The Scholarship

Makomborero seeks to identify suitable candidates capable

of university entrance to some of the more competitive

degree courses. In 2014 we will be offering up to eight full

scholarships to study A-levels at an excellent Harare based

private school and thus provide the chosen students with the

resources to achieve their goals where they may have fallen

short through financial hardship and/or not having access to

well-resourced A-level facilities in their current schools. As part

of the scholarship scheme the students will be expected to

assist with the on going community work in local Government

schools.

The scholarship will include:

“When I leave

school I want to be a ……………….”

Scholarship Eligibilty

o The scholarship scheme is designed to recruit the most able O-Level student. Potential

candidates must either already have attained (or be predicted) a number of A grades at

O-level.

o The final selection process will be completed during January 2014 and is likely to be before

the actual O-level results have been published.

o It is expected that scholarships will mainly be awarded to students looking to study

Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology) or Commercials (Mathematics,

Accounts, Economics and Management of Business).

o From time to time, the selection committee may decide to award a number of scholarships

that fall outside of the strict academic requirements.

o Makomborero welcomes any application from government school students that feel

he/she can clearly demonstrate the passion and potential to achieve top grades in their

chosen A-level subjects.

Selection Process

o All applications must be received by the date stated on the application forms. (November)

o Each application will be carefully considered and an initial shortlist drawn up. (December)

o Shortlisted candidates will be called in for an interview and scholarship testing. (December)

o The final selection process will be completed before the O-level results for the previous

academic year have been published, but in some cases we may wait for the results before

informing the students who have been awarded scholarships.

Please leave either your completed application form with your Headteacher or send a text
