Education Lifeline! St. Mary’s College Mayenze Slashes School Fees by 50% to Support Bright and Vulnerable Learners

St. Mary’s College Mayenze is giving hope to parents struggling to meet the rising cost of education by introducing a bursary programme that offers eligible learners up to 50 percent off school fees. The initiative is intended to ensure that financial difficulties at home do not prevent bright, talented and deserving children from pursuing their academic dreams.
Through the programme, students who demonstrate outstanding academic ability, possess exceptional talents or come from financially disadvantaged families can be considered for substantial fee reductions. The school aims to create opportunities for learners who have the determination to succeed but whose educational progress may be threatened by limited financial resources.
Primary school pupils preparing to join secondary school have also been considered under the initiative. Those who score between aggregates 4 and 14 in the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) can qualify for consideration for the bursary when seeking admission to St. Mary’s College Mayenze, giving high-performing candidates an opportunity to begin their secondary education with reduced financial pressure on their families.
In another move aimed at easing the cost of education, the school is offering parents and guardians a two percent discount if they pay their children’s school fees within the first two weeks of a new term. This arrangement rewards early payment while helping families manage their education expenses more effectively.
Academic excellence is also being recognised through additional incentives for outstanding performance. Students who obtain seven or more distinctions can receive UGX 50,000 in cash or partial sponsorship towards their school fees, providing extra motivation for learners to work hard and achieve excellent results.
The school has further extended support to children who have lost their parents, recognising the difficulties they may face in accessing education. Learners who have lost their fathers are eligible for a 50 percent reduction in school fees, while those who have lost their mothers qualify for a 25 percent reduction, offering meaningful relief to affected families and guardians.
Beyond the classroom, St. Mary’s College Mayenze places emphasis on building responsible, disciplined and morally upright students. Through prayers, Holy Mass and Scripture Union activities, the institution promotes spiritual growth alongside academic development, while encouraging learners to discover their talents and develop values that can guide them throughout life.
Parents and guardians seeking to enrol their children or learn more about the available bursaries and fee discounts can contact St. Mary’s College Mayenze on 0782785625. With these opportunities, the school is working to ensure that more learners can access education, strengthen their abilities and pursue a promising future regardless of the financial challenges facing their families.
