MKNK Foundation Releases Final List of 110 TVET Scholarship Beneficiaries After Vetting Over 2,500 Applicants

The MKNK Foundation has officially released the final list of 110 beneficiaries selected for its fully funded six-month Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program. The announcement follows a rigorous vetting process that reviewed 2,552 applications from across Liberia.

According to the Foundation, the new cohort begins classes on Monday, November 10, 2025, marking another major step in the organization’s mission to empower Liberian youth with practical skills that lead to economic independence, job creation, and long-term national development.

“We are building a society and investing in a future of productive, competitive, and innovative citizens,” said Martin K. N. Kollie, CEO and Founder of the MKNK Foundation. “This is about preparing a new generation of nation builders – technocrats and technicians – who can create jobs for themselves and for others.”

The Foundation emphasized that technical and vocational education remains one of the most effective pathways for empowering people to establish businesses, pursue entrepreneurship, and meet Liberia’s growing demand for skilled labor.
