A European University has offered scholarships to about 41 youth from Malindi to study different courses online.

So advantageous is the scholarship that those interested only had to pay Sh 3000 as Commitment fees with the University catering for the rest of the fee costs.
A statement from the University showed that the youth registered and are undertaking different courses in Project Management, Business Management, and Women In leadership among others.
