Mitchell House awards ten learners with college scholarships for 2020

Mitchell House Headmaster Andrew Cook last Wednesday announced that Mitchell House has awarded 2020 College Scholarships, ranging from Major and Minor Academic Scholarship to Exhibition and Closed Scholarships, to ten learners in Grade 7. They will carry the scholarship throughout from 2020 to 2024.
Mitchell House Director of Marketing, Achsah Phoshoko said in a media release that the learners were selected on the basis of academic merit from their 2018 final Grade 6 results and they also sat for a scholarship examination in English and Mathematics. Sixty candidates were tested during May and 12 went through to the interview stage of the programme.
Laerskool Ivy Park learner Modjadji Mahapa, Pietersburg Comprehensive School learners Rifhuwo Mhlongo and Lehlogonolo Tjale and Pietersburg English Medium Primary School’s learner Nikiwe Nkonyani are among the successful contenders.
“The College Scholarship Programme has, from its inception, proven to be a great success giving many families an opportunity for their children to complete their college years at one of the top Independent, Co-ed English Schools in Limpopo,” Phoshoko said.
“We would like to thank our partner schools and parents for participating in the 2020 College Scholarship Programme. Grade 6 learners interested in the 2021 College Scholarship Programme may contact the school in the fourth term of 2019 and we will be visiting schools throughout Limpopo to encourage participation in January 2020,” the statement concludes.
