Madhvani Foundation offers scholarships in Uganda for hotel management and environmental studies

eTN, 11th May, 2010 by Prof. Wolfgang H. Thome, Ph.D.

The annual award process of scholarships worth 500 million Uganda shillings is now underway again, as it is every year, and applications must be received by the foundation by May 31 for scholarships available in the field of hotel management and environmental studies, both fields important for Uganda and the tourism and wildlife sectors. Successful applicants will have their tuition fees paid directly to the institution of higher learning of their choice while all other study and living expenses are to be met by the students selected.

The Madhvani Group operates currently 2 of the best known safari lodges in Uganda, and is about to open their third safari lodge in the upper part of Murchisons Falls National Park. The group recently acquired their first safari camp property in the Masai Mara in Kenya, a reason why the foundation in recent years added hotel management and environmental studies to their portfolio.
