Students who sat for the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) can apply for funding under the new University financing model rolled out by the government on May 3, 2023.

In the new funding model, students from vulnerable and extremely needy backgrounds will receive 100 percent financing, while those from needy and less needy backgrounds will get 93 percent.
