In a bold move aimed at expanding access to quality education, St. Mary’s College Mayenze has announced a comprehensive scholarship initiative targeting talented and hardworking students across Uganda. The program is designed to support academically gifted learners and those with exceptional sporting abilities, particularly from financially challenged families.
Under the new arrangement, students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance or excel in sports will qualify for a 50 percent reduction in tuition fees. Learners who attain aggregates ranging from 4 to 14 in the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) will be among the beneficiaries, providing them with an opportunity to pursue quality secondary education at a significantly reduced cost.
The institution has also introduced an incentive aimed at encouraging timely payment of school fees. Parents and guardians who complete tuition payments within the first two weeks of a school term will receive a two percent discount, a strategy intended to ease financial planning while promoting responsible fee management.
As part of its commitment to providing a well-rounded educational experience, the school has incorporated educational excursions into its 2026 academic calendar. Students will have opportunities to visit important historical sites, national monuments, and Uganda’s Parliament, allowing them to gain practical insights into the nation’s history, governance, and development.
In recognition of academic excellence, the administration has established a reward system for top-performing students. Learners who achieve seven or more distinctions will receive either a cash award of UGX 50,000 or partial tuition sponsorships, a gesture aimed at motivating students to strive for exceptional results.
The scholarship package further extends support to vulnerable learners facing difficult family circumstances. Students who have lost their fathers will benefit from a 50 percent reduction in school fees, while those who have lost their mothers will receive a 25 percent discount, ensuring that financial hardships do not stand in the way of education.
Beyond classroom learning, St. Mary’s College Mayenze continues to place strong emphasis on character development and spiritual growth. Through daily prayers, Holy Mass celebrations, and Scripture Union fellowships, the school seeks to nurture disciplined, responsible, and morally upright individuals prepared to make positive contributions to society.
The institution also maintains a structured feeding program that provides balanced meals for boarding students, supporting their health and academic concentration. With its combination of scholarships, academic incentives, spiritual guidance, and practical learning opportunities, St. Mary’s College Mayenze remains committed to shaping confident, responsible, and future-ready leaders for Uganda. Parents and students interested in joining the school or learning more about the scholarship opportunities can contact the administration directly on +256 782 785625 for guidance and admissions inquiries.
