SOUTH SUDAN
I will make of you a great nation,
and I will bless you,
and make your name great,
so that you will be a blessing.
Genesis 12:2 (NRSV)
MAKING THE FOUNDATION OF A NATION
South Sudan is the newest country in the world becoming independent from Sudan on 9th July 2011 following Africa’s longest civil war commencing in 1956 when Sudan achieved independence. Unfortunately, independence did not bring conflict in South Sudan to an end. When South Sudan became independent, Salva Kiir Mayardit was elected president of the new state. Just two years later, however, the country was engulfed by civil war when Mr Kiir sacked his entire cabinet and accused Vice-President Riek Machar of instigating a failed coup. This civil war has resulted in the destruction of much of the infrastructure of South Sudan including schools, colleges and universities, hospitals and health clinics. There is much poverty amongst the general population due to a high level of unemployment.
You can be a part of providing the foundation of a real nation.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS
Foundation South Sudan is an incorporated, registered charity to provide university scholarships for young men and women of financial hardship in South Sudan so they can be the skilled leadership to build a foundation for our global community's newest country, South Sudan.
These scholarships may be in neighbouring countries such as Uganda and Kenya. The intention is that they will return to South Sudan with the qualifications to be the leaders in establishing a strong and healthy nation.

APPLICATION
Applying for a Scholarship
It is impossible to provide sponsorship for all those who are in financial need. The aims of Foundation South Sudan Incorporated are to provide resources for those who can become the leaders of South Sudan for the building of the country. Therefore, we intend to prioritise financial assistance to candidates for engineering, civic planning, health, teaching, business, economics, political sciences, etc, according to needs within South Sudan.
Candidates must declare:
-
I am a South Sudanese national.
-
I do not have a resettlement visa application in progress, or have been offered a resettlement visa, for Australia, Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, or any other country.
-
I am unable to personally provide finances for a university education, do not receive financial resources from any other person, and do not receive financial support from any other organisation.

-
I will be financially and academically accountable to Foundation South Sudan in order to receive financial assistance for my university education.
