ICPAK SCHOLARSHIP FOR ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE STUDENTS 2015

ICPAK will award merit based scholarships that would enable bright young students from financially disadvantaged families acquire an education thus giving them an opportunity to partake of a basic human right and as well provide an avenue to elevate themselves and their families on the social ladder.

ICPAK plans to sponsor 3 scholars every year to enjoy a full 4-year university education in the field of Accounting and Finance.

ICPAK Members can support the Scholarship Fund by making a donation or adopting a scholar. To donate or adopt a scholar please follow this link.

The Scholars

To maximize the impact of this scholarship and ensure sustainable change, we will focus on high potential students who have already demonstrated excellence in school and extracurricular activities but lack the finances to proceed with higher education. All of our applicants will pass through a rigorous selection process as follows.

• They belong to the top 10% of the most talented students in their school year, determined by their primary and secondary school academic achievement reports (KCPE & KCSE-score).
• They come from disadvantaged financial backgrounds, assessed through school recommendations, interviews, and, in some cases, visits to their local homes.
• They convince us of their potential with their extraordinary personalities.

Mentoring

This is a cornerstone of this project, anchored on the belief that molding an all round person is by far more important than simply paying for them school fees. Every scholar will receive mentoring, training, and coaching and will become part of ICPAK’s network of future decision makers that will drive our country forward in an economic, political and social way. This is by ensuring that they receive good professional guidance capable of preparing and giving them a competitive edge in the local and global market.
