List of TVET Institutions

The Kenyan government has announced a new funding model for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) , Teachers training colleges and national polytechnics The new model, which is expected to be implemented in the 2023/2024 academic year, will provide financial assistance to students based on their level of need.

Under the new model, students will be categorized into four groups: vulnerable, extremely needy, needy, and less needy. Students from vulnerable and extremely needy households will receive the most financial assistance, while students from less needy households will receive the least, as explained in this detailed guide.

The govt has also announced that it will only sponsor college students in PUBLIC TVETs and colleges. This means that the Govt will no longer place and offer scholarships to students placed in private institutions of higher learning.

How do I apply?

Students who are interested in being sponsored by the Govt should apply through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS). The KUCCPS is a government agency that is responsible for placing students in public universities and colleges. The deadline for applying to public universities in Kenya is usually in May. Join our whatsapp community to know when the application is open. The following is a list of public TVETS and Teachers training colleges where the government will only sponsor students. It is important to note that some of the universities listed here do offer diploma and certificate courses.

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.
