Rwandan Post Secondary Program
Through generous donations from a group of supporters in North Vancouver, as well as continued support from sponsors, we have had bursaries available for students who have been sponsored through Kids For Kids to attend Post Secondary.
The goal has been to provide scholarships each year (renewable for all 4 years) to each for the top 5 K4K students in Form 6 who achieve the highest grades in the National exams and who go on to full-time study at university. The guidelines have been:
- student must not fail any courses
- must continue in full-time studies
- no restriction on Field of study
- Must be willing to 'pay it forward when finished and working - contributing to future scholarships.
Since this program was started September 2011, we have had 22 in the program:
3 dropped out of the program
7 graduated last year – 6 are presently looking for work and 1 is working teaching at a secondary school.
3 – awaiting graduation this month – looking for work
9 – studying still – 4 – in their last year / 5 with 2 years to go
2 – will be added to the list who are going into their 2nd year (to replace 2 that dropped out)
