In a major boost for education and youth empowerment, Algeria has pledged 210 scholarships to Ugandan students as part of a growing partnership between the two nations. The announcement was made during a high-level meeting on July 30, 2025, between Uganda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Henry Okello Oryem, and Algeria’s Ambassador to Uganda, Mourad Amokrane, in Kampala.

The scholarships are aimed at strengthening educational ties and youth opportunities across Africa — and come just ahead of the TICAD IX summit happening in Yokohama, Japan from August 20–22, 2025.

TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development) has been a key platform for Africa’s growth since 1993 — connecting African nations with global partners like Japan, Algeria, and others to fuel progress in education, trade, health, and beyond.

This could be a life-changing chance for young Ugandans ready to study abroad.

Stay tuned for application details, eligibility criteria, and deadlines. Tag a student who needs to see this!
