Scholarships at Makerere University in Uganda

The Makerere University Female Scholarship Foundation (FSF) was launched in November 2010 as a continuation of the Makerere University
Female Scholarship Initiative (FSI). With $4 million support from Carnegie Corporation of New York, FSI funded 691 girls from poor
socio-economic background to access university education from 2001-2010. Makerere University realized the need for a scholarship
foundation in order to support more female students who would otherwise drop out of school after secondary school level.
The goal of FSF : “To increase the enrolment, retention and improve the academic performance of female under graduate students at
Makerere University with specific emphasis on sciences and giving priority to applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds and
under-represented geographical areas in Uganda”.
FSF is pleased to announce opportunity for undergraduate scholarships for 2012/2013 Academic Year.
