About this scholarship

This scholarship is for a social change program called Educate! Socially Responsible Leadership Course which was created by our partner Educate!.

Educate! has created a new model of education that channels the untapped potential of youth in Africa to become part of the solution. The curriculum is focused on the skills and experience students need to find solutions to problems in their communities.  The teachers are mentors who build powerful relationships that give youth confidence to lead change.  And the classroom is the community itself where the Educate! students start initiatives that solve the problems of poverty, disease, violence and environmental degradation.

Today, Educate! is working with 415 high-school aged youth across Uganda, and developing a model of education that can be applied across Africa.
