The Eswatini Communications Commission (ESCCOM) is offering the Eswatini Girls in ICT Scholarship for the academic year 2023–2024 in order to promote and assist Southern African students in their pursuit of academic success.
For young women interested in a career in information, communications, and technology (ICT), the ESCCOM has launched the “Girls in ICT” Development Program. With this fellowship, we hope to encourage more young women and girls (aged 17 to 24) to pursue careers in STEM fields, notably ICT.
