Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched a scholarship program to support college and university students in Kenya and Ethiopia.
The Bybit Scholarship Program, announced on September 17, 2025, is a corporate initiative aimed at empowering young people in higher education.
The scheme offers scholarships of up to USD 4,000 (Sh516,000), enabling students to pursue their academic and professional goals.
At least 100 students are expected to benefit, with awards ranging from USD 100 (Sh12,900) to USD 4,000.
The company said the initiative underscores its commitment to education, youth development, and inclusive technological growth across Africa.
It recognizes education as a cornerstone of innovation, social progress, and economic transformation.
Students interested in the program are required to submit short videos, no longer than three minutes, introducing themselves, their universities, and their fields of study.
They must also explain how the scholarship would help them achieve their goals. Videos should be posted on X, tagging @BybitAfrica, or on TikTok, tagging @Bybit.Africa, with the hashtags #WSOT2025 and #RewriteAndReshape.
Applicants must also complete the official submission form through the application link provided.
The entry period runs from September 17 to October 17, 2025.
Wilson Ogheneovo, Bybit’s Africa Regional Manager, described Africa’s youth as the driving force behind the continent’s innovation and growth.
“By investing in their education, we are not only supporting individual students but also contributing to building a stronger and more inclusive digital economy for the future,” he said.
The scholarship program aligns with Bybit’s broader mission of empowering communities by expanding access to knowledge, skills, and opportunities in the digital economy.
