The Martin Luther King III Scholarship Program

The Martin Luther King III Scholarship Program is a transformative opportunity for young Kenyans to pursue a full education that will open doors to a brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities. It offers more than just financial support – it’s an all-encompassing, holistic educational experience designed to empower scholars academically, socially and personally.

At Legacy College, recipients will engage in rigorous academic programs, leadership development workshops and mentorship that encourage critical thinking, innovation and global citizenship. They’ll be immersed in a vibrant, diverse community that fosters intellectual growth and a deep understanding of the world’s most pressing challenges.

At Kisaruni High School, the feeder high school to Legacy College, learners are prepared with leadership training, mental health support and a well-rounded education that bridges their youth to their professional passions. At Kisaruni, learners thrive in an environment of a high touch education where they are encouraged to take initiative in their learning, embody leadership and stay deeply connected to their cultural values. It is here that learners begin their journey of transformation, laying the foundation for success at Legacy College and beyond.

Get Involved

As a sponsor of Legacy College or Kisaruni High School, you will have the opportunity to connect directly with your scholar and Educators through virtual conversations, allowing you to build a meaningful relationship and see the growth and potential of the learner you support. You’ll receive regular updates on your scholar’s progress – from academic achievements to leadership development – and gain insights into the vibrant community at Legacy College and Kisaruni High School.

For those who wish to deepen their involvement, sponsors are warmly invited to travel to Kenya for the Graduation Celebration, where you can meet your scholar in person and celebrate their remarkable journey to success. This is more than just financial support – it’s an opportunity to share in the triumphs, challenges and personal milestones of the next generation of Kenyan leaders.

By sponsoring a Martin Luther King III Scholarship, you are not only investing in a learner’s education – you are becoming part of their legacy. Together, you will create lasting change for families, communities and beyond.
