The Olive School – Namugongo offers a limited number of bursaries to support children from families who would not otherwise be able to afford private school tuition.

These awards are means-tested and are based on the family’s financial circumstances, number of dependents, and overall ability to contribute to school fees. Each case is reviewed carefully and confidentially by our Finance Committee.

Bursaries may cover a portion of tuition fees and are typically awarded for one academic year, with a review required for renewal.

To apply, parents must complete a bursary application form and provide proof of income, household expenses, and supporting documentation.

To request the bursary form, please email finance@theoliveschool.ac.ug.
