Ethiopia has gradually expanding its higher education sector through
increasing the number of federal universities in the country. The Haile
Selassie University, today known as Addis Ababa University (AAU) was the
first higher institution in Ethiopia. The government of Ethiopia also
considers the significance of higher education in its strategy for
social and economic development. The Ethiopian government found advanced
education as a significant plank in its strategy for social and
economic expansion. That’s why it opens the door for foreign students to
enroll in the private colleges of Ethiopia. Jointly funded
scholarships
by the agreement of a joint Ethiopian Ministry of Education and
University of Nottingham provide Higher Education development in
Ethiopia. Various financial schemes like
scholarships,
awards and grants etc. are provided to native students as well as
foreign students in order to expand the education system and to bring
efficiency in it. Our site ‘scholarship-positions.com’ assists you in
finding the several scholarships for Ethiopians. To know more about
those scholarships just explore the below list.
