Therefore,she scored 369 marks but she did not get any bursaries yet she presented all the required documentation for bursaries including her mother&#8217;s Death Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government released 1.5 billion shillings money that to be used for Affirmative Action Groups and Bursaries for needy children. So the question is,which criteria is being used in disbursing bursaries if an orphan like Virginia Kathure has missed out on both Government and Private sector bursaries opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Kisiangani The Identification of the needy is done by the community through public participation so that only<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
