The provision of education scholarships is a key aim of the CK Trust and we welcome any support you can give to provide funding to support Kenya children through school. Often clients form a close bond with a Kenyan students during their stay and subsequently elect to subsidise their ongoing school fees. Alternatively you may choose to simply make a donation towards our scholarship fund.

 

The following will provide you with a broad overview of how the fees are structured and where the money goes.

 

Schools are grouped into three categories, National, Provincial and District Secondary Schools. The best students are admitted into National Schools. Students who score 400 points and above get admitted to National schools, 350- 400, Provincial schools, and 250-350 to District level schools. School fees structures therefore vary from category to category to category and in some cases from school to school in each category. National schools charge the highest fees, followed by he provincial and then the district level which charges the least. The structures below are average for each categorised. The private schools are not included.
