Ntare school offers scholarships

KIGALI - Ntare School, one of Uganda’s oldest schools has offered fifteen scholarships to Rwandan students.Ten scholarships will be open for senior one entry while five will be reserved for A-level students who meet the admission requirements of the school. The development was revealed at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Ntare School Old Boys Association (NSOBA) held recently in Kigali. The association’s Rwanda chapter is represented by four former students of the school. During a previous meeting that was held in Mbarara in April 2009, it was decided to alternate these meetings between Rwanda and Uganda. Prominent among the former students of the school is President Paul Kagame and other top government officials. The meeting in Kigali recommended that Charles Gahima, Chairman of the NSOBA Rwanda Chapter, becomes a member of the school’s Board of Governors. Members of NSOBA Executive Committee paid a courtesy call on President Kagame, who was briefed on the status and projects of the association and the current state of the school. The President offered to support the association, but encouraged members to work harder. He encouraged all Old Boys to take advantage of this unique historical link to engage in joint developmental and investment ventures that would contribute to the promotion of education and the advancement of the region.
