NGCF continued to expand with more scholarships awarded at both schools each year. The first six scholars graduated from school in 2018. Four of these are now studying at university or polytechnic, as are the three students who left school in 2019. In 2020 the first two graduates from the girls’ school also secured places at university.
2020-22
The pandemic years were challenging both for NGCF scholars, who had to cope with the disruption of extended lockdowns, with no effective option for remote learning, and for NGCF, with our fundraising activities severely affected. For two years we were unable to offer any new scholarships. Fortunately, things started to pick up in 2022 when we again sponsored two children to start at each school, with a further two starting at each school in 2023.
2023-24
As of the school year 2023/4, NGCF is sponsoring a total of 22 students at the two schools, in years JSS1 (year 7) and JSS2, SS2 and SS3 (the final year). Of the 31 students who have already left school, 19 have so far gained admission to university or polytechnic and one is studying at a seminary. The others are mostly still going through the application process – sometimes for the second or third time, as it is fiercely competitive, but our scholars are determined and resilient. We look forward eagerly to congratulating our first university graduates.
