Scholarship
Hawkins Foundation
The Hawkins Scholarship recognises and supports young people who are growing academically, personally and interpersonally, and who are committed to leading and contributing to their communities.
About the scholarship
Not just a reward. A call to serve.
Our community is run by its students. Young people take on real roles in communications and marketing, project coordination, peer tutoring, administration, quality and publishing. They are trained and coached by the Active Skills team and our parent advisory board.
The programme follows the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach: every young person already holds talents, relationships and experiences that can be discovered and put to work. Starting from what is strong, they learn what leadership really asks: listening, deciding, taking responsibility and lifting others up.
