  "summary": "The KPC Foundation, National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), KCB Foundation, and M-PESA Foundation have collaborated to streamline scholarship applications for learners with disabilities transitioning to Grade 10 in 2027. This joint initiative aims to simplify the process by introducing a coordinated recruitment framework, reducing paperwork, travel costs, and duplication. The partnership seeks to improve transparency in beneficiary selection, minimize administrative burdens, and make the transition to secondary education more accessible for learners with disabilities and their families. While the participating organisations will retain responsibility for selecting and enrolling beneficiaries, the initiative aims to pool resources and expertise during the application and assessment stages.",
