Giving Digest | Backing Young Innovators: Stanbic Launches 11th National Schools Championship
By Kenneth Kazibwe | Tuesday, April 21, 2026
Stanbic Bank Uganda has launched the 11th edition of the National Schools Championship, framing it as a long-term investment in youth innovation, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. According to public reporting, this year’s edition runs under the theme “Powering Innovation for Job Creation” and is expected to bring together learners from around 200 schools, following nearly 1,000 applications. The championship goes beyond competition, with a structure that includes teacher training, student innovation toolkits, mentorship, and a residential boot camp. The official programme page also notes a UGX 100 million prize pool for top-performing schools, teachers, and alumni. In that sense, the initiative reads as a giving story shaped through skills, confidence, and practical preparation for young people expected to build jobs, not just search for them.
