Applicant Requirements

Applicants for ISA financing must:

·       Be between 18 and 35 years old.

·       Provide a Rwandan National ID.

·       Provide a passport-size portrait photograph.

·       Provide a birth certificate.

A guardian must be a Rwandan who knows the student's behaviour and is willing and able to confirm the student's interest and commitment to study under Chancen's ISA financing model.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Interested and eligible candidates should follow these steps:

Step 1: Complete and submit the official EACC scholarship application form through the link at the bottom.

Step 2: Wait for the EACC admission process and decision.

Step 3: Applicants admitted to EACC must then meet Chancen International's ISA eligibility and application requirements.

Step 4: Eligible admitted students will be required to attend an ISA workshop or meeting together with their guardians before the start of classes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Meeting EACC's academic admission requirements does not automatically guarantee approval for Chancen International's ISA financing. Applicants must first be admitted to EACC and then successfully complete Chancen's separate ISA assessment and application process.

Students who are approved under the ISA financing model must make the required semesterly commitment payment on time. Chancen disburses semester payments to EACC only after the student has successfully paid the required commitment contribution.
