St. Mary’s College Mayenze has unveiled a major education support programme that could give many bright, talented and vulnerable learners a fresh opportunity to continue with their studies despite financial hardships at home.
Through the new bursary programme, deserving students can receive up to 50 percent reduction on school fees. The initiative targets learners who have shown outstanding academic potential, exceptional talent or those whose families are struggling to meet the cost of education.
The opportunity also extends to pupils completing primary school. Learners who score between aggregates 4 and 14 in the Primary Leaving Examinations can be considered for the bursary when applying for admission to St. Mary’s College Mayenze.
Parents who manage to clear their children’s school fees within the first two weeks of a new term will also benefit from a two percent discount. The school says the arrangement is intended to encourage early payment while easing the financial burden on participating families.
The institution is further rewarding academic excellence by offering students who score seven or more distinctions either UGX 50,000 in cash or partial sponsorship towards their school fees. The incentive is aimed at encouraging learners to maintain a strong commitment to their studies.
Special consideration has also been given to students who have lost parents. Learners who have lost their fathers qualify for a 50 percent fee reduction, while those who have lost their mothers are eligible for a 25 percent reduction under the support programme.
At St. Mary’s College Mayenze, education goes beyond classroom performance, with the school placing emphasis on discipline, character and spiritual development. Students participate in prayers, Holy Mass and Scripture Union activities while also being encouraged to develop their academic and other talents.
Parents and guardians seeking admission or more information about the bursaries and other fee support opportunities can contact St. Mary’s College Mayenze on 0782785625. The school says its goal is to give deserving learners an opportunity to study, develop their talents and build a brighter future regardless of their financial circumstances.
