Annual Application Timeline:
February-August: Application forms are available from the EFAC Office in Nairobi or published on the official website. Students must apply with an official copy of the EFAC Application, fill in the application on their own, and submit it physically or via courier to the EFAC office. Note: We do not accept electronic copies of applications.
August 31st: Applicants are due at the EFAC office. Late applications will not be considered. Applicants are encouraged to be as thorough and detailed as possible.
August-December: Applications are ranked by the EFAC scholarship team, and candidates are shortlisted for Interviews. Shortlisting is based on need and academic performance in the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA).
