A bright Kenyan student, Brian Mwaura Ng’ang’a, faces financial hurdles despite securing admission to St John’s University in New York City for Computer Science.

• A significant annual funding gap of $34,114 (Sh4,400,706) threatens his dream of studying in the US.
• The 17-year-old, from a disadvantaged background in Kajiado County, achieved an A-minus (79/84 points) in his 2025 KCSE exams.
• His family is appealing for support from well-wishers, diaspora networks, foundations, and corporate sponsors to bridge the financial shortfall for his August 2026 intake.
