SCHOLARSHIPS
We work to empower Bane youths and communities
The purpose of MK Foundation’s Scholarship is to harness the academic potentials of Bane youths and to encourage and recognize the youths in their pursuit of excellence. The Scholarship Program is intended to provide Youths in secondary school, university, and a vocational school from Bane Town with the financial support to sustain their education as well as reward achievement and effort, particularly talented young people experiencing financial barriers to education and skills development. The scholarships provide life-long opportunities for youths and a better-educated workforce for the community.
Each applicant must submit a completed application form. Forms must also be completed by the applicant’s school principal, if applicable. The applicants should be evaluated on objective standards such as past academic performance, performance on tests designed to measure ability and aptitude for higher education, the candidate’s class rank, and financial need. Recommendations from instructors or other persons unrelated to the candidate, extra-curricular activities, and leadership contributions should also be considered.
