Mully students who score C+ or higher on the Grade 12 KCSE exam qualify for a four-year university program in Kenya. These students have successfully applied through the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) and obtained a coveted university placement. The cost for a Mully student to attend university is $5,000 per year and includes the cost of tuition, room and board, laptop, school supplies and transportation. This is an elite opportunity for a select group of people who have the resources to truly make a life changing difference in the life of a child who once had no hope. Could that be you?
