Agriculture plays a vital role in the development and sustenance of any country.

To further support and promote agricultural advancement in Kenya, the $500 Agriculture Advancement Scholarship Award was established for 2024. This scholarship aims to recognize and reward exceptional students who are dedicated and passionate about agriculture.
The scholarship is being provided by an organization known as the Agricultural Advancement Foundation (AAF). AAF is a non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable agriculture practices and supporting young individuals interested in pursuing careers in this field. The foundation firmly believes that investing in agricultural education is crucial for the future development of Kenya’s agricultural sector.
