CFK Africa James E. Rogers Scholarship Fund

Established in memory of the late Jim Rogers, the James E. Rogers Scholarship Fund supports promising young students throughout all four years of high school, providing sustainable funding that allows students living in challenging environments to focus on their coursework and access leadership training, mentorship, and career guidance through CFK Africa. After the first cohort graduates, the scholarships will roll over to new students, continuing the cycle in perpetuity.

A sustainability champion and former CEO and Chairman of Duke Energy, Jim was committed to improving lives around the world and often asserted that access to electricity should be a basic human right. The James E. Rogers Scholarship Fund will help equip new generations of young leaders in Kenya with the skills and opportunities needed to transform lives within their communities.
