Cheapest public colleges in Nairobi

Now, when it comes to public colleges, all government-sponsored colleges in Nairobi are relatively inexpensive in terms of fees.

You see, regardless of what course you will be pursuing at any level of study (diploma, certificate, or artisan), the tuition fee is the same: Kshs. 67,189 per academic year.

Furthermore, if you are placed by KUCCPS, you are eligible for government scholarships and loans, depending on your level of financial need.

What exactly do I mean when I say “level of financial need?”

What I mean is that students are classified into four groups based on their financial needs.

In a nutshell, the following is a breakdown of the fees by category:

Less needy:

• Government scholarships – 32% of the above fee per year
• Loans – 48% of the above fee per year
