Kitale National Polytechnic Finance Director Okaka Sultan Supports Needy Students with Bursary Disbursement

Kitale, Kenya – In a commendable gesture of support for students facing financial challenges, Kitale National Polytechnic’s Finance Director, Okaka Sultan, has successfully disbursed bursaries to 20 deserving students from the institution’s student kitty. 

The bursaries, aimed at alleviating the financial burdens of the students, were awarded during a ceremony held at the Polytechnic's administration block. This initiative is part of the institution's ongoing efforts to promote educational equity and ensure that talented students have the opportunity to pursue their academic and career goals regardless of their financial circumstances.

Okaka Sultan, who oversees the financial affairs of the Polytechnic, expressed his satisfaction with the bursary disbursement. "We recognize that many of our students face financial hardships that could impede their educational aspirations," Sultan remarked. "Through this bursary program, we hope to provide some relief and enable these students to focus on their studies and achieve their full potential."

The selection process for the bursaries was rigorous, with a focus on identifying students who demonstrated not only financial need but also academic merit and a commitment to their studies. The recipients were selected based on a comprehensive review of their applications, which included their academic records and personal statements outlining their financial situations and future goals.

The bursaries will cover various educational expenses, including tuition fees, books, and other essential supplies, thereby providing significant support to the students. This financial assistance is expected to ease the students' financial worries and allow them to concentrate on their academic pursuits.

Students and faculty alike have praised Sultan’s efforts, noting that such initiatives are crucial in supporting the educational journeys of those who might otherwise be unable to continue their studies due to economic constraints. 

"This support means a lot to us," said one of the bursary recipients. "It not only helps with our immediate financial needs but also motivates us to work harder towards achieving our academic and career goals."

The Kitale National Polytechnic community is hopeful that this example of leadership and commitment to student welfare will inspire similar initiatives both within and beyond the institution. The success of this bursary disbursement underscores the Polytechnic’s dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive educational environment for all its students.

As Kitale National Polytechnic continues to grow and evolve, efforts like those led by Finance Director Okaka Sultan play a pivotal role in shaping a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
