In a ceremony held today at Obongi Town Primary School, Dr. George Didi Bhoka, the Member of Parliament for Obongi Constituency, awarded full tuition bursaries to 13 outstanding candidates who completed the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) last year.
This initiative is part of the MP’s campaign promise to support the top 60 students with full tuition bursaries throughout his term in office. With today’s awards, the total number of beneficiaries under the MP’s bursary scheme has risen to 85 students across secondary, tertiary, and university levels.
The Chairperson of the Bursary Committee, Mr. Sende, provided insight into the selection criteria, emphasizing that the bursary is open to all residents of Obongi who complete Primary 7 within the Obongi District.
“This bursary scheme is not affiliated with politics or religion; it is an open bursary for all Obongians,” he stated.
