The Commission for University Education (CUE) was established in 2010 to accredit universities and regulate higher education quality. Licensing student recruitment agencies is a core function, aimed at protecting Kenyans from exploitation. As per the October 2025 report, CUE’s goals include:
- Streamlining Operations: Regulating local agencies marketing foreign institutions.
- Advertising Oversight: Controlling promotions, exhibitions, and direct recruitment by foreign entities in Kenya.
- Quality Assurance: Ensuring recruitment to only accredited foreign universities for recognized qualifications.
- Enforcement: Taking action against illegal operators, including fines and deregistration.
Licenses are renewed annually, with validity periods clearly stated. Agencies must submit proof of partnerships with verified institutions and adhere to ethical guidelines—no hidden fees, no false promises. To check status, visit CUE’s website and search the public registry.
In 2025, CUE processed over 100 applications, approving 55 valid licenses while flagging 32 for renewal delays or expirations. This rigorous process has boosted trust, with 80-90% visa success rates for CUE-accredited placements versus 50% for unlicensed ones.
How to Spot a Legitimate Agency
- CUE License Verification: Demand the license number and cross-check online.
- Transparent Fees: Expect KSh 20,000-50,000 for services; no “success fees” upfront.
- Institutional Partnerships: Agencies should list specific, accredited universities—not vague “networks.”
- Red Flags: Promises of 100% visa approval, pressure tactics, or lack of physical offices.
By choosing accredited agencies, students avoid the pitfalls of “diploma mills” and ensure their degrees are equated for Kenyan job markets.
Comprehensive List of Accredited Student Recruitment Agencies in Kenya (October 2025)
CUE’s October 2025 report categorizes agencies by status: Valid, Pending Renewal/Inspection, Expired, New Applications, and Closed. Below is a detailed table of valid accredited student recruitment agencies in Kenya, including contact details, locations, license expiry, and represented institutions.

How Accredited Agencies Facilitate Your Study Abroad Journey
Student recruitment agencies in Kenya offer end-to-end support, tailored to individual needs. Here’s a step-by-step look at their role:
- Initial Consultation (Free): Assess academic profile, interests, and budget. Keywords like “free study abroad counseling Kenya” lead many here.
- University Matching: Recommend from their licensed portfolio, e.g., Crizac-partnered schools for affordable options in Poland or India.
- Application Assistance: Prepare documents, SOPs, and transcripts. Success tip: Start 6-12 months early.
- Visa and Funding Support: Guide on F-1/J-1 visas (USA) or Tier 4 (UK), plus scholarships like Chevening or Fulbright.
- Pre-Departure Prep: Orientation on accommodation, health insurance, and cultural norms.
- Post-Arrival Aid: Airport pickups, settling in, and ongoing check-ins.
Cost Breakdown with Accredited Agencies
- Agency Fees: KSh 20,000-50,000 (one-time).
- Application Fees: KSh 5,000-20,000 per university.
- Visa Processing: KSh 10,000-30,000.
- Total Pre-Departure: KSh 50,000-100,000—far less than self-navigation mishaps.
Scholarships and Funding Options for Kenyan Students Abroad
Funding is a major barrier, but opportunities abound. Accredited agencies often specialize in these:
- Government Scholarships: Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) abroad loans up to KSh 2M; Ministry of Education partial funding.
- University-Specific: University of Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson (full ride for top students); Monash International Merit (AUD 10,000/year).
- Country Programs: UK’s Chevening (full funding for masters); Australia’s Endeavour Awards; Canada’s Vanier Scholarships.
- Private/Agency Aid: Crizac and ApplyBoard offer merit-based grants; MPOWER Financing for US/Canada loans without cosigners.
In 2025, over 2,000 Kenyan students secured scholarships via accredited channels. Tip: Agencies like Unicaf specialize in affordable online degrees with built-in aid.
Navigating Challenges: Visas, Culture Shock, and Return Migration
- Visa Hurdles: Rejection rates hover at 20-30%; agencies boost odds with mock interviews and document audits.
- Culture Shock: Pre-departure webinars on everything from UK weather to Canadian multiculturalism.
- Repatriation: CUE equates degrees for local jobs; programs like Kazi Mtaani incentivize return with startup grants.
The Future of Student Recruitment in Kenya
By 2030, CUE projects 25,000 annual outbound students, fueled by digital tools and bilateral ties. Agencies are evolving—think VR campus tours and AI chatbots. Yet, CUE warns of rising scams; always verify.
In conclusion, choosing a CUE-accredited student recruitment agency isn’t just smart—it’s essential. With the October 2025 list as your roadmap, embark on your global adventure confidently. For personalized advice, contact CUE at info@cue.or.ke or visit their Nairobi office.
