The School Leavers Attachment Scheme (SLAS) selects talented students from Kilifi, Kenya, who have just completed high school with excellent grades to go on a three-month attachment. Students gain valuable work experience in laboratories, hospital wards, computer departments and community interaction. This experience gives students an advantage over most other university first-years.

Following the release of the KCSE results, using a rigorous selection process, we recruit nine of Kilifi’s top performing students for the School Leavers Attachment Scheme.

If you scored an average mean grade of B+ and above in the 2017 KCSE, and you completed your KCPE in a Kilifi County primary school, you can submit an application.
