Boosting Graduation Rates

Kamitei believes that scholarships are essential because they broaden access to education and help reduce global inequities. Performance-based scholarships, in particular, have been linked to better student outcomes globally. Such interventions are crucial in rural areas of Tanzania, where educational resources are scarce, and learning outcomes are generally lower.

We give scholarships to talented school students and young people who stand out. All from low-income families, these high-fliers have the academic potential and determination to graduate from secondary school and higher education.

Eagle Scholarships

Eagle Scholarships support a student’s education from the last two years of primary school, through the first four years of secondary school, and ideally onto the two advanced levels of secondary school. We then assist the advanced level graduates with their university submissions and government loan applications.

Community Scholarships

Students who have completed their formal schooling after four years at secondary school can apply for a community scholarship to attend a vocational training college. These young people study courses such as hospitality, conservation and other courses that will directly benefit their community.

Kamitei’s focus on improving the Eagle Scholarship program has brought significant benefits, with many students being accepted for boarding at regional secondary schools and over 80% of multi-year scholarship recipients ranking as top performers.

Impact of scholarships

Kamitei’s approach and effective program management has resulted in stronger academic results and higher graduation rates for scholarship students. These outcomes underscore the transformative impact of our scholarships on education for these students from rural Tanzania.
