Imagine Scholar generated partnerships with local business, community leaders, educational institutions, and service organizations. This has allowed imagine scholar to create experiential learning opportunities for students who otherwise would not have them. For example, two students were selected as the first from their region to participate in the South African junior chess championships; students were accepted to universities across south Africa; students were accepted to the African leadership academy; students received other various merit awards and acceptance to cultural exchanges and other higher education programs world wide.
