Kenya Scholarship Fund Inc (KSF)

Kenya Scholarship Fund Inc (KSF) is a US based 501(C) 3 IRS tax exempt organization. It was established to promote academic advancement for at-risk high school students in Kenya. KSF is headquartered in Houston, Texas with an operations branch office in Nairobi, Kenya. Since its inception in 2007, KSF has awarded numerous scholarships to needy students in several high schools in Kenya. The Organization provides scholarships to academically gifted Kenyan students who would otherwise not be able to successfully pursue a High School Education and realize their full potential as talented human beings. KSF members celebrate the transformative role education has played in our lives. As such, we feel duty bound to reciprocate by facilitating provision of the same educational opportunities afforded to us to economically struggling yet academically competent students. Our work takes various forms; chief among them are outright academic scholarships, volunteerism and financial support geared toward elevating the caliber of high school education in Kenya. http://www.kenyascholarship.org/
