For every training cycle, we have a limited number of scholarships available. The awarded scholarship covers the full training fee for one training round.
Scholarships are primarily intended for Soliya Connect alumni and individual applicants from low-income countries or backgrounds, and underrepresented groups. Please visit here for more information.

In your application, please explain: 1) why you are interested in joining the training; 2) why should you be awarded the scholarship.
