The student scholarship program provides a key step to breaking the poverty cycle for these children, their families and the community. By the students gaining highly employable skills through advanced education, trade or business qualifications, they will be in the most favourable position to be significant income earners in the future.

The Secondary & Vocational School Scholarships are only available to students who attend St John's school, supported by Oasis Africa Australia. 

Secondary School Scholarships

A Secondary Schoool Scholarship is available to all P8 students who attend St John's school and successfully complete their final Kenyan Curricullum based exams having met the required eligibility grades. The Oasis Africa Australia scholarship provides the funds for each student to pay for full tuition and administration fees, board/accommodation, text books, materials and school uniforms.  In 2011 there were 28 students who had been awarded a secondary school scholarship.

Vocational School Scholarships

A new program introduced in 2011 was the Vocational School Scholarships.  This program will ensure that students who do not achieve the required final exam results to qualify for a secondary school scholarship can gain qualifications in employable skilled courses including motor mechanics, building, carpentry, welding and textiles.  To assist the P8 students in identifying suitable courses, Oasis Africa Australia will be organising a career advisor to visit the school at the end of each year.
