List of 39 Public Universities in Kenya

The Kenyan government has announced that it will stop sponsoring students who join private universities and colleges. Instead, the government will only sponsor students who enroll in public universities and colleges.

This decision was made in an effort to reduce the financial burden on the government. The government currently spends a significant amount of money on sponsoring students in private universities and colleges. This money could be better used to improve the quality of education in public universities and colleges. READ ALSO : Are you eligible for a 100% sponsorship by the GoK?

What does this mean for students who are currently enrolled in private universities and colleges?

Students who are currently enrolled in private universities and colleges will not be affected by this decision. They will be able to continue their studies and graduate without any problems.

However, students who are planning to enroll in a private university or college in the future should be aware that they will not be eligible for government sponsorship. This means that they will have to find a way to fund their education themselves.

There are a few options available to students who are looking to fund their own education. One option is to take out a loan from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). HELB is a government agency that provides loans to students who are unable to afford to pay for their education.

Another option is to work part-time while you are in school. This can help you to cover some of the costs of your education.

Finally, you may be able to get financial assistance from your family or friends. If you are unable to find any other way to fund your education, you should consider asking for help from your loved ones.
