Alego-Usonga National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) will fully sponsor 46 bright and needy Grade 10 students to join national schools.
According to NG-CDF chairman George Odede, the beneficiaries were selected through a rigorous process from 140 applicants. The NG-CDF will spend Sh2.3 million on the students, who have been admitted to various national schools across the country.
Speaking during the bursary release ceremony at the NG-CDF offices in Siaya town, Odede urged the students to dedicate themselves to their studies and strive for excellence. “We expect you to make the most of this opportunity,” he said.
The 46 students join other bright learners funded by the NG-CDF, bringing the total investment to Sh8.6 million. NG-CDF Accounts Manager Amos Apollo noted that the program has helped bright but needy students complete their education, highlighting that 22 beneficiaries who sat for last year’s KCSE attained university entry grades.
Apollo described the program as “a source of pride for the constituency,” emphasizing its role in supporting talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve academic success.
