Makomborero A-Level Scholarships has now closed for this year.

The Makomborero A-Level Scholarships

Makomborero Zimbabwe seeks to identify suitable candidates capable of A-Level entrance. In 2023 we will be offering up to ten full internal scholarships to study A-levels at an excellent private school in Harare and 16 external scholarships at local A-Level schools and thus provide the chosen students with the resources to achieve their goals where they may have fallen short through financial hardship and/or not having access to well-resourced A-level facilities in their current schools. As part of the scholarship scheme the students will be expected to assist with the on-going community work in local Government schools.

Schools offering scholarships are Hellenic Academy, St George’s College and Gateway High School.

The Internal Scholarship will include:

• Weekly accommodation, meals and mentorship
• Examination fees
• School uniform requirements
• All tuition fees and stationery

 

The External Scholarship will include:

• Mentorship
• Examination fees
• Contribution to School uniform costs
• All tuition fees and stationery

Scholarship Eligibility

• The scholarship scheme is designed to recruit the most able O-Level student. Potential candidates must either already have attained or be predicted a number of A grades at O-level.
• The final selection process will be completed by January 2023 and will be before the actual O-level results have been published.
• From time to time, the selection committee may decide to award a number of scholarships that fall outside of the strict academic requirements.
• Makomborero welcomes any application from government school students that feel he/she can clearly demonstrate the passion and potential to achieve top grades in their chosen A-level subjects.

Selection Process

• All applications must be received by the date stated on the application forms. (October)
• Each application will be carefully considered and an initial shortlist drawn up. (November)
• Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview and scholarship testing. (December and January)
• The final selection process will be completed before the O-level results have been published, but in some cases we may wait for the results before informing the students who have been awarded scholarships.
