KenGen Education Scholarships Class of 2025 Posts Strong KCSE Performance, Reinforcing Return on Social Investment
The KenGen Education Scholarship Class of 2025 has delivered a strong and competitive performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), affirming the Foundation’s sustained investment in academic excellence and equitable access to quality education across the country.
Out of 27 sponsored candidates, the cohort produced two straight As, four A– (minus), one B+ (plus), eight B (plain), four B– (minus), five C+ (plus), one C (plain), and one C– (minus). Notably, 15 out of the 27 candidates—more than half—attained B (plain) and above, securing direct university entry grades. An impressive seven candidates scored A– and above, placing them in the top academic tier nationally and underscoring the transformative power of structured educational support.
The top performers include Paul Stravens Moseti (Kapsabet High School) and Joshua Obewa Otieno (Nanyuki High School), who both scored straight As. They are joined by Samuel Kihenjo Munene (Kirogo Boys High), Abraham Mnang’at Atikimoi (Ortum Boys High), Esther Naserian Letoya (Kamahuha Girls High School), and others who attained A– (minus), positioning themselves competitively for placement in highly sought-after university programmes.
The breadth of performance across regions—including Eastern, Turkwel, Ngong, Kipevu, Olkaria, Western, and Tana—demonstrates the Foundation’s inclusive approach to educational equity. By supporting students drawn from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and geographically dispersed communities, KenGen continues to close opportunity gaps while strengthening the national talent pipeline.
Beyond the individual grades, the results reflect measurable return on social investment. The scholarship programme provides comprehensive support—tuition, mentorship, psychosocial guidance, and monitoring—creating an enabling environment for academic success. The fact that over 55 percent of the cohort achieved university qualifying grades signals the effectiveness of this holistic model. These outcomes align directly with KenGen Foundation’s mandate to build human capital, enhance community resilience, and contribute to national development through education.
The 2025 KCSE cohort sat the examination alongside a record number of candidates nationally, in a highly competitive environment. Within this context, the strong performance of KenGen scholars underscores not only academic discipline but also the impact of structured corporate philanthropy anchored in accountability and long-term vision.
Education remains a cornerstone of KenGen’s Corporate Social Responsibility and ESG framework. By investing in secondary education and supporting transition to tertiary institutions—particularly in STEM and energy-related fields—the Foundation is cultivating the next generation of professionals who will drive Kenya’s sustainable development and energy transition.
As the Class of 2025 prepares to transition into universities and tertiary institutions, their achievement stands as a testament to what is possible when corporate citizenship moves beyond charity to strategic, data-driven investment in people. The results reinforce KenGen Foundation’s belief that empowering young minds is one of the most sustainable ways to power the nation’s future.
