The Equity Wings To Fly Secondary School Scholarship Program application instructions for 2023 are provided in this document.
Candidates who match the requirements can now apply for the 2023 Equity Wings To Fly Scholarship program following the publication of the KCPE results for 2022. In order to assist academically bright but economically and socially disadvantaged young Kenyans, the Equity Group Foundation and the MasterCard Foundation established the Wings To Fly scholarship program in 2011.
26,304 kids from low-income homes have received financial support from the program to attend secondary school thus far. Beneficiaries of the program are chosen from Kenya’s 47 counties depending on how well they performed on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) test.
Applications for the Equity Wings To Fly Scholarship are accepted online, at all Equity Bank locations, and through Equity Agents. The Community Scholarship Selection Board (CSSB), which is presided over by the County or sub-County Director of Education and is comprised of prominent community leaders, chooses the scholarship recipients.
