A word from Eli, founder of Rise Africa Scholars

MSc Information Security — Unicaf Scholar

While you wait for a fully funded opportunity, don’t put your education on hold. I completed my MSc through Unicaf — studying online from Nairobi while working full-time. The tuition discount made it genuinely affordable, and the degree is from an accredited UK university.

If you’re serious about advancing your career now, I’d encourage you to explore it. I only recommend what I’ve used myself.
