Olympic marathon gold medalist Steven Kiprotitch is overjoyed after Makerere University offered him a scholarship to study any course of his choice for free at the prestigious university.
Makerere University last week honored Olympic marathon champion Steven Kiprotich.
During a council meeting at the university, vice chancellor professor John Dumba presented a cheque worth 2 million shillings to the athlete as well as scholarship for a degree.
Kiprotich says he is looking forward to studying at the university, but wished his wife could also be offered a scholarship to study with him.
Prof. Ddumba said the scholarship offer is only for Kiptotich but promised to present his (Kiprotitch’s) request to the university council to decide.
