St. Mary’s College Mayenze, one of Uganda’s leading secondary schools, has launched a new bursary program aimed at expanding access to quality education for bright and talented learners. The initiative offers a 50% tuition fee reduction to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance or exceptional sporting ability.
The bursary targets pupils who attained aggregates between 4 and 14 in the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), giving high-achieving students an opportunity to pursue secondary education without being held back by financial challenges. The program is open to both O-Level and A-Level students, ensuring broad inclusion of ambitious learners across the country.
In addition to academic excellence, the school has extended the bursary to gifted athletes, recognizing the importance of sports in nurturing discipline, teamwork, and personal growth. Students who excel in football, netball, and leg ball are eligible, allowing them to develop their talents alongside their academic studies in a supportive environment.
The fee reductions are significant. Day students in Senior One to Senior Four will pay UGX 260,000, while Senior Five and Six day students will pay UGX 275,000. Boarding students across all levels will pay UGX 525,000, representing half of the standard tuition fees. This reduction makes high-quality education more affordable for many families.
St. Mary’s College Mayenze is widely known for its strong discipline, excellent academic performance, and commitment to shaping responsible, well-rounded individuals. Its curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, character formation, and practical life skills, preparing students for success beyond the classroom.
Through this bursary program, the school reaffirms its belief that excellence comes in many forms and that both academic and sporting talents deserve recognition and support. By easing financial pressure, the initiative empowers deserving students to focus on achieving their full potential.
