National Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme

The scheme offers eight scholarships for Tanzanian students to support them in the completion of postgraduate education at selected Tanzanian Higher Education Institutions covering 15 energy-sector related Engineering courses relevant for the development of Tanzaniaís natural gas sector. It is funded by BG Tanzania and administered by British Council Tanzania.

The scheme is run as a pilot for the September student intake of the Academic Year 2015/16. 

Tanzanian nationals who are able to meet the relevant course entry requirements and can demonstrate their ability to successfully complete their chosen studies.

Applicants should not have a Master's degree.

Scholarship Awards are granted for full-time courses starting in September/October 2015, and will cover the full period of study for the respective courses, i.e. either 18 or 24 months, depending on the course.

Awards cover (1) academic tuition fees, (2) research costs, and (3) direct student costs, including accommodation, living allowance etc., as agreed with each of the respective Higher Education Institutions.

Applicants should note that the Awards may not cover all costs associated with their studies and that they may require additional funding (private or from other third parties). 

The emerging natural gas and wider energy sector will offer attractive employment opportunities through a competitive application process for Tanzanian citizens with the relevant technical and professional skills.

Beneficiaries will be better equipped to access potential employment opportunities with energy companies and other companies participating in the sector's supply chain.

Some beneficiaries may have the potential to apply to the BG Tanzania Graduate Programme or other corporate training schemes.
