KF Students
KF is proud to announce that the first class of "KF scholars" has been selected for the 2007 school year. All applicants filled out a detailed scholarship application, underwent a family interview and took entrance exams at both of the KF partner schools in Luska - Ibex Hill Secondary School and Leopards Hill Secondary School. All participants passed the entrance exams with impressive marks, and both of the secondary schools were eager to enroll the selected students. Based on funding and social issues, KF accepted 10 top students (4 girls, 6 boys) into the scholarship program. KF matched five students to each school, where all KF students board during the school term.
The academic year in Zambia starts in January and ends in December, consisting of three academic terms. Secondary school starts in Grade 8 and is completed after Grade 12. All KF students are selected to start in Grade 8. The KF scholarship program is a commitment of five years, both from KF and the student, in order to support the full graduation of the selected students.

KF is proud to announce the second class of "KF scholars" has been selected for the 2008 school year. The application and selection process for the 2008 class of scholars started in July. KF expanded its applicant base and received 60 applications from six primary schools. All applicants were recommended and nominated by their primary schools and teachers. After reading through the applications and recommendations, 30 applicants were invited to interview with the KF staff and take the secondary school entrance exam.
KF selected 10 new students (5 boys, 5 girls) who will start 8th grade in January 2008. These students have earned a KF scholarship through their hard work in the classroom and were selected after a rigorous application process. KF's previous group of students (listed above) will be moving on to 9th grade, therefore making a total 20 students in the KF program! The 2008 student profiles will be posted to the website shortly.
