As part of the education sector reforms, the Ministry of Education has expressed special interests in expanding educational opportunities for marginalized populations, particularly those in Coast, Eastern, North Eastern provinces and urban slums in Nairobi. North Eastern, Eastern and Coast provinces have the highest percentage of the minority Muslims who have been historically marginalized in the past. In the North Eastern Province pastoral communities lack access to culturally appropriate schooling, and the populations in North Eastern, Eastern and Coast provinces also have less experience with the formal education system altogether.
Scarce water resources contribute to lower incomes, and as a result limit the ability of the parents and communities to fund their children’s education. It is as a result of this marginalization that USAID has decided to provide 18 higher education scholarships to these communities to the extent of USD $400,000 from the Africa Regional Account to provide four -year university scholarships with the aim of increasing the numbers of those transiting from basic education to higher education and also to train a pool of leaders who would act as role models for the younger generation and take the lead in addressing challenges of the marginalised communities within Kenya. These marginalised areas account for a minority percentage of students enrolled in universities.
The scholarship will cover tuition fees, registration fees, basic stationery, textbooks, boarding cost, examination and research fees where applicable, cost of practicum and other miscellaneous costs such as transport, medical fee activity and stipend for the academic years 2008/2009 – 2012/2013. The scholarship beneficiaries will be selected by the joint management committee with representatives from USAID, SUPKEM, Higher Education Loans Board and Ministry of Education.
Target areas:
The areas of marginalization from where the beneficiaries will be selected are as follows:
Province Areas
North Eastern Garissa, Ijara, Wajir, Mandera
Coast Lamu, Kwale, Tana River, Kilifi, Mombasa
Eastern Isiolo, Marsabit, Moyale
Selection Criteria:
The beneficiaries must come from a marginalized background as indicated in their high school records, certified letters from the chief or assistant chief on their family backgrounds and be unable to pay for university education completely.
- The beneficiaries must have a minimum Kenya’s university entry requirement of C+ and above or equivalent qualifications
- The beneficiaries must have an admission letter to an accredited public university in Kenya
- The study period must be a maximum of four years
- The beneficiaries will be required to provide community service upon graduation for a period of six months which will be part of the scholarship acceptance package
- The beneficiaries must be willing to produce all the relevant academic certificates and testimonials
- The beneficiaries will be required to provide a list of all organizations they belong to.
- The beneficiaries will have to declare any other scholarship or bursary they are receiving
The scholarship will be advertised in the local dailies requesting for applications from eligible and qualified candidates who will collect the application forms from the District Education Offices in the targeted districts. Once all the completed application forms have been received at the offices of the Higher Educations Loan Board on the closing date, the Joint Management Board will meet for the selection process. The Joint Management Committee is made up of two representatives from the USAID/Kenya office of education, one representative from the USAID program office, three representatives from SUPKEM, one representative from Ministry of Education (Directorate of Higher Education) and one representative from Higher Educations Loan Board. The Joint Management Committee will come up with the list of the beneficiaries.

Lydiah Gathoni Kinuthia are my official names and currently a first year student at Kenyatta University here in Kenya pursuing a Bachelors degree in Economics and Finance. Earlier in the year 2010, I did a Diploma course in Human Resource Management at the Moi University – The Bakhita Campus in Kitale , Kenya and obtained a DISTINCTION. Between 2006 and 2009 I was at Limuru Girls School for my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and obtained a mean grade of A-.
Since I was young, I’ve always had a dream of becoming an Accountant. Driving past our small town where we lived, my imagination would often be captured by the beautiful houses that lined the streets and it was then when I realized that I wanted to become an Accountant so I could own one. As I grew up and particularly during my high school time, I naturally excelled in subjects like Mathematics and Physics but did not fare so well in subject like Chemistry.
I guess from early on I could see that I had a leaning towards Mathematics as you shall find in my high school academic transcript on request. I know a number of peers who have done their work until university and are still unsure of what career goals they want to pursue, but for myself I knew early on that I wanted to become a competent Accountant. I was also an active member of Mathematics, Science, Environmental and Science Congress Clubs during my days in high school.
Academics alone did not shape who I am today. In school, I was also active in sports and served in the sports committee. The sports taught me invaluable lessons on life and learning. Values like independence, leadership and discipline have all been imparted into me through joining the sports. Lessons like these could only be learnt outside the confines of the classroom doors.
One of the strongest influences that I have in my life is my family. My family is made up of my parents and a brother. My family puts great value on us for having a proper education. My dad came from a humble beginning, only to become a field officer when he graduated from a local agricultural tertiary college here in Kenya . My dad never had the chance and opportunity to pursue a degree course in university but given a chance he is ready to go back to class.
Yet, despite his lack of university education, my dad had a drive to succeed in life and to provide an education to us. My dad is currently on contractual employment at a seed firm and has achieved much when it comes to taking us to school. When my parents had me and my brother, they made it their goal to give us the best education they could afford. Early on, they both instilled in us the importance and value of education in life and future.
As I grew up and saw how much sweat, toils and tears they put into sending me and my brother to school, I desired to excel in my studies. Even as I am now pursuing the four years Bachelors Degree in Economics and Finance course, I know it is a great burden and sacrifice on my parent’s part to send me to university to study. Yet I believe that they have the hope in me that I will achieve what they could not; a better education and a better life, for every generation should live better than the last.
I believe that I am indeed privileged to get the opportunity to study for the course as I am the first person in my extended family to pursue a Degree course.
Being in one of the best universities in Kenya , I certainly gain a lot in terms of my academic studies and achievements. Yet to say that all I gain from my study is just intellect would be to ignore the other facets of my education. Education is not about intellect alone, but also about the shaping and maturity of one’s character. I have never travelled overseas, therefore when I first came to college it was a very new, exciting and a bit scary experience for me. The university culture differs somewhat from the High School culture and it took some time for me to adjust to it. One thing that really challenged me was my ability to communicate with more mature people.
That itself was a mountain that I had to overcome and conquer. After 6 weeks of study at the college, I can look back and confidently say that my self-esteem in terms of my communication with mature people has been increasing by leaps and bounds. I guess it was my frequent interaction with them during lectures, group assignments and social gatherings that have enabled me to bridge the communication barrier that had held me back before this.
I’ve always wanted to become an Accountant since I know I will achieve that goal, I am setting my eyes on something bigger now, to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA – K) course during my free time. After a few years of establishing myself working at an Accounting firm, I one day intend to open my own Accounting firm, one that handles not only local projects but also international.
Becoming successful in terms of just the size of my company and wealth is just one aspect. The term ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ which has been made popular by the Spiderman movies comes into mind as I want to give back a portion of my success to the community and society at large. I hope to be able to contribute my services as an Accountant to help out people who have not been so fortunate like I am soon to be.
My parents did not start with much but accomplished a lot; therefore I myself too want to be independent and not rely too much on them. Some of my peers may take varsity life as a time to party and have fun, and personally I have nothing against that, but I see life not just at this present time but also try to plan for my future.
Sometimes it breaks my heart when I see the kind of trouble my parents go through to have me and my brother get the best education and food on the table. When I finish my education and get a good job, I will ensure my parents enjoy some comfort in old age. This I promise them.
I believe that getting a good education and good grades will give me a good springboard to launch my corporate career. Hard times will definitely come, but I believe that perseverance and a belief in Jehovah God will get me through it all. In summary though I will be 20 years old by December 2011, I am no longer able to support my university studies due to financial constraints and that my family financial needs continue to grow as my brother is also in primary school and is to join high school come the year 2012.
In view of this, I would like to request your good office for financial assistance or link me to any organisation you think can be of help to me so that I can raise Ksh 50,000/= (Equivalent of $550) per one academic year and reading materials so I could be able to continue my degree studies. This is not only for my professional growth but also to upgrade and enhance my skills to suit the dynamic changing system.
I can be contacted on my dad’s cell phone number +254 722 368 848 or through his email address berrykn@yahoo.com.
Before I end off, I would like to express gratitude to USAID HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME for giving many applicants due consideration.
I am hoping for your positive response about the matter.
Best regards and thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
