Scholarship Overview

The scholarship scheme has now been running in a major way for 11 years and we are seeing the fruits of our investment. Many of the University’s former scholars have contributed vastly to their countries and communities and of course we have enabled many to secure a future for themselves and their families, which would not have been possible without the opportunities given by the scholarship scheme.
