About the Department

The Financial Aid Office coordinates scholarships, bursaries, HELB loan processing and other financial support for Kenyatta University students. The office exists to ensure that no qualified student is locked out of education for lack of funds, connecting needy students with available funding opportunities.

The office works with the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Universities Fund, county governments, corporate sponsors and philanthropic foundations. It also administers work-study programmes that allow students to earn income through part-time campus placements.
