- 501(C) 3 IRS tax exempt
organization started in Houston in 2006.
- KSF's goal is to provide scholarships to
needy students in several Kenyan High
Schools.
- Primary education in Kenya is free. However,
secondary education is partially subsidized
by the Kenyan government, and only 10% of
students get more than an 8th grade
education. Girls are lowest priority in many
homes.
- Scholarship selection criteria include
financial distress, extracurricular
activities, community involvement and
written communication skills. This
information is expressed by students in an
essay.
- Students must maintain a "B" average or
better in order to retain their scholarship.
- Future goals of Kenya Scholarship Fund are
adding a computer training component to the
education of Kenyan High School students.
