Sherryl Kintu Scholarship

The Sherryl Kintu Scholarship was created in honour of Sherryl Kintu, a valued member of the Global University Systems (GUS) community. Sherryl’s journey from Executive Assistant to Director was marked by her creativity, ambition, integrity, and deep passion for her work. She passed away in April 2021, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and inspiration.

This scholarship reflects the values Sherryl embodied and celebrates the impact she made. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate these same qualities in their own lives and academic pursuits.

Established in collaboration with Sherryl’s family and friends, and supported by the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Global University Systems, the scholarship’s purpose is to empower and support deserving individuals in a way that reflects Sherryl’s spirit and commitment to helping others succeed.
