Alumni Scholarship Programme
Sending the brightest students to school on the shoulders of alumni who came before.
About this project
The scholarship programme underwrites tuition, boarding, and books for high-performing SHESA-aligned students whose families cannot fully bear the cost. Awards range from partial to full, depending on need.
Selection is handled by the Programs Committee against strict academic and character criteria. The programme is fully anonymised — donors do not choose recipients, and recipients do not know their donors unless both parties opt in.
Since its formal launch in 2016, the programme has grown from 8 awards a year to 38 in 2024 — the largest cohort to date.
