The US-Uganda Orphans Education Fund (UUOEF) grants need-based scholarships available to award to academically qualified, financially needy orphaned student pursuing a high school education at a medium cost, high performing government accredited Secondary School.
Education provides hope and a brighter future for the young orphaned victims in a country that has suffered through devastating civil wars and a ravaging AIDS epidemic. Food and clothing may give the students life today, but an education gives them hope for tomorrow.
The US Uganda Orphan’s Education Fund (UUOEF) is a nonprofit tax-exempt 501c3 public charity that awards scholarships to pay school and boarding fees to deserving orphaned children.
These students will be the doctors, teachers, and leaders of tomorrow, instead of street children with lives cut short by poverty, AIDS, and violence.
The average Ugandan household has six children. While primary school is free for up to four children per household, parents need to pay for their kids to continue on to secondary school. Orphaned children rarely get the chance for secondary education.
We commit to funding scholarship recipients through completion of their secondary school education – the equivalency of high school. School fees are paid directly to participating schools after Board approval following receipt and review of the students’ previous term (trimester) academic transcripts.
UUOEF scholarship program intends to align its financial assistance awards with Uganda Government development objectives which aim to improve future economic and health living standards of all Ugandans by emphasizing studies in sciences, technology, agriculture, social sciences and mathematics. To support this objective, qualified applicants who show high potential of succeeding in the above identified areas of study receive top consideration.
