The Kenya Pipeline Company Limited 2026 Inuka Scholarships are now open, offering structured educational support to students transitioning to senior school. The scholarship is administered by the KPC Foundation and is designed to promote inclusive access to education by supporting learners who demonstrate academic potential but face financial and social barriers .
The Inuka Scholarship is a targeted intervention aimed at ensuring that no deserving learner is left behind at a critical stage of education. By focusing on students who sat for the 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) and attained results classified as “Meeting Expectation” or “Exceeding Expectation,” the programme aligns academic merit with social inclusion.
The 2026 intake continues the Foundation’s long-standing commitment to education as a driver of empowerment, independence, and long-term socio-economic participation for persons with disabilities.
