KCB Bank Uganda Launches Scholarship programme for vulnerable students

KCB Bank Uganda launched the KCB Scholars Programme to support 56 financially vulnerable students in Uganda.

The initiative provides two years of scholarships to help these learners complete their Advanced Level education, which is a critical academic stage that many students often fail to reach due to a lack of funds. The first group of scholars includes 30 girls and 26 boys from eight government secondary schools across the country. Among these students, eight individuals have disabilities.

The programme covers school fees, uniforms, scholastic materials, and stipends. It also provides students with mentorship and life skills coaching. The bank selected the participants in coordination with community representatives, school administrators, and District Education Officers to identify students with strong academic potential who face genuine financial needs. Students who successfully finish their Advanced Level studies will be considered for partial scholarships to pursue undergraduate degrees.
