This is a list of secondary school scholarships for vulnerable or needy yet bright students who performed exemplary in their KCPE examinations but are unable to join high school due to financial constraints.
Candidates for the KCPE who scored exceptionally well but are unable to pay the secondary school tuition need not worry anymore. There are currently 10 major Foundations that provide these scholarship opportunities.
