“I congratulate all of you for the good performance and qualifying for this scholarship. However, this doesn’t guarantee you success at university, you have to work hard and ensure you successfully complete your education because poor grades or failure could lead to discontinuation,” he stated.

One of the student beneficiaries, Chemutai Sherine, said “I thank God and FAWE Uganda for this opportunity, without it I wouldn’t be here today, I now see my dreams coming true. I come from a family of 12 children and it has not been easy for my parents. I count myself lucky, because it was impossible for my parents to educate all of us,” she said.
