Newly arrived Senior 1 scholarship students at Isaac Newton High School
UHST Scholarship Programme
UHST seeks funds to provide scholarships to enable bright children from challenging backgrounds to attend Humanist High Schools as boarders. Boarding provides a supervised environment where children feel safe and can study, live and enjoy the company of others without the threat of harassment. This is important for orphaned boys and girls and for others whose home circumstances are far from ideal. £420 covers a year’s tuition, full board and lodging and other essentials. We also seek half scholarships of £210. These enable the cost of a child’s education to be shared between two supporters.
The home circumstances of some bright, needy children require them to sleep at home at night, often to care for younger siblings when there is no parent on hand. We welcome donations to provide such students with day scholarships at £240 a year.
As UHST sends scholarship payments to schools in monthly instalments it is very helpful if supporters would send their donations on a monthly basis. The monthly costs of scholarships are: £35 for full boarding, £17.50 for half scholarships, and £20 for day scholarships. When supporters find it more convenient to send a single annual payment, we apportion it on a monthly basis for transfer to schools.
UHST provides sponsors with the name and a photograph of the child they are supporting, some information about their family circumstances and annual updates on their progress.
UHST aims to secure support for scholarship students through 4 years of secondary education to O-Level in the Uganda Certificate in Education (UCE). Students who do well in these exams may be supported for a further 2 years to enable them to complete Uganda Advanced Certificate in Education (UACE), after which many will move on to college or university courses.
UK residents who wish to make regular scholarship payments may use the following: Supporter/Donation form or make a regular payment using your credit card via PayPal:

School-Based Scholarship Programmes
UHST is encouraging schools to develop their own scholarship programmes. This will help the schools to become more independent. The main difference from the UHST scheme is that scholarship funds are sent by the sponsor directly to the bank account of a chosen school. The school then awards the scholarship to a bright but needy child and sends information and a photograph to their sponsor. Some sponsors may like the fact that most schools are willing to facilitate communication and even the sending of small gifts between the sponsor and child.
