In accordance with President William Ruto’s directive when he unveiled the new funding model on May 3, 2023, students from vulnerable and extremely needy households will receive 100% funding while the needy and less needy will get 93% government funding and a paltry 7% contribution from their households to cover for the tuition fees.
All Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students who have received letters from TVET colleges as per the placement from Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) are eligible for funding. To effect this, the government has classified students seeking funding into four categories: the vulnerable, extremely needy, needy and less needy .
Funding across the four categories will be determined by evaluating family economic background to ensure that students from poor households are given priority in terms of scholarship allocation while those from less needy households are covered by loan financing from HELB as has been in the past.
At Ikutha TVC, the college freely assists the students to apply for the Helb loans.
We welcome all to the ITVC fraternity!
