Published on December 27, 2011 by cabdulaahi · 2 Comments27 December,2011-:The KCB Group will in 2012 issue up to fifty scholarships to deserving high school students in support of their secondary education.
The sponsorship to be distributed in all the 47 counties in the country will be given on an equal basis to needy boys and girls who sat for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams in 2011.
Students eligible for the scholarship must have scored 400 marks and above and been admitted into a National or Provincial school.
According to Paul Tikani, the KCB Chief Operating Officer, KCB Group has committed to spend up to Kshs 130 million in 2012 as part of its community support initiatives for the year.
More than Kshs 30 million will be dedicated towards education support throughout the year.
“The KCB Foundation Scholarship programme is an improvement from our past sponsorship in 2011 where we offered full scholarships to 44 students in the country, said Tikani.
The initiative shall be implemented through the KCB Group regional offices and branches. It hopes to benefit needy students who have excelled in the KCPE and shall support secondary education in public and government schools only.
According to Rachel Gathoni, the KCB Foundation Manager, students will be required to have an admission letter from a National or Provincial school to apply within a two week window that shall be announced nationally in early January.
In the past the KCB Foundation scholarships have been offered through the PalmHouse Foundation which benefitted 24 students in 2011. Another 20 boys and girls also received full sponsorships at the schools through a partnership with the Starehe Boys and Girls’ Centers respectively.
The KCB Foundation that was established in 2007 currently supports projects in Education, Environment, Enterprise Development, Health and Humanitarian aid in the five countries the bank operates.
To date the Foundation has invested over 300 million shillings into various community projects in the region.
