Sean, who presented letters and cheque to the beneficiaries, said the scholarship would support them to complete their education and contribute to national and international development.

He said the partial scholarship is also meant to promote health sciences, local businesses and innovations.

Earlier this year, the university announced 100 half – tuition scholarships to new students under the School of Business and Applied Technology (SOBAT) and today, a cheque of Shs60 millions was presented to the admitted students courtesy of the Clarke Group. Also, Rose’s Journey Scholarships Fund presented a cheque of $15,000 (app. Shs54m) to benefit 14 students who were awarded scholarships by this organization. The awarding ceremony was held today at CIU main campus in Muyenga Kampala.

Assoc. Prof Rose Nanyonga Clarke, the university Vice Chancellor who also doubles as the Executive Director of Rose’s Journey disclosed that 30 percent of the students who enter university are unable to graduate. She attributed this to poverty and lack of the ability to pay the required tuition which her foundation seeks to address.

“It’s important that as able Ugandans we stand in that gap, use and leverage on our experience and capacity to enable other students pursue higher education,” she said.
