President William Ruto has pledged full government funding for all students admitted to public universities and colleges, starting this September. This announcement replaces the previous differentiated model based on family income.

• Every student placed in a public university or college will receive full funding, regardless of their family's financial background.
• This initiative replaces the less successful Variable Scholarship and Loan Funding Model introduced in 2023, which faced legal and practical challenges.
• Parents retain the option to contribute, but their inability to pay will not prevent enrollment.
