Celebrating Gilbert: ACT HONOR Scholar and National Merit Recipient
We’re thrilled to introduce Gilbert, one of our outstanding ACT Uganda HONOR Scholarship students!
Gilbert recently earned top academic scores, securing a prestigious National Merit Scholarship to Makerere University — Uganda’s top university — where he will pursue a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics.
Last month, Makerere released its list of students awarded National Merit admissions, and we are proud to share that two ACT HONOR scholars made the list: Gilbert and Daisy, both admitted into the same competitive science program.
Gilbert’s story is one of resilience, dedication, and the power of opportunity. We invite you to take just two minutes to watch this short interview with Gilbert and hear, in his own words, how he reached this incredible milestone:
We’re so proud of you, Gilbert — and grateful to our donors for making stories like his possible.
