Equity Bank 2016 Wings to Fly Scholarships

This year, the Wings to Fly program will offer 2000 comprehensive secondary school scholarships across the country.

We believe the best way to empower the next generation is to support them in accessing education.

The Wings to Fly scholarships will be given to top performing pupils ranked in the top 5 percentile in the 2015 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education [KCPE) exam and who are economically and financially challenged, from all over Kenya.

Only children from needy backgrounds who would otherwise not afford to join Form 1 without financial support are considered for the scholarships.

Details about the Scholarship

Candidates who will attain 350 marks and above are advised to fill, in the application form, attach their result slip and return to the nearest Equity Bank branch or Equity Bank Agent.

Application forms can be obtained from Equity Bank branches or nearby Equity Bank Agents.

Completed application forms must be returned to the Equity Bank branch not later than 6th January, 2016.

Shortlisted students will be invited for interviews which will be conducted by the Equity Group Foundation Community Scholarship Selection Board [CSSB).

The Wings to Fly scholarship caters for school fees, books, uniform, transport, shopping, and pocket money for the four years of secondary school.

The Wings to Fly program is a partnership between Equity Bank, The MasterCard Foundation and Equity Group Foundation.

It is a program that provides comprehensive Secondary School education and leadership training to academically promising yet economically and socially marginalized young Kenyans.
