When Kelvin Kiiru first stumbled upon International Scholars Program’s videos online, he wasn’t quite sure what to make of them. “At first, I was skeptical,” he admits with a laugh.
“I thought, ah, maybe it’s just another scam. But the more I watched—especially the success stories—I realized this program was the real deal.”
That moment of curiosity led Kelvin, a strategic business development consultant from Kiambu County, Kenya, to the International Scholars Program (ISP)—a decision that would open the doors to a transformative chapter in his life.
Today, he’s set to pursue a Master’s in Project Management at Missouri State University in the United States, and the excitement is written all over his face.
Kelvin’s path wasn’t without setbacks. His first visa application was denied—a frustrating but not uncommon experience for many aspiring international students. But he didn’t let that define his journey.
“That first denial taught me a lot. It helped me prepare better for the second attempt,” he says. “The support from ISP kept me going.”
Before joining the program, Kelvin had carved a niche in online business development, helping startups and companies grow through strategic planning.
But he longed for something bigger—a global perspective, advanced skills, and the experience of studying in a first-world education system. Pursuing graduate studies in the U.S. felt like the natural next step.
Kelvin will be taking a multi-leg flight from Nairobi to Springfield, Missouri, via New York and Atlanta. But he’s not worried about arriving in a foreign land. Thanks to ISP, he already has a support system in place—accommodation, airport pickup, advice on graduate assistantships, and even job search tips.
With an open mind and a strong sense of purpose, Kelvin is preparing to embrace a new way of life—faster-paced, more individualistic, and full of opportunity.
He’s also deeply thankful to his family, who have stood by him during this transition. “I’ll miss them a lot, but I know they’re praying for me and supporting me every step of the way.”
