"I’m honored to share that I’ve been recognized as the High Performing Student of the Semester by the Justina Mutale Foundation Scholarship Programme.

This award means more to me than a certificate. It represents months of early mornings, late nights, and choosing consistency over convenience. It’s a reminder that discipline and a willingness to keep learning compound over time.

I’m deeply grateful to the Justina Mutale Foundation for creating opportunities that empower young women to lead and excel. Thank you for the scholarship, mentorship, and belief in our potential.

To my family, mentors, and peers who supported me along the way, this win is ours. Your encouragement kept me going on the days I wanted to quit.

This recognition motivates me to keep raising the bar and using what I’m learning to create impact beyond the classroom. The work continues". - Alice Chipeta
