It is not scholarships from the Kenya Government. We do, however, have a Bachelor programme where a limited amount of money is available, a maximum of US$2,000. Locally, we have a form of scholarship whereby we reduce the costs tremendously so that universities become affordable. In a sense, a lot of our students are actually benefiting from Government scholarships in that the cost of being a public university student is relatively low compared to other countries in the world."}
