Bybit, second largest cryptocurrency exchange globally in trading volume, today announced the launch of the Bybit Scholarship Program, a new corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative designed to empower college and university students in Kenya and Ethiopia.
The programme offers scholarships of up to USD 4,000 to support students in pursuing their academic and professional goals.
Through this initiative, Bybit reaffirms its commitment to education, youth development, and inclusive technological growth across Africa, recognising education as a cornerstone of innovation, social progress, and economic growth.
College and university students in Kenya and Ethiopia are encouraged to apply for the scholarship programme between 17th September and 17th October this year.
To enter the scholarship challenge, the students are required to record a short video (maximum 3 minutes) introducing themselves, their university, and their area of study.
They are also required to explain how the Bybit Scholarship would help them achieve their goals and post it on X (tag @BybitAfrica) or TikTok (tag @Bybit.Africa) with the hashtags #WSOT2025 and #RewriteAndReshape.
Students can also submit their entries through the official application link https://bit.ly/BybitScholarships.
Speaking on the scholarship programme, Wilson Ogheneovo, Africa Regional Manager at Bybit said, “Africa’s young population is 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.”
The initiative seeks to support at least 100 students, giving funding from USD 100 (KES 12,900) to USD 4,000 (KES 516,000).
The Scholarship Program reflects Bybit’s broader mission of empowering communities through access to knowledge, skills, and opportunities in the digital economy.
