Work Study & Student Engagement Programmes give KCA University students paid, flexible ways to fund fees and upkeep while building real workplace skills.
60+students supported with financial assistance each year
Work Study & Student Engagement Programmes
The Campus Life Wing runs these programmes to make sure students can stay in school even when finances are tight. Instead of a one-off grant, students take on part-time work within University units and departments, earning towards fees and upkeep each trimester or semester.
Both academic and professional students are eligible, and vacancies are advertised each intake as departments identify their staffing needs.
