University scholarships worth about Shs 500 million are now on offer by Madhvani Foundation. Announced by the Scholarship Committee Chairman, Henry Kyemba at Kampala Serena Hotel on May 4, the closing date for applications is May 31.
Kyemba said the foundation is looking for talented Ugandan students, both undergraduates and post graduates, of sound character who have difficulties paying for their university education.
