Consistent Excellence Creates Opportunity.
An annual scholarship for Grade 10–12 learners who participate in TGN Education Mathematics Masterclasses. Every term you are scored out of 100 on academic performance, academic growth and Masterclass participation.
Submit my term detailsTwo separate leaderboards
Grade 12 learners are ranked on their own. A matriculant never competes against a Grade 10 or 11 learner, and never appears on the Purple Scholar Top 20 — matrics are ranked solely on the Purple Grade 12 Top 10.
Purple Scholar Top 20
- Grade 10 and Grade 11 learners only.
- Reviewed and republished at the end of every term.
- Builds a multi-year record ahead of the learner's matric year.
Purple Grade 12 Top 10
- Matriculants only — a dedicated final-year ranking.
- Same 100-point model; Mathematics is the tie-breaker.
- The annual Purple STEM Scholar matriculant is chosen from this Top 10.
The awarded matriculant receives the Undergraduate Resource Package plus their university registration fee.
The winning Grade 12 Purple STEM Scholar is supported into higher education: an Undergraduate Resource Package (study resources, devices and academic materials for first year) together with payment of their university registration fee.
How you are scored each term
Academic Performance · 40
Your overall academic average × 0.40. A minimum overall average of 65% is required.
Academic Growth · 25
Improvement on your previous average, scored on a banded scale from +15 points or more (25) down to 0.
Participation · 35
Qualifying Masterclasses attended ÷ available × 35. At least 3 Masterclasses per term are required.
Where learners finish on the same total, Mathematics decides: Mathematics mark first, then Mathematics growth, then participation, then overall average. Term 4 ties are resolved and recorded in the annual report.
