More students are set to join the Rubis Energy Kenya Scholarship Fund (REKESF) this academic year. The new batch will join 29 other secondary school students and 16 university students who are current beneficiaries of the fund in both secondary and university institutions around the country.
The Rubis Energy fund is granted to financially needy students who have completed their Primary School KCPE exams and passed with distinction. This scholarship is only available to students who have received admission to 4 select National High Schools including Alliance High School, Alliance Girls School, Limuru Girls Secondary School and Mang’u High School.
Upon completion of their secondary education, the scholarship is further extended to cover University education for the students with exceptional grades.
Commenting on this year’s scholarships, Jean-Christian Bergeron, the Rubis Energy Kenya Group Managing Director and CEO for Rubis East Africa said, “As a company, we recognize that our existence is part of a larger system of people (employees and community), and other organizations. We are committed to being a responsible organization that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Education is a key component of our culture, and we will do our best to ensure that we invest in the future of the communities we are part of.”
Stephen Nyarenchi formerly of Alliance High School said, “Rubis Energy came in at a critical point to assist in funding my secondary school education. This has ensured that my hopes of becoming great in future are still in motion.”
Kipkoech Venuns a final year student at The University of Nairobi added, “This has been a life changing-opportunity in making sure that I am able to see my dreams come to fruition.”
