A-Level Scholarships
Since Makomborero’s inception, we have awarded over 220 residential and non-residential A-Level Scholarships to gifted student 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. An illustration of the recruitment process and the challenges faced can be seen by clicking here.
We offer 8-10 students a residential scholarship, attending one of three private schools we partner with (St George’s, Gateway and Hellenic). The schools generously give us these places. We provide living costs and the other requirements for attending these schools. We offer a further 5-16 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 get international scholarships or attend local Zimbabwean

Makomborero also supports a number of A-level students who don’t qualify for the scholarship scheme (up to 16 per year), paying their school fees at local government schools, examination fees and providing them with textbooks.
