In March 2025, a team from Uganda Martyrs University visited Kyaka II and Nakivale refugee settlements to promote the RUFORUM TAGDev 2.0 scholarship program. The outreach aimed to ensure that refugee communities were fully informed about the scholarship opportunities, particularly the 25% allocation specifically reserved for them.<\/p>\n
The team engaged with refugees across Sweswe (Kyaka II) and Juru, Rubondo, and Base Camp (Nakivale), reaching over 100 participants. Through interactive sessions, attendees received detailed information about university admission procedures, the scholarship application process, and the waived application form. The sessions emphasized empowering refugees to confidently apply and take advantage of the educational opportunities available.<\/p>\n
Local leaders and camp officials played an important role in mobilizing participants and pledged to support wider dissemination of the scholarship call within their communities. The outreach activities reinforced UMU\u2019s commitment to making higher education accessible to all, regardless of background.<\/p>\n
Moving forward, Uganda Martyrs University remains dedicated to deepening engagement with refugee communities, expanding awareness of available opportunities, and supporting applicants on their journey to achieving higher education and transforming their futures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
