Sherryl sadly passed away in April 2021. Sherryl was known as a trustworthy friend to individuals and the company, with a passion and drive for everything she did. Applicants to this scholarship are expected to reflect these qualities.  The aims and objectives of this scholarship are guided by the ideas and thoughts of Sherryl’s family and friends, and ultimately to drive the success of worthy individuals in the directions Sherryl would have wished. The Executive CEO and Founder of Global University Systems support the scholarships in recognition of Sherryl’s contribution.

Sherryl was passionate about the Entrepreneurial spirit of Black women and a highly creative person in the Arts. It is these areas of study and career progression that the scholarship supports. In assessing your application, the Sherryl Kintu Fund Board (SKFB) will look for a plausible successful outcome in line with the aims and objectives of the scholarship.

These scholarships aim to support young people in starting their dream careers, inspired by LUAP’s struggles. The pink bear motif comes from his childhood memories and represents his ‘safe space.’ Art and creativity were part of his healing process. The Pink Bear Pavilion, showcased at the altonale cultural fair in May and June 2024 in Hamburg, allowed visitors to walk into the head (or mind) of the Pink Bear and experience the art and design works of UE students and alumni. The Pink Bear symbolizes inclusion, tolerance, and diversity.
