A one-day workshop aimed at sensitizing senior six leavers on the application process for the government student loan scheme and Bugisu Cooperative Union (BCU) bursaries has been organized by Isaiah Sasaga Wanzira, the legislator for Budadiri East constituency.

 


The workshop, held at Sironko Parent’s Secondary School drew senior six leavers from districts across Bugisu Sub-region.

 

According to Sasaga, also the BCU Sironko Valley Zone Director said that many students from Bugisu are not aware of the application process for loan schemes and this prompted him to organize the workshop to provide guidance.

 

Sasaga says that students who studied sciences and are from Bugisu Sub-region must apply and compete with students from other parts of Uganda to be considered for the loan schemes. He also notes that BCU farmers are not aware that their children can access bursaries from BCU, a reason he organized the workshop to sensitize them on the process of application which is done through their primary societies.

 

John Khaukha, an academic from Livingstone University advised students to be cautious when selecting universities or other higher institutions of learning.
