Sponsor
Sponsorship opens a world full of possibilities
When you sponsor a scholarship, you provide a student with educational materials, school and boarding uniforms, hot nutritious meals and a safe, clean living environment with reliable electricity and water – everything required for a successful education!
You can help break the cycle of poverty for a St Jude’s student and their family through the gift of a high quality education!
Your gift helps our deserving students reach the great height of their potential by providing a free, high-quality education, daily hot meals and much, much more.
Every donation enables The School of St Jude to continue our mission of fighting poverty through education.
Our life-changing Beyond St Jude’s (BSJ) Program supports graduates to continue on their transformative path, so they can attain their first higher education qualification. A BSJ scholarship covers their tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses, study materials and costs for examinations.
Tertiary Program
Through the Tertiary Program, Form 6 graduates (A Level) are supported in their first higher education qualification; whether that be a degree, diploma or certificate course. In a country where just 3.1% of tertiary-aged people are enrolled in higher education, our scholars receive a truly life-changing opportunity.
There are currently 292 BSJ Tertiary scholars enrolled at 43 institutions across Tanzania, studying a wide range of degrees including medicine, engineering, business, IT, marketing and more.
This year, 86 scholars are expected to graduate, of which one third are
medical professionals, including eight doctors. To date, we has
supported 55 scholars to graduate from university through our Tertiary
Program.

College Program
Our College Program is for Form 4 (O Level) graduates who have opted to participate in the Alternative Pathways Program (APP), allowing them to pursue a diploma or certificate at college, in place of the traditional St Jude’s A Level pathway through secondary.
We have carefully selected education institutions and courses within Tanzania that will provide quality education for our BSJ College scholars, ensuring that support for their education continues to have maximum impact.
Fields of study available to BSJ College scholars include agriculture, engineering, IT, nursing, allied health, and hospitality. These are areas of need within the Tanzanian labour market with high rates of employability within these areas.
