President Ruto Announces Full Government Funding for University Students - July 2026

President William Ruto has announced that all students qualifying for university education will receive full government funding, pending parliamentary approval of a new proposal. The government has unveiled plans to implement fully funded tertiary education for all students, representing a significant shift expected to replace the widely criticized 2023 income-based funding model. This marks the fourth major overhaul of Kenya's university funding model under the Ruto Administration.
