List of Requirements for University Students Funding
For 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) students who intend to apply for government funding under the new paradigm, The University Fund has prepared a list of prerequisites.
The new rules were revealed by the fund’s management, who also pointed out that the paradigm at work here is a student-centered approach to expanding access to higher education for all students
The University Fund offers students a range of financial aid choices, including bursaries, loans, and scholarships.
While scholarships are awarded to students who exhibit great academic performance yet require financial aid, loans are only accessible to students who satisfy certain financial requirements.
The amount of financial aid a student receives from the school depends on a number of variables, including their academic performance, financial need, and the particular academic programme they are enrolled in.
The University Fund, a government organisation with the responsibility to aid students seeking education at Kenya’s public institutions, was established under Section 53 of the institutions Act of 2012.

The model is built using four criteria: the programme of choice, the income range of the household, affirmative performance, and government priority areas.
Students will now be classified as “vulnerable,” “extremely needy,” “needy,” or “less needy” under the new approach.
Under the vulnerable category, students who are living in abject poverty and have no other source of assistance will be eligible for full government scholarships.
Students from low-income families who have little money to cover their tuition at different schools and universities around the nation are viewed as being in dire need.
A student must come from a middle-class household in order to qualify as having financial need since the primary breadwinner must make more money in order to cover all of the children’s school expenses.
