’ educational requirements and as such, the students will accordingly be expected to supplement from their own resources.
