In early September this year, the KCCU presented four scholarships valued $1,000 a year each, two bursaries worth $600 each, and 41 one off payments of $150 each to primary school students headed to various secondary schools.
A spokesperson of the institution, which celebrates 52 years of existence this year, said that the KCCU is proud of the students and wished them the best at the tertiary level, especially Carr, who had 12 passes with 11 grade ones this year at CSEC.
