EXSSA-USA 2021 Dreamers Scholarship Fund for Young Cameroon Women

Ex-Saker Students Association U.S.A (Ex-SSA, USA), is proud to announce the newly established Dreamers Scholarship Fund. 

This fund provides scholarships for academically qualified female students in primary school in Cameroon, with extreme and prolonged unusual financial challenges, who would otherwise not be able to afford a secondary school education, let alone a quality education program in a boarding secondary school like Saker Baptist College.

This is a limited opportunity that will only be available to three students this year but one that we hope to expand, with additional support from our community, in the coming years. While the underlying eligibility for this scholarship is extreme and prolonged unusual financial challenges, each year we may decide to focus on a specific disenfranchised group.

This year our target group is “Internally Displaced Persons” (IDPs). The successful students will be awarded full scholarships for seven years in Saker Baptist College, from form one to upper sixth. This scholarship also ensures that the successful students are catered for holistically to ensure continued success in the classroom.
