WHY DO WE RUN?
Strathmore University is committed to providing high-quality education to bright students from underprivileged backgrounds. In collaboration with industry partners and philanthropic individuals, the University has over the last decade invested more than KES 1 Billion in scholarship programmes. Currently, about 15% of our undergraduate students receive Scholarships, and with your help, we can attain our ambitious goal of 25% of students under financial aid.
Since its first edition in 2021 , the Vice Chancellor’s Run has grown tremendously. We invite you to join our run for impact initiative to raise funds for the Scholarship Fund which provides financial aid to students.
