Needy college students from West Mugirango Constituency in Nyamira county have been called upon to apply for bursaries before the deadline date for applications.
The chairperson of the Constituency Education Fund in West Mugitango Daniel Mokunyo said currently there are very few applicants who have submitted their application forms yet there are many needy students in the region.
Mr Mukonyo blamed the students for delaying to apply for the bursaries and later on raise complains of not receiving the money.
“There has been a tendency of students not applying for bursaries and assuming that our offices are aware of their problems and that’s why I am calling on them to ensure that the deadline does not lock them out,” he said.
This come barely few days after the office announced the increase of the bursary kitty allocation hence more students from the constituency are expected to get more amounts of the bursary compared to the previous financial year.
The deadline for applying for the bursaries is the end of October.
