The Namibian Youth for Green Hydrogen (Y4GH) Scholarship Programme is now open for the citizens/residents of Namibia.
This Programme in collaboration with the German Government has been established. The scholarship is fully funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and spans over 5 years.
This Scholarship programme will facilitate capacity building for the emerging Green Hydrogen industry, while addressing the high youth unemployment in the country.
