FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial aid and educational scholarships come in handy at times when parents are not in a position to pay school fees for their children. And well, it is every parent’s desire to admit their children in institutions that would offer the best environment for positive transformation to their knowledge, attitudes, learning capabilities and skills.

 At Newlight Ziwa schools, we are awake to this reality and making it possible for under privileged students to have an equal opportunity at gaining quality education and perfecting their other capabilities via the scholarships program.

As a school, we play a major role in the society by helping deserving needy students who may otherwise never get an opportunity to access education despite their manifested academic or talent. We also have a keen eye on needy students that possess potential talents that need to be developed. For this reason, we embrace social entrepreneurship in the running of our affairs.

The Board of Directors in its wisdom acknowledges that the success of our institution includes the success of the less privileged segments or members of the community.

Towards this end, a few pupils and students from needy backgrounds and those that exhibit some talents are assisted through the scholarships program.

This is one form of exercising corporate social responsibility while alleviating poverty through investment in education.

Consequently, due to the limited resources, the school is currently offering scholarships (which include full and partial scholarships) to pupils and students in the following categories.

  • Academically gifted (but from families that cannot raise adequate financial resources to support the child)
  • Outstanding student leaders
  • Outstanding in co-curriculum activities

The beneficiaries of the Newlight schools Ziwa scholarships program have continued to exhibit exemplary character while performing very well in their studies.

This has therefore gone a long way in supporting the entrenchment of discipline, dedication and a desirable school culture.

In addition, a number of our graduates have joined local universities to pursue different degree courses.

We are currently working on establishing linkages for financial support of such learners both at the local (National) and international level in both monitory non monitory support for projects sustainability.

This in effect demands that we reach out to like-minded persons and institutions to share in these endeavors and boost the scholarships program.

We have established a bursary fund that sources for funds to be utilized on the upkeep and tuition fees for the deserving students.

Furthermore, an Endowment fund that will be named in the donors’ name or in memory of a person of their choice is in place.

The fund is usually not utilized; only the interest will be used for supporting the initiative.

Talk to us info@newlightziwaschools.sc.ke on how we can share our dream on providing holistic and quality education that transforms the learner to be innovative, God fearing and to serve society.

We have supported more than eighty students via the scholarships program in the past four years and we desire to increase the scope of this financial support to include scholarships for especially talented learners in the fields of;

  • Science
  • Technology
  • Engineering and
  • Mathematics (commonly known as STEM)
  • Drama
  • Music
  • Sports and
  • Athletics

This will be in support of our Kenya Government’s plan to transit from the current 8-4-4 system of education into the more practical oriented Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) system.

This system will afford learners an opportunity to choose a pathway that would lead to own desired career path.

It is our humble thinking that the scholarships program will come to aid more and more deserving students.
