Sponsored places

Bright, but the fees are out of reach?

Every intake, partners and donors fund EMT places for students who have the grades and the drive but not the money. Here is how it works — for students and for sponsors.

Community CPR training
For students

Who can apply

Sponsored places cover part or all of the EMT diploma fees. They are awarded on merit and need, and come with the same expectations as every other place: full attendance and the complete 500-hour internship.

Grades
KCSE C- or better with Biology and a language
Need
A short statement of your situation and, where possible, a reference from a teacher, chief or religious leader
How
Apply for the EMT diploma as usual and mention “sponsored place” in your message — we take it from there
Apply for EMT
For sponsors and partners

Fund a place

Companies, NGOs, churches and individuals can sponsor a full or partial place. You choose the level; we match you with a student, keep you updated on their progress and invite you to graduation.

Full place
Tuition, uniform and kit for one EMT student for the whole programme
Partial place
A share of tuition, pooled with other sponsors
Partners
Hospitals and employers who take our students on placement and hire our graduates
Become a sponsor
How sponsorship works

From application to the ambulance

01

Apply and tick “sponsorship”

Use the normal EMT application. Tell us about your situation — a short letter and your KCSE result slip are enough to start.

02

Interview on merit

Sponsored candidates sit the same written and oral interview as everyone else. Places go to bright students who need them, not to the loudest voice.

03

Matched with a sponsor

Partners, donors and the college fund places each intake. Fees are paid directly to the college, and sponsors receive progress reports.

04

Train, intern, give back

You complete the full 22-week programme and 500-hour internship, and join our community CPR days so the next household also has someone who knows what to do.

EMS awareness in schools

Most students have never heard of an EMT

Emergency medical services is still a young profession in Kenya. We visit secondary schools and colleges across Nakuru and the Rift Valley to explain what EMTs do, demonstrate CPR and show students a career path they did not know existed. Invite us to your school — the session is free.

One place changes a household.

A trained EMT brings a salary home and emergency care to a whole community. Talk to us about sponsoring the January 2027 intake.
