In an exclusive interview with IGIHE, the Admissions and Communications Manager at Kepler, Sylvia Uhirwa said \u201cKepler is not a university. It is instead a non-government organization working with a US university. At Kepler, we combine the in-person facilitation and career training with online courses provided through College for America, a platform of SNHU.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uhirwa says that Kepler, established in 2013, aims to provide quality higher education to those who could not otherwise afford higher education in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Kepler does this through a loan given to students who, with the consent of their parents, sign a contract pledging to pay it back five years after they secure employment.<\/p>\n

For admissions, potential students must apply online then those selected are invited to take a test and are interviewed by Kepler staff. <\/p>\n

Once the potential students are admitted into the program, Kepler pays for all tuition and accommodation. In addition, Kepler provides each student with a monthly stipend for daily basic needs and offers laptops on loans to assist in the students in their academic studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contributes greatly to the development of the country as the student studies without worrying about tuition and upkeep,\u201d added Uhirwa.<\/p>\n

Kepler Rwanda program offers Bachelor of Arts in Management, Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Management in a three-year program.
\n166 Kepler graduates have entered the labor market including those who studied at the Kigali Campus and others who were enrolled at Kiziba Campus in Karongi District.<\/p>\n

The application deadline for the next cohort ends December 31, 2018 <\/p>\n

For more information regarding registration and admission, one can visit Kepler\u2019s website, [www.kepler.org->www.kepler.org] or call +250789773042. You can also visit the campus Kepler\u2019s office in Kimironko-Zindiro, Kigali near Kwa Mushimire.<\/p>\n
