They are 2015 top 100 most influential students in Kenya. Last year, we had only 87 students nominated for the top100 list but this year the number of those nominated shot to 928. The list contains innovators, developers, young entrepreneurs, activists, and student leaders that in one way or another have created a positive impact to the student life.

When compiling the top 100 list we looked at several reckonable factors for each nominated student as mentioned below. While many may not always agree with the list, we can always accept any effort to help make it better come next year.

Criteria used in coming up with the list of top 100 most influential students in Kenya;

1. What is the social reach of the student?
2. Does the student have the power to influence students in and out of his or her environs?
3. Has this student made decisions and taken actions in the past that have created change within the student fraternity?
4. Has this student demonstrated the ability to influence student opinion within campus?
5. Has this student been responsible for creating programs, technologies, businesses, etc., that have led to changes in student life?
6. Has this student launched initiatives in the past that have been particularly impactful for the life of students and the public at large?
7. Does this student regularly capture the attention of student and other national decision-makers?

Above are just but some of the approaches used to select the top 100 most influential students in Kenya. Thanks to the 8 student judges from the Eastern, Western, Coastal, Nairobi and Northern regions of Kenya who assisted in compiling the list below.
