Subsidised
Why it costs so little
Training a welder costs more than you pay. Followers of The Way, the NGO behind Kazo Technical School, pays part of every student's tuition.
That's how the semester fee stays at UGX 800,000 and still includes your meals and welding materials. Because every student already gets this support, we don't offer separate scholarships at the moment.
- Part of every student's tuition is paid by our NGO
- Meals on training days are included
- Welding materials are included
