Lumumba said that among the beneficiaries are 100 for general coursers and degrees from Kwale County.
“Five more students will pursue degree in medicine, 5 fully sponsored for law degrees, and ten slots set aside for communities where Base titanium is undertaking exploration activities,” added Mr. Lumumba.
He said that Base titanium has been closely aligned with Kwale County Integrated Development Plan and partners with the County government to ensure development priorities are met.

He appealed to students to apply for more scholarship opportunities whenever they are announced.
