Moroccan Government Scholarships

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saint Kitts and Nevis has announced a significant educational opportunity for its citizens: a scholarship program offered by the Kingdom of Morocco for the 2025/2026 academic year. This generous initiative provides twenty scholarships for nationals of Saint Kitts and Nevis to pursue higher education in Morocco, encompassing both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. This represents a valuable chance for Kittitian and Nevisian students to broaden their academic horizons, immerse themselves in a different culture, and gain internationally recognized qualifications. This program underscores the strengthening diplomatic ties between the two nations and their commitment to fostering educational exchange and human capital development.

A key component of the scholarship program is the mandatory French language training provided at the International Centre of Languages in Rabat, Morocco. This pre-academic language immersion will equip successful applicants with the necessary linguistic skills to thrive in their chosen academic programs. Recognizing the importance of language proficiency for successful integration and academic achievement, the Moroccan government has incorporated this essential element to ensure students can fully benefit from their educational experience. This linguistic preparation will not only facilitate academic success but also provide students with a valuable skillset applicable in a globalized world.

Eligibility criteria for undergraduate studies stipulate that applicants must be between the ages of 19 and 23 and have obtained their high school diploma in 2023, 2024, or 2025, or a CAPE/Associate Degree in 2024 or 2025. This targeted age range aims to support young individuals at the beginning of their higher education journey, providing them with a springboard for future academic and professional success. The requirement of recent graduation ensures that applicants possess up-to-date knowledge and are prepared to embark on a demanding academic program.

The application process requires a comprehensive set of documents, demonstrating the commitment required from prospective scholars. All applicants, regardless of their chosen level of study, must submit certified copies of their CSEC diploma, CAPE or Associate Degree transcripts (as applicable), birth certificate, nationality certificate (if applicable), passport, national ID, recent criminal record, application form, and a medical certificate. This medical certificate must confirm that the applicant is free from tuberculosis and any other contagious disease, and is mentally and physically fit to pursue their studies. These requirements ensure the health and safety of both the individual scholar and the wider student community in Morocco.

For postgraduate applicants, additional documentation is required to demonstrate their prior academic achievements. In addition to the standard documents listed above, those applying for Master’s programs must submit a copy of their Bachelor’s Degree and transcript, providing evidence of their undergraduate qualifications. Doctoral candidates must also provide a copy of the dissertation or thesis submitted for their Master’s degree, showcasing their research capabilities and academic contributions within their chosen field. This rigorous documentation process ensures that the selected scholars are well-prepared for the demands of postgraduate study.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has provided resources to assist potential applicants. Information regarding available institutions and courses of study in Morocco can be accessed online at www.amci.ma/publications. The application form itself is available for download at https://shorturl.at/IRlCN, simplifying the application process and ensuring accessibility for all interested individuals. The deadline for submitting all required documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is July 3rd, 2025, giving prospective applicants ample time to gather the necessary materials and complete the application process. The Ministry strongly encourages all eligible and interested individuals to capitalize on this prestigious opportunity to pursue higher education in Morocco and to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for any further clarification or assistance. This scholarship program represents a significant investment in the future of Saint Kitts and Nevis, fostering international collaboration and empowering its citizens to achieve their academic aspirations.
