Post-Graduate Scholarship

Program Overview

The WNIH Post-Graduate Scholarship Program supports advanced research that contributes to the transformation of food systems in the West Nile Region and beyond. We fund master's and PhD candidates whose research aligns with our mission of regenerative and inclusive food systems.
