Scholarship Fund
The Rwandan youth are at a crossroads. Their challenge is to avoid repeating the stories of the past and carry their country into a stable, peaceful and prosperous future. The kind of education they receive will determine whether they have the skills to transform this responsibility into reality.
Real change cannot happen without quality education being available to all. The Scholarship Fund ensures we can continue our commitment to supporting pupils from the poorest families; provide the resources and training required to support students with special educational needs; ensure that all staff are equipped with the skills to effectively support every student to succeed; and support APIE to share what we have learned for the benefit of all children in Rwanda, not just our students.
The Scholarship Fund covers:
Tuition Fees
Uniforms
Classroom materials
Learning Support
Your support means the best start for all students at the school to be able to contribute to forming a strong, stable and peaceful society for themselves and their communities. By donating to the scholarship fund you are providing the tools to enable students to choose and build their own future.
“My name is Pierre and I am 16 years old. I am in S3 and have been at Umubano Academy (UA) since the first year year in Nursery.
“At UA they provide enough content for lessons, they teach well, do things at the right time, I enjoy the way we have a main hall and we conduct assemblies while seated. I love the experiments we do from the laboratory. I like how we have organised co-curricular activities especially on Fridays.
“UA changed my life because I had opportunities to connect with students abroad and we could exchange ideas which made my learning easy. UA supported my learning and taught me things that will help me in life. I used to be scared to stand in front of people but from UA I learned to speak in public confidently. UA gave a scholarship for many years and I am very grateful”.
Emilie was a scholarship student at UA for a number of years. She left UA to continue her studies at S4 in Math, Chemistry and Biology (MCB).
“At UA I learned English which I am still using even in my studies and life in general, I learned a good discipline, how to conduct myself and it boosted my self-confidence and to stay committed in my learning and co-operating with others.”
“I miss UA a lot. I miss our class meetings with my teachers, the candidates trip we had to visiting the museum and assemblies. I also miss club time at UA.”
