I don’t know how they tracked me down but I’ve recently started receiving emails and phone calls from young women inquiring about the Akilah admissions process. This began before we launched our new website or had circulated any information about the 2010 classes in Kigali. But the word has gotten out.
Through their emails, text messages and phone calls these young women asked how they could apply and even rattled off their educational history, accomplishments, and why they should be accepted to Akilah. They passionately explain how they want to continue their studies but they simply cannot afford to go to university. One young woman told me that she cannot afford to pay any school fees but that she would be willing to stay late at night and help with the cleaning if we could provide her with a scholarship.
I can’t wait until we finalize our admissions process and can start accepting students! All of the details will soon be posted in our Admissions section.
