~ 2022 ACCES Post-Secondary Scholarship ~
The African Canadian Continuing Education Society (ACCES) is now accepting applications from suitably qualified students for their ACCES Post-Secondary Scholarship. It is a fully-funded scholarship for all students.
About the Scholarship
The African Canadian Continuing Education Society (ACCES) is a registered charity that has provided scholarships to underprivileged Post Secondary students in Kenya since 1993.
Most of our scholars join the ACCES Alumni Association (AAA) to support new students and some of our scholars have come back to work as staff in our Kakamega Kenya office where they run the office and award scholarships.
