The Scholarship Program
The Raskey Scholarship Program is an impactful initiative by Raskey Foundation dedicated to overcoming financial barriers and fostering quality education for students. Our mission is to elevate the standards of education and lifelong learning by providing vital support to those facing financial challenges. This program, made possible through community support, extends access to education and mentorship to children in every county.
Born out of a commitment to assist children from less fortunate backgrounds, the Raskey Scholarship Program is dedicated to creating opportunities for those in need. Beneficiaries, carefully selected from all 47 counties in Kenya, are chosen based on both academic merit, as demonstrated in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examination, and financial need. Explore the details of the program below, including requirements and the terms and conditions. Once you have thoroughly reviewed and understood the requirements, feel free to complete the Application Form.
Upon completing their education, scholarship beneficiaries are encouraged to become members of the Raskey Foundation Alumni Association. This association is dedicated to extending opportunities to other deserving students, ensuring a bright future for them, and perpetuating the positive impact of our collective efforts.
