Deadline: 15-Jan-22
Applications are now open for the 2022 Girls Unstoppable Scholarship.
Girls Unstoppable Ug (GU) is based in Takajjunge, Mukono District, Uganda. GU works to transform the lives of marginalized adolescent girls by providing them with scholarships that support them to attain education, skills and knowledge.
Each year GU supports marginalized adolescent girls as they pursue their Secondary Education. The financial support is primarily to cover the cost of education itself in school fees (fully or partially) with or without other directly related expenses like books.
Scholarships are generally granted for the full period of secondary education; however, recipients must maintain good grades, participate in community service and meet GU deadlines for submitting an official copy of the termly report, and validation of community service hours. Therefore, the scholarship can be discontinued at any time in the event of unsatisfactory performance and/or dishonesty.
The scholarship awards are awarded once a year on Jan 20th following vetting of applications by volunteers and a home visit at which financial need is assessed using a poverty grading tool.

- Successfully completed primary education, with good to excellent grades
