Manager of the Scholarship Secretariat Dr. Shari Smith said despite the impact of COVID-19, the Education Council was still able to award educational scholarships for applicants to pursue overseas degree programs, with many commencing with an online format. She said,
“The Education Council has taken into account the impact COVID-19 has had on all of our students and continued to provide support not only through financial means but considerations of policies where needed.”
