Needy students receive Sh100 million in fees bursaries

Kiambu County has taken a proactive step in supporting its students by officially distributing bursary forms aimed at disbursing Sh100 million in financial aid.

The initiative is part of the county’s larger scholarship programme, which annually allocates Sh500 million to enhance education opportunities for students from needy backgrounds.

The initiative aims to empower local youths and alleviate the financial barriers that many families face. Successful applicants could expect to receive between Sh5,000 and Sh10,000 each to cover various educational expenses such as tuition fees, learning materials, and other necessary costs.

The initiative will further ease the burden on parents and guardians, ensuring that students focus on their studies and academic performance without the added stress of financial constraints.

Governor Kimani Wamatangi stated that his administration would continue to support the education department and urged the members of the bursary committee to show the highest levels of accountability while disbursing the bursaries.
