The Scholarship package, worth NLe16,995, covers primary and junior secondary school pupils with school and learning materials, as well as physical cash.
Speaking on the history of the Scholarship, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, Abubakarr Kargbo said this is the third time the Association has awarded scholarships to its members’ children. He said the number of beneficiaries has increased over the years, from three pupils initially to twelve pupils currently, adding that the scholarship is funded by individual financial contributions from the Association’s membership, both locally and internationally.
