High school scholarships for needy students: How to apply
By Peter Ochieng
Are you a needy student with a fantastic education record? Did you perform well in the just released Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and are in need of a scholarship to proceed with your education?
Here are scholarship opportunities for you;
The Equity scholarship program was formed to aid high performing children hailing from less fortunate backgrounds. The program beneficiaries are selected from across Kenya’s 47 counties, based on their performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination.
Awareness of the program is conveyed through public forums i.e. administrative chief’s forums, places of worship, through radio announcements and social media channels. Application is made at all Equity Bank branches, Equity Agents and on the Equity Group Foundation’s Website.
Beneficiaries of the scholarship are selected by the Community Scholarship Selection Board (CSSB), which is made up of key leaders in the community and is chaired by the County or sub-County Director of Education.
