This endowment directly benefits 50 distinguished laureates following the Baccalauréat and GCE Advanced Level examinations for the 2026 academic year, thereby broadening the scope of beneficiaries compared to previous editions.
Under the leadership of General Director Patrick Benon, alongside representatives of the Baccalauréat Office and Anglophone authorities, this operation stood out for its graduated reward scale. Top performers in Francophone and Anglophone streams received individual scholarships of 2.5 million FCFA, while subsequent ranks received financial support ranging from 1.5 million down to 1 million FCFA.
In addition to these rewards aimed at alleviating university enrollment costs, all laureates were equipped with cutting-edge digital equipment and one year of unlimited Internet connectivity, enabling these brilliant profiles to meet the technological demands of higher education.
To carry this societal ambition, the operator successfully mobilized a consortium of eight major local companies, illustrating the private sector's involvement in promoting national human capital. As artificial intelligence and the digital revolution reshape the contours of tomorrow's jobs, this encouragement initiative aims to stimulate the creativity and agility of new high school graduates, in the image of the national top scorer Happy Kouamou Niels Claudy, called upon to embody the continent's technological future.
