About the Urega Scholarship
Supporting Cameroon's brightest young minds to achieve their full potential
Who is a Urega Scholar?
A Urega Scholar is a high achieving low-income student, currently in high school in Cameroon, who is ambitious about their future, passionate about their education, and capable of thinking critically about the state of their community, country, and the world with maturity, humility, and empathy.
A Urega Scholar is also one who has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that extenuating life circumstances and obstacles have led them to yearn for solutions, a better education, high professional and personal goals, and remain determined to excel and complete their education.
Being a Urega Scholar is about creating ties that last beyond school days. As we look to build a community of champions, our hope is that as our scholars complete their education, they can look back and lift others as they rise.
