Willkommen auf der Website des Fördervereins Uni Kinshasa. Wir sind ein gemeinnütziger, eingetragener Verein, der sich den Wiederaufbau der Universität Kinshasa (Demokratische Republik Kongo) zum Ziel gesetzt hat.
Durch die vertraglich gesicherte Partnerschaft der Universität Würzburg mit der Universität Kinshasa (UNIKIN) und ein durch Spenden finanziertes Exzellenz-Stipendium möchten wir insbesondere fachlich erstklassige kongolesische Studenten in Ihrer Ausbildung fördern.
In this year the scholarships of the BEBUC system were distributed at six further congolese universities, so that currently eight universities in Kinshasa, Mbanza-Ngungu, Kikwit, Butembo, Bukavu and Goma take part in the scholarship system.
Additionally it was the first time for high-school pupils to get a scholarship. The early recognition and support of excellent high-school pupils is a promising approach to prevent children from poor families from dropping out of study.
More information is found in the press release of the University of Würzburg, 20 March 2012
The scholarship system BEBUC will be further extended with the aim to cover all universities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Up to know 34 students in Kinshasa and Butembo profit of BEBUC scholarships and the next step will be to integrate Lubumbashi and Kisangani in the program.
