FAWE Welcomes Student Loan Scheme

The Forum for African Women Educationalists in Uganda (FAWE) says the stiff competition in education has led to many students who obtain reasonably good marks failing to get admitted at university on Ugandan government sponsorship.

Speaking at the graduation of 27 girls who were sponsored by FAWE during their secondary school, the organisation’s coordinator, Martha Muhwezi, welcomed the proposed student's loan scheme, which she said is likely to help many needy students.

Muhwezi explained that FAWE has been implementing scholarship programmes funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), Irish Aid, the Canadian Kenny Family and Busitema University Mvule Trust since 1999.
