This scheme, launched in January 2014, offers 10 scholarships each year
to Tanzanian graduates to study for Masters of Science degrees in UK
universities.
A range of 28 taught courses relevant to the oil and gas sector are
available at three UK universities; Imperial College London, Aberdeen
University and Robert Gordon University.
The scholarships – funded by BG Tanzania and administered in partnership
with the British Council – cover the cost of academic fees, travel, living
expenses and pastoral support while the graduates are in the UK. Successful
candidates will be provided support when applying for a visa.

What does the Scheme cover?
Scholarships are granted for a maximum period of 12 months, for courses
