\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The RIMA Foundation Scholarship Programme (RFSP) is designed to assist eligible professionals who are constrained in pursuing their career path in data, information, records, document, contents, and archives management, \u00a0maintain, enhance, and develop their professional skills.<\/p>\n

It is open and priority given to members of the Information Management (IM) Academy, Institute of Information Management (IIM) and other members of the public across Africa respectively.<\/p>\n

eligibility<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text dp_animation=””]<\/p>\n

Applicants are not necessarily expected to be members of the RIMA Foundation Information Management (IM) Academy or Institute of Information Management (IIM), but priority is given to members belonging to either of the two organisations. While eligible applicants may be residing anywhere in Africa, those eligible applicants currently posted or assigned outside of the continent will also be eligible. Previous awardees who meet the eligibility requirements may apply again.<\/span><\/p>\n
