This scholarship is sponsored by a member of STAAR Leaders and is dedicated in memory of her mother Mookho Alice Lenkoane of Lesotho, Southern Africa – March 12, 1940 – March 9, 2004.

Mookho believed in nothing but education, she worked very hard to ensure that her children enrolled in good schools in order to stop the cycle of poverty.  She was a visionary, who always strived to accomplish everything that she was told was impossible to achieve. Her motto was: “how would you know if you never try”. 

Alice enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds and was an outstanding mother, sister, aunt and grandmother.  STAAR Leaders and the scholarship sponsor are proud to dedicate this award in Alice’s memory to help to keep her legacy alive.
