As one of her many efforts to give back to society, Oprah Winfrey has made a promise to build an world-class academy specifically for girls in the nation of South Africa. With the cooperation of the late Nelson Mandela, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls was finally inaugurated in 2007 and is opened for girls who are from Grade 7 to Grade 12.<\/p>\n<p>Winfrey was inspired by her own past when opening this academy. Coming from an underprivileged background with a lack of educational opportunities due to financial difficulties, Winfrey was motivated to create an institution that is able to provide educational and leadership programmes towards gifted female students originating from impoverished communities. With this mission in mind, it is hoped that the academy is able to produce some of the world&#8217;s best leaders and scholars in the upcoming future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About OWLAG (Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls) Scholarships 2020-2021<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) are extending their arms to South African students with their highly beneficial scholarship programme.
