As schools across Uganda open their doors for the new term this week, MTN MoMo is offering parents a simple, secure, and cashless solution for paying school fees. Through partnerships with payment aggregators like School Pay, the “Pay School Fees and Win” campaign provides families with a convenient method to settle school fees while also offering them a chance to win scholarships and scholastic materials.

With the hustle and bustle that accompanies the start of a new school term, MTN MoMo’s service ensures that parents don’t have to wait in long bank queues or handle large sums of cash. By dialing 165*80# or using the MyMTN app, parents can make payments from home, even after regular banking hours.

As families face the financial pressures of the back-to-school season, MTN MoMo’s Pay School Fees and Win campaign is offering a lifeline. Every payment made through MTN MoMo enters parents into a draw for scholarships covering a full term’s fees, significantly easing the burden for many.

In addition, regional activations give parents the opportunity to win scholastic materials, helping to prepare their children for the term ahead. Nerima, a refugee farmer and winner of second-term fees, says the campaign has been life-changing for her family.
