KenolKobil Education Scholarship Fund has over the years assisted bright and
underprivileged children from all over the country to access quality secondary
education.
The Fund
is open to all students who sat for the 2011 KCPE and are awaiting to join Form
1 in 2012. In its selection, the fund’s trustees ensure gender and regional
balance by awarding an equal number of boys and girls and representation from
each region in Kenya.
The
scholarship covers tuition and other statutory payments for the four years of
secondary education as well as University Tuition fees for beneficiaries
admitted to any of the public universities in Kenya.
Since its
inception in 2002, the Fund has assisted over 90 students by not only paying
their school fees, but also involving them in rigorous mentorship programmes
through which the students become part of a highly skilled workforce relevant
to the current job market.
