A-Level Scholarships
Since Makomborero’s inception, we have awarded over 220 residential and non-residential A-Level Scholarships to high achieving low income students in Zimbabwe.
A-Level Scholarship Programme
These students are selected from hundreds of applicants, following a rigorous academic and character-based selection process developed by Mark Albertyn. Students are selected from hundreds of applicants using a process developed by Mark Albertyn. The testing process involves rigorous academic tests, raw ability assessments, one on one interviews and takes into consideration each student’s personal background
We offer 8-10 students residential scholarships to attend one of five private schools that we partner with. Our partner schools are Gateway High, Hellenic Academy, St Georges College, St Johns College and Watershed College. They very generously give us places for our residential students. We provide living costs and the other requirements needed to attend these schools. We offer a further 6-8 Non-Residential Scholarships for students to study at local government schools. We pay for termly school fees, examination fees and other equipment including a pre-loaded tablet. For all our students, we run a Life Skills and a Mental Health programme. Our students achieve outstanding A-level results and many go on to either get international scholarships or receive a Makomborero University Grant to attend local Zimbabwean universities.
