Scholarships

I would applaud the Madhvani Foundation for the charitable work of sponsoring Ugandans.

Other rich companies should emulate Madhavani. However, the Madhvani Scholarship Scheme has some shortcomings. First, it is not fair to withdraw scholarships from those who get retakes.

Withdrawing the scholarship from a student who gets even a single retake is not fair. Secondly, the scholarship should be extended to students who have not yet joined university but intend to.

There are many poor students, especially upcountry who cannot sponsor themselves.
