Nova Pioneer recently congratulated three students who were chosen to participate in Yale Young Global Scholars Programme and spend two weeks at Yale University.
Yale Young Global Scholars is an academic enrichment and leadership programme that brings outstanding high school students from around the world to Yale University or Yale Center Beijing for intensive two-week sessions each summer.
With participants from 120+ countries across the world for the 2019 cohort, Kenya had a strong representation with a total of six students selected to join the program in July.
Nova Pioneer scooped half of those spots which saw three of our students spend two weeks at Yale University in July. Speaking to the elated students earlier, they took some time to share about their hopes for the impact the programme will have on them with warm words.

Post School Success Team
Today’s students have an exceptional array of options available to them after completing high school, but the path to post-secondary success is filled with uncertainty and challenges — both for young people and the adults who support them. Also, as the parent of a teen who is about to complete their secondary education, you may wonder what options your child will have after high school.
Our Post School Success team helps students looking into this path answer questions that they may have about the process, including how the application process works; what educational programmes are available and which may just right for them? The team supports students by alerting Nova Pioneer students to Open Applications and Open Days, as well as help them with their application process.
