# Rhodes University recently launched the 120th Anniversary Merit Scholarship, a prestigious new award aimed at recognising and empowering top-performing learners from the Makana Municipality. The scholarship has been established through a joint agreement between Rhodes University and leading Makhanda independent schools: Diocesan School for Girls, St Andrew’s College, and Kingswood College. The Scholarship covers full tuition and residence fees, along with a book and living allowance annually. It will be renewable each year based on academic performance and active participation in community engagement initiatives at the university.
