The Laikipia University’s 2024/2025 First Years admission commenced successfully on 12th August, 2024 at the university’s Vision 2030 hall. Prof. Robert Mwebi, Registrar, Academic Affairs (AA) welcomed the prospective students, their parents and guardians on behalf of the Vice Chancellor.
In his address, he congratulated the prospective students and wished them well as they headed for confirmation as bonafide Laikipia University students through admission.
The admission process required 7 critical documents:
- Letter of Offer/Admission Letter
- Personal Details Form
- Student Bond of Good Conduct
- National ID/Birth Certificate
- KCSE Result Slip
- Form Four Leaving Certificate
- First Year Student Registration Form
He advised students to apply for loans and scholarships through the Higher Education Financing (https://www.hef.co.ke/) portal. The New Funding Model (NFM) is student-centred because loans and scholarships are issued based on the students’ level of need and programme fees.
Households will also be contributing towards education funding (fees payment) on a graduated scale as determined by Means Testing Instrument (MTI) reviewed from time to time. The Means Testing Instrument (MTI) is a scientific method of determining the student’s level of need. Therefore, households will be contributing between 5%-40% towards their children’s University or TVET education.
The University anticipates enrolling the over 2700 students placed at the institution by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Placement Service (KUCCPS) by closure of the exercise.
The Vice Chancellor visited the admission venue to assess the smoothness of the process.
