Moroccan Scholarship Program for 2025-26 Announced by the NIA Ministry of Human Resources

The Nevis Island Administration, through the Ministry of Human Resources, is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity offered by the Government of Morocco to citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis pursuing higher education. This comprehensive scholarship covers a range of expenses, including tuition fees, registration fees, necessary school supplies, accommodation, a monthly stipend, and round-trip airfare. This represents a significant opportunity for aspiring scholars to pursue their academic goals with substantial financial support. The Moroccan government’s commitment to fostering international education is reflected in this generous scholarship program.

The application process is categorized based on the applicant’s desired level of study: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate. For Bachelor’s degree applicants, the eligibility criteria stipulate an age range of 19 to 23 years. They must submit a comprehensive set of documents, including a certified copy of their CSEC diploma obtained no later than 2023, along with their CSEC and CAPE or Associate’s Degree transcripts. Additionally, applicants need to provide a certified copy of their birth certificate, nationality certificate (if applicable), a copy of their passport biodata page, an original recent police record, and a copy of their National Identification Card. Crucially, a medical certificate from public health services is required, confirming the applicant’s physical fitness, vaccination status, and absence of contagious or acute diseases, specifically tuberculosis.

Master’s degree applicants must fulfill the same documentary requirements as Bachelor’s applicants but must also include certified copies of their Bachelor’s degree and transcripts. Doctorate level applicants follow the same procedure as Master’s applicants, with the additional requirement of submitting a copy of their Master’s degree dissertation or thesis. This tiered application process ensures that candidates are appropriately vetted based on their academic standing and proposed research area. The required documentation underscores the Moroccan government’s emphasis on transparency and due diligence in selecting scholarship recipients.

A unique aspect of this scholarship program is the mandatory French language training provided to all successful applicants. This language immersion will take place at the International Center of Languages in Morocco. While this adds an additional layer of commitment for the successful applicants, it represents a valuable opportunity to acquire proficiency in French, a globally recognized language. This language acquisition will not only facilitate their academic pursuits in Morocco but also enhance their future career prospects.

The application process emphasizes timely submission. Applicants are required to submit their completed application form and all supporting documents to the Ministry of Human Resources by Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. This deadline allows ample time for prospective applicants to gather the necessary documentation and prepare a compelling application. Prospective applicants are encouraged to explore the provided websites, www.amci.ma/publications and www.moroccoalumni.ma, for detailed information regarding participating institutions and the range of courses offered. These resources offer a comprehensive overview of the academic landscape in Morocco, allowing applicants to align their academic aspirations with the available programs.

Further details regarding eligibility criteria, scholarship selection criteria, and the selection process itself can be found in the accompanying brochure. The Ministry of Human Resources is also available to provide additional assistance and answer any queries that prospective applicants may have. This commitment to supporting applicants underlines the Nevis Island Administration’s dedication to fostering educational opportunities for its citizens. The scholarship program offered by the Moroccan government presents a valuable pathway for students from St. Kitts and Nevis to pursue higher education, broaden their horizons, and contribute to their communities upon their return.
