The Catholic University of Bukavu has a network of partners who offer scholarships to some of its students based on well-defined criteria. The following, are some of the scholarships offered to our students: ETUKIVU The ETUKIVU project was set up by a support group based in Brussels and composed of three goodwill personalities including Professor Xavier Renders, Jean-Louis Pairon and Professor Jean-François Taymans. They teamed up to support the Special Project “Bourses sociales en faveur des étudiants les plus défavorisés de l’Université Catholique de Bukavu” (Social grants for the most disadvantaged students of the Catholic University of Bukavu). The group is committed to providing a minimum support of three thousand euros (€3,000) per year over a period of at least three years from October 15, 2016. Since that date, activities for search of funds that finance the project consist of collections from Belgian donors. The results of this collect allow the support group to award each year 9 scholarships to students who, despite their intellectually proven abilities, have difficulty paying their academic fees.
