Impact

Support young people to remain engaged in education through learning assistance, mentorship, family participation, and scholarships where they are available.

Education is strengthened when learners can draw on practical support, trusted guidance, and encouragement beyond a single lesson. The Young Scholars Programme brings these forms of support together while recognizing young people as contributors to one another's learning.

Scholarships form part of the programme only where they are available. The programme's wider purpose is to help learners stay connected to education through assistance, mentorship, family engagement, and peer contribution.
