Greensteds International School has been working with the Beacon Scholarship program for over 20 years, with many of our learners being scholarship beneficiaries. This academic year, we were privileged to secure a slot in the program, meaning we have one beneficiary who, with the guidance of her mentors in school, is working towards the development of her leadership skills. She is being nurtured to be a “change-maker.”

The scholarship identifies young people with leadership potential and financial need, provides them with access to the highest quality education, offers leadership training and “high-touch” mentoring, and creates a vertical pathway for the transition into leadership positions. The vision is to develop a group of ethical change-makers who have a multiplier effect to generate positive social change.

Those selected are usually all-rounders with the capacity to “take people with them” and are also ready to make a difference now.

The program enables them to access top schools and universities through scholarships using a stakeholder model: education costs are split 1/3 Beacon Partners; 1/3 Beacon; and 1/3 Parents, Sponsors, or Guardians. Each Scholar meets with their individual Mentor at least 4 times a year and reviews Performance Targets.

The program offers two leadership training sessions a year.
