This year, our Board is honored to introduce our $25,000 Matching Gift Challenge to establish a dedicated fund for Hungerford Scholarships, ensuring that the most promising and vulnerable S-1 students can attend John Paul Secondary School and thrive for all six years of their secondary education.

For every dollar given, your gift will be doubled—opening the door for bright young students whose futures depend on the opportunities JPSS provides.

If you’d like to support a student through individual sponsorship, please get in touch at info@johnpaulschool.com —we’d be happy to share more.

Why Hungerford Scholarships Matter

In the Pallisa District, less than 50% of primary students earn a PLE score high enough to continue to secondary school. For the students that do qualify, they are often significantly behind their peers from regions facing fewer economic challenges. The Hungerford Scholarship changes that story—offering more than tuition:

A safe boarding environment
Before- and after-class tutoring
Holiday learning programs
Mentorship from older Hungerford scholars
Consistent nutrition and stability
Spiritual formation and guidance

This program creates the conditions where potential can flourish. Read about Hungerford Scholar Musibikha Winnie and her success in the program.

The images from this year’s incoming S-1 Hungerford scholars reveal the joy and relief on the faces of students and their guardian and sponsors as they learn they’ve been accepted While they come from challenging circumstances, their commitment to succeed is clear. With your support, JPSS will be able to offer scholarships to next year's hopeful young students who will apply this coming February.
