BOB MWITI- MANAGING DIRECTOR, APPSTEC AMERICA
Mr Mwiti shows off his 2021 Global Impact Award which was a recognition by International Council Of Educational Professionals (ICEP) for his role in co-founding the Kenya Airlift Program.
I am the managing director of Appstec America- A consulting company that helps immigrants find education & IT job opportunities that are abundant in USA. I was born and raised in Meru, Kenya.
I currently live and work in Tampa, Florida, USA. Prior to coming to USA In 2009, I had struggled a lot to travel out of Kenya for about 8 years. I had been denied visa 4 times at the UK embassy. A common predicament a lot of immigrants face in their quest for studying overseas.
After I graduated from university here in the US, I could not easily find a job just like most student immigrants who come to study in the US. Through hard work and sheer determination, I found a breakthrough after I trained on high income IT skills that are highly marketable here in the United states. I was able to find a Job as a Systems Analyst/Consultant working for fortune 500 companies.
It’s because of the challenges that I faced as an international student here in America, that I founded my organization to primarily help international students like you and other immigrants from across the world find amazing education and IT opportunities that are abundant here in USA that a lot of people struggle to find because of lack of information.
Our goal in this program is not just to bring you to USA to study, but also to help you acquire well-paying jobs that can propel you to financial stability after graduation.

Financial testimonials from some of our students
Through this great program, this student has received FULL graduate assistantship award worth thousands of dollars at Illinois State University, that also comes with a nice job within the university.......................That is truly magical!
We pride ourselves in the fact that no matter what your financial status is, we will make sure that you can attend your dream university in USA!..Your dream is valid!!
Through this great program, this student has received a student loan of $32,324 to study at University Of South Florida. He will start repaying the loan 9 months after graduation!
We pride ourselves in the fact that no matter what your financial status is, we will make sure that you can attend your dream university in USA!..Your dream is valid!!
The official estimated cost of studying at this University for a business analytics master's program is as below;
24,430 (Tuition subject to change)
14,449 (Living Expenses)
3,949 (Health insurance, international student fee, books/supplies)
-----------
$42,828 (Total estimated cost of attendance for 12 months)
This course takes 1 year to finish to a maximum of 1.5 years
Assuming this student takes 1 year to finish then her cost would be 42,828.As is the case with most Kenyans, this student would never have been able to raise 4 Million Kenyan shillings!!!!!.....Now, let's see how this student benefits from this amazing program.Through the airlift program, we got this student Graduate Fellowship Award worth $2,443 per year. Also, through the program, we got this student Graduate assistant-ship scholarship (as per screenshot) of half the tuition amount, which is $12,215 .....that is 1.2 Million Kenyan Shillings!!!!!!!!!
This student was required to fund only $23,170 in-order to complete her master's, including graduate assistant-ship expenses stipend of $5,000 per year which is offered as part of the scholarship.Since the student could not afford $23,170 just like most Kenyans, this airlift program was able to get her unsecured student loan which would be repaid after graduation.
In addition, this student didn't need to worry about air tickets, GMAT exam fees, visa fees, immunization costs etc, this is because through our airlift sacco loan, we give every beneficiary up to 300,000 Kenyan shillings to cater for relocation expenses. How Fantastic is that????...That's mind-blowing!!!!...This is why this program is truly changing lives!!!!!....But also remember, through this airlift program, we train students on latest IT Job skills as they pursue their master's and we also help them with Job placement services after graduation.This is not a program meant to just bring you to USA, there is waaay much more than that!!!!!
The above student gets over 1/2 Million Kenyan shillings in graduate assistant-ship scholarships every semester!!!!
Through this program, this student was able to get unsecured loan of KES 2.5 Million!!!......................That is truly magical!
We pride ourselves in the fact that no matter what your financial status is, we will make sure that you can attend your dream university in USA!..Your dream is valid!!
Through this program, this student was able to get unsecured loan of KES 3.3 Million!!!......................That is truly magical!
We pride ourselves in the fact that no matter what your financial status is, we will make sure that you can attend your dream university in USA!..Your dream is valid!!
