Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the bursary?
Any student who is a resident of Garsen North Ward for at least 3 years, has a confirmed school admission, demonstrates financial need, and maintains good academic performance (minimum C plain) is eligible to apply.
How much money can I receive?
The bursary amount varies depending on the level of study, the applicant's financial situation, and the number of applicants. University students may receive more than secondary school students. The Ward Bursary Committee determines the final allocation.
Can I apply if I received a bursary last year?
Yes. Students can apply for bursary support every year. However, priority may be given to first-time applicants and those with the highest financial need. You must submit a fresh application each cycle.
Where do I submit my application?
Applications should be submitted in person at the Ward Office in Garsen North. You can also drop off forms at your local Chief's office. We recommend submitting early to avoid last-day rushes.
How will I know if my application is approved?
Approved applicants will be notified through the Ward Office. You can also check on this website for status updates. Funds are disbursed directly to your institution — you will see the credit on your school fee balance.
Do I need to pay anything to apply?
Absolutely not. The application process is completely free. Do not pay any person claiming to process or fast-track your application. Report any such attempts to the Ward Office immediately.
