The University of Nairobi in collaboration with the Chine Embassy in Kenya initiated the scholarship programme for the University needy students way back 2013.  Every year the Embassy has been issuing the scholarships to the needy students to enable them pursue their studies in all academic disciplines.  So far 58 needy students have benefited from this programme Since 2013.   The Chinese Embassy in Kenya has been issuing scholarships to the needy students to pursue their studies without fee problems.

The Director of CaseLap at the University of Nairobi School of Law, reported that they had successful teaching, learning  and online examinations last week for their students.  That all the students had smart phones with them which enabled the lecturers to deliver content to them without problems.  Furthermore he noted that during the examination time they had hiccups with connectivity and accessibility but later this challenge was resolved by the ICT team which was available through out the examination period.

Poor network coverage in most parts of the country has affected the online teaching and learning.  In most parts of the country there has been heavy floods and landslides.  Due to these issues most of the students from the areas have been reporting that they have been unable to remain as consistent as their counterparts from other private institutions who are less affected.  The student of the University of Nairobi reported this on Sunday June 13, 2020 that most of them are not ready to sit for online examinations as they had missed most of the online lectures due to network interference.
