The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has announced full scholarship opportunities for students interested in joining certificate courses in the 2026/27 academic year.

In a notice released on Thursday, May 14, KMTC CEO Kelly Oluoch said the scholarships will support students pursuing a Certificate in Community Health Nursing.

The course will begin in September 2026 and will run for two years.

According to KMTC, students who will be selected for the programme will receive full financial support for the entire duration of their studies.

KMTC said the scholarship programme is being offered in partnership with the Beyond Zero Initiative to help improve healthcare services at the community level.

Priority will be given to students from Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) counties, vulnerable communities, minority groups and other underserved areas.
