At Mudhiero Secondary, students apply for scholarships funded by the Sam & Hannah Obura Awards program. Each fall, instructors and foundation organizers facilitate the awards ceremony on school grounds.
Most often, students write letters of application to apply for the funds.
Applicants and nominees are selected by Mudhiero Secondary teachers to receive the funds.
Get to Know the selection process of the Awards
- Awards are generally selected through Augustana University’s Tri Beta Biology Honors Society
- Selection committee members will ensure awarded students display a strong work ethic and are “committed to serving their community through education.”
- Applicants are required to write a brief, one page essay describing how a library with internet access would impact their lives and the lives of their community members
