About Equity Bank Scholarships

The Equity Bank Scholarship Foundation provides over 2000 secondary school scholarships for Kenyan students annually. The Equity Group Wings To Fly Scholarship program was created to aid high-performing children hailing from less fortunate backgrounds.

The scholarship beneficiaries are selected from across Kenya’s 47 counties, based on their performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination. Each year, the host organization determines the set of people eligible to participate in the scholarship program.

The Wings to Fly program is a partnership between the Equity Group Foundation and MasterCard Foundation with support from USAID, UKAID, KfW, and PEPFAR.
