The University Fund (UF) is grappling with delays in releasing student funds under the Student-Centered Funding Model (SCFM), Chief Executive Officer Dr Edwin Wanyonyi says.

Speaking at a workshop in Naivasha, Wanyonyi said the agency is facing bottlenecks in tracking student data across institutions before disbursements can be made, including validating records with the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).
