    "content": "regardless of one’s socioeconomic background. Once a student is placed to a university by the Kenya University and College Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), they lodge an application for funding through the higher education portal. Students placed in public universities can apply for both scholarships and loans while those placed in private universities are eligible only for loans. The student-centred model has five bands. These are set out based on the household income groups and the level of need. The household income groups represent broad household weighed income brackets that are as follows: Band 1 is the group whose household income is below Ksh5,995 per month and Band 2 falls on households whose income per month is between Ksh5,995 and Ksh23,670. Band 3 is from Ksh23,671 to Ksh70,000, Band 4 is from Ksh70,001 to Ksh119,999, and Band 5 are those whose household income is above Ksh120,000. There is also affirmative action that is considered during the banding. Hon. Speaker, under Table 1 that I included in the letter I forwarded to you, the amount of scholarship for Band 1 is 70 per cent, the loan is 25 per cent and the household contribution is 5 per cent. To save on time, I will just read the household contribution for the bands. Band 1 contributes 5 per cent, Band 2 contributes 10 per cent, Band 3 contributes 20 per cent, Band 4 contributes 30 per cent, and Band 5 contributes 40 per cent. The rest is contributed by the Government. On scholarships, Band 1 gets 70 per cent, Band 2 gets 60 per cent for TVETSs, Band 3 gets 50 per cent, Band 4 gets 40 per cent, and Band 5 gets 50 per cent."
