Why we need Bursaries
Today, the costs required to ensure a good quality education are extremely high. Post Graduate students are under immense pressure as most often they have to foot their expenses themselves. Bursaries are the much needed financial avenues today to ease the pressure on these students. It positions them and gives them a better footing in the pursuit of their education.
