We currently have 20 students looking for sponsors. Below is their information, photos, and the cost of their education. Our goal is to match sponsors who are interested in helping these students from primary through secondary school. If you are interested in supporting the program, but are unable to commit to long-term sponsorship, you can donate to the scholarship program as a one-time gift or recurring donation without a designated student. This will allow us to cover costs for any students who might still lack funds. We will conduct evaluations each term to ensure we have accurate tuition information.
To sponsor a student, please email us on the Contact Us page, and please write your top three choices to sponsor. We will notify you once you have matched with a student. You can then set up a payment plan that works best for you to support the student for the year.
*Note: School Grades in Uganda are as follows: Primary School (P1-P7), and Secondary School (S1-S6). There are 3 terms per year.
