Six East African secondary school students will for the next five years benefit from a university sports scholarship. This was revealed as Brookside Dairies released a Sh35million cheque to Strathmore University yesterday. 

The scholarships will see 30 students join the university in a period of five years. The first beneficiaries of this initiative will join Strathmore University to study for a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2016. However, the students will have to excel on the pitch and in class in order to secure the opportunity.
