The East African Scholars Fund board has approved an $11,000 grant to the Education and Social Empowerment Program in Nandi Hills, Kenya for 2014. The funds will cover all SAT and TOEFL test registrations and score sends as well as airfare for two American tutors. Last year EASF contributed $4000 to EaSEP.
EaSEP currently has 24 alums attending school in the U.S. and two more were admitted during early decision in December, at Yale and Cornell. Eight others from the Class of 2013 are currently awaiting regular decision results and helping with recruitment of the Class of 2014.
EaSEP students have been awarded close to $6 million in scholarships for an investment of approximately $125,000. That scholarship figure should increase after admission announcements this spring.
Michelle Kemei, above, is an early-decision admit to Yale's Class of '18. Michelle says her goal is "introducing sustainable forms of energy to rural Kenya to curb the depletion of natural resources by the residents for firewood and charcoal."
