John Kinja, from Meru County, is pursuing a Master’s in Supply Chain Management at the University of Kentucky. Reflecting on his journey, John describes a mix of emotions — excitement for the opportunity ahead and the bittersweet feeling of leaving family behind.
Shem Odhiambo, from Nairobi County, also joined the University of Kentucky to study Supply Chain Management. His vision extends beyond personal success: he dreams of scaling educational technology projects across Kenya and East Africa, leveraging his advanced supply chain skills to streamline distribution and impact thousands of public schools.
Meanwhile, Alphonce Manje, from Migori County, embarked on a different but equally inspiring path. He is pursuing a Master of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology at Quinnipiac University. A pharmacy graduate, Alphonce saw his future in cancer care and research.

Each of them earned their visas on the first attempt, a testament to their resilience and the effectiveness of ISP’s comprehensive guidance.
For John and Shem, studying Supply Chain Management wasn’t just about career advancement — it was about building the skills needed to solve real-world problems.
Alphonce chose Molecular and Cell Biology to deepen his passion for healthcare innovation. With a curriculum rich in oncology and biomedical research, he is positioning himself to lead groundbreaking change in Kenya’s healthcare sector.
All three scholars express heartfelt gratitude to the International Scholars Program for making their dreams a reality.
Now, settled in their new homes, John, Shem, and Alphonce are embracing their academic journeys with excitement and purpose.
Their stories are a reminder that when ambition meets opportunity — and when the right support system stands behind you — anything is possible.
