For Nick Mwaura, the dream of studying abroad had been alive long before he discovered the International Scholars Program. In fact, he had already secured a full scholarship to study in the United Kingdom. Everything seemed set—until a chance encounter with ISP changed the trajectory of his life.
Nick recalls visiting ISP’s Nairobi offices on a Monday morning. “I got exposed to the different institutions they work with in the U.S. and their focus on science, technology, and mathematics,” he shares.

That very day, he made the bold choice to enroll in ISP, joining a community of scholars committed to pursuing U.S. master’s degrees. Coincidentally, he met another prospective student—someone who had also been admitted to study in the UK. Both made the leap that day, and both are now headed to the U.S.
But Nick’s decision wasn’t made lightly. He had to convince his parents, who were cautious given the rise of scams targeting students in Kenya. “I exposed them to ISP’s social media, YouTube channels, and even got them to attend online sessions hosted by Bob Mwiti,” he says. The family soon recognized ISP’s legitimacy, and their support sealed Nick’s commitment.
By August 2nd, Nick had officially joined the program, and by November 4th, his visa was approved—a moment of victory that made the leap of faith worth it.
For Nick, ISP is more than just a program. It’s a platform where African students gain exposure to global networks, refine their professional skills, and build solutions for their communities. “Through ISP, I know I’ll be able to refine my software project and penetrate the African market with a solution that truly makes an impact,” he explains.
Nick credits ISP founders Bob Mwiti and Wilfred Mui for creating a life-changing opportunity. “What they have done here is breathtaking,” he says. “It will help so many African kids nurture themselves and solve real problems.”
