Scholarships for Tanzanian Students

Scholarships for Tanzanian students can provide them with valuable funds to fund their studies. If you are seeking for a scholarship to fund your studies and  belong to  Tanzania, then you can apply for many scholarships offered only to nationals from Tanzania.
Winning such scholarships is comparatively easy than open scholarships because you will generally face less competition in this case.
This list contains some compiled scholarships for the Tanzania students. These scholarships are offered at the different levels of education starting from initial undergraduate degree to vast research opportunities.
These scholarships cover almost all streams of education. Students have a liberty to select the subject according to the qualifications and the eligibility criteria of the scholarship.
Some of the below mentioned scholarships are fully funded while some of them are rewarded partially. I hope that this information would be useful for the students. Now Tanzanian students can vouch for their bright future.  Let us see the list given below.
