The KENYA Airlift Program is an award-winning initiative that helps brilliant Kenyan Students achieve the dream of studying in the US regardless of their financial background.
The program was founded in late 2018 by US-based education & technology consultant Bob Mwiti. It was founded in collaboration with a Member of County Assembly of Meru Hon. Dennis Kiogora, popularly referred to as DMK.
The program’s mission is achieved through a key partnership with MPOWER Financing. They serve as the official lending partner for unsecured student loans covering both tuition and living expenses.
It also involves partnerships with US universities, where the program negotiates tuition fee waivers and scholarships. They collaborate with The Airlift Sacco to help finance students’ relocation expenses. Moreover, a partnership with Qatar Airways offers discounted relocation air tickets to the students.
The program only accommodates ambitious and incredibly talented Kenyans. These are individuals who are willing to take a leap of faith by joining the tech industry. They achieve this by studying STEM or business-related master’s programs.
This award-winning program is trying to fix three major challenges Kenyan Students face in their quest to study in America, namely:
- Acquiring funding for relocation, tuition and living expenses.
- Finding well-paying jobs after graduation
- Acquiring permanent residency in America after graduation
The program is divided into two options: regular and parallel. These options are based on the student’s academic qualifications and financial capabilities. Each option offers a unique way of gaining an amazing experience at the university.
The regular student’s academic requirement is a B plain mean grade in KCSE with a B plain in Mathematics or Physics. They also need a second class division in undergraduate. In contrast, parallel students’ academic requirements are a C+ mean grade in KCSE and a second class division in undergraduate.
The program has an active membership of about 2000 students. As of January 2023, the program has seen over 200 students relocate since its inception. They study at various top State Universities in the US, enhancing their amazing experience at the universities. Many more are currently in the relocation pipeline.
The program has official working relationship with top Universities in North America namely:
- The University of Alabama in Huntsville
- Grand valley State University
- South Dakota State University
- Indiana University of Pennsylvania
- Missouri State University
