How does the KEF select students?:
KEF scholarships are given on the basis of two major criteria:
Need & merit. Since 2001, the KEF has given more than a thousand needy Kenyan girls and boys scholarships to hundreds of different high schools scattered across Kenya. Our program is unique in that we reach students from all eight provinces of Kenya as well as a very diverse mix of ethnic communities.

KEF scholarship recipients range from urban slum-dwellers to rural nomadic families to refugees raised in Kenyan camps. A significant portion of our scholarship recipients represents the children of peasant farmers from across the county’s rural areas. In all, we seek to increase access to education for Kenyans from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds. As such we do not restrict scholarships to a particular city, town or ethnic group. Rather, we look for children who demonstrate a commitment to furthering their education as well as significant need.

To provide equal opportunities to all Kenyans, the KEF strives to maintain and even distribution of:
** 50% Girls
** 50% Boys
** 50% Nomadic
** 50% Non-nomadic
