| description | This report presents the results of the formative (theory and outcome) evaluation of the Allan Gray Orbus Foundation (AGOF) scholarship programme. The programme offers scholarships to academically excellent grade 6 learners of 11 to 12 years of age, who demonstrate financial need and attain a minimum score of 70% in English and Mathematics and are from poor family backgrounds to attend secondary school.

The financial support covers tuition, boarding, allowances, uniforms, stationery and extracurricular expenses. Scholars receive academic support through tutoring and remedial lessons, particularly in mathematics, science, and English. Further, the students attend extracurricular activities that comprise of camps, breakthrough sessions and jamborees, gaining networking and entrepreneurial exposure.
