The programme, announced by the German Embassy in Nairobi on Tuesday, November 10, will benefit eligible students enrolled in 51 selected Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions across the country.
The scholarships will support learners pursuing Level 5 Certificate and Level 6 Diploma qualifications, with training focused on food and agriculture-related disciplines.
According to the German Embassy, the initiative is being financed by Germany through KfW, a German development bank, as part of a partnership aimed at expanding access to technical and vocational education among Kenyan youth.
The opportunity targets applicants aged between 18 and 35 years. However, meeting the age requirement alone does not guarantee consideration, as interested candidates must first secure admission to one of the participating TVET institutions.
The embassy also outlined groups that will receive special consideration during the selection process.
Vulnerable and marginalised communities, persons living with disabilities and women have been given priority under the programme, with the embassy encouraging eligible applicants from these groups to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Admission into a participating TVET institution is mandatory before scholarship consideration. Special consideration will be given to vulnerable and marginalised groups, persons with disabilities and women," the embassy stated.
The programme is expected to create opportunities for young people interested in developing practical skills in agriculture and food-related sectors through formal technical training.
Interested Kenyans can access the scholarship application form through the Ministry of Education website or the German Embassy's social media platforms.
Applicants are required to download the form, provide the requested personal and academic information and submit the completed document through the designated submission points indicated in the application instructions.
Alternatively, candidates can submit their applications online using the link provided on the Ministry of Education website.
The deadline for submitting applications is Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 4:30 pm.
Applicants are therefore required to ensure they have secured admission to a participating institution and completed the scholarship application before the deadline.
The German Embassy has encouraged eligible young people to apply within the stipulated period as the programme seeks to support skills development through technical and vocational education.
