ISM's first five scholarship students
Our aim is to
Only 5% of Tanzanian teenagers regularly attend secondary school and the need for educated, capable and committed professionals to manage the country's development is becoming overwhelming. ISM is working to meet this need by carefully selecting bright, enthusiastic and compassionate students, and by giving them the opportunity to develop their academic potential, global perspective and sense of personal direction. After completing their studies, they will then be suitably equipped for the global leadership role that their country needs them to play, so that Tanzania can develop for the improvement of all of its citizens.
The Scholarship Programme in Action
The ISM Scholarship Student Programme began in August 2002. Since then, twelve scholarship students have graduated from ISM with a world-renowned International Baccalaureate Diploma since 2004 and are studying at universities including Harvard, Duke, Amherst and British Columbia, on full scholarships. We currently have four scholarship students in school; they too are working hard to fulfill their dream of high academic achievement. Two new scholarship students were selected to join the school in August 2009 and we expect two further students to join in August 2010.Donating from the USA: please donate to The ISM 501-C3 Foundation No; 11-3792811

"By donating to the ISM Scholarship Programme, you are not just helping an individual student to enjoy a high quality education; you are playing an active role in the eradication of poverty in Tanzania and Africa."
Boniventura Mwapule - 2004 ISM Graduate, now graduated in Economics from Duke University having received a full scholarship.
