Nearly 10,000 private university students will be funded by the state, a government agency now says. “At least 9,662 students in private universities will get loans, with the available cash for scholarships totalling Sh19.6 billion,” he told journalists at a workshop in Naivasha. The announcement of the new funding model opened doors for the admission of 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination candidates. The Kenya Association of Private Universities (Kapu) on Thursday appealed to the government to review the model before implementing it. He added that the new funding model would be unfair to students if the categorisation is not transparent.
