About the VC Run

ABOUT THE VC RUN

We are excited to announce the 5th edition of the Strathmore University Vice Chancellor’s Run, an initiative to support scholarships. Mark this date – May 31st, 2025!

WHY DO WE RUN?

We are dedicated to offering high-quality education to bright students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. Through collaborations with industry partners, generous donors,  the SU community of staff, students, and alumni, have availed over KES 1 billion in scholarships over the past two decades. Currently, about 15% of our undergraduates receive financial assistance, and with your support, we aim to increase this to 25%.

We invite you to join this cause, a true reflection of our core value of service to society, as we work together to raise funds for scholarships that will help make Strathmore University a need-blind institution.

Be a part of this life-changing initiative by:

  • Signing up for the 2.5km, 5km, 10km, or 21km

  • Join a virtual run to support the cause (more details to follow)
