    Top aggregate in core subjects.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Ongoing support

    Bursaries, supplies and mentorship for each awardee.

Why girls?

Visible role models, real support

Cultural norms, early marriage pressures and few female role models hold girls back. These awards reward excellence at critical transition points in their education.
