Equity Bank, MasterCard Foundation and USaid will this year offer 2140 scholarships across the country to children from needy backgrounds who will attain 350 marks and above in this year’s KCPE examinations.
The initiative is part of the Wings to Fly program which was launched in January with the aim of assisting 10,000 deserving students to go through secondary school education.
Application process
Eligible candidates are required to apply at the nearest Equity Bank branch or Equity Bank Agents.
“Students should carry their results slips or a letter from their head teacher as evidence of their score in order to be issued with the application forms,” Equity Bank CEO James Mwangi said.
Upon application, shortlisted students will subsequently be invited for oral interviews that will be conducted by the Equity Group Foundation district scholarship selection board.
The Wings to Fly Program is an initiative of Equity Group Foundation and The MasterCard Foundation with support of UKaid and USAID.
