The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown has increased the necessity of good scholarships. Thousands of children have lost one or both parents during this tough time and many are being forced to give up education because of the lack of funds and a support system.
A decent scholarship programme can open up the future career path for students besides allowing them to study a certain course or programme with reduced fees. The economic assistance is of great help as many parents and individuals have lost their jobs during this time and do not have the means to support their own or their children’s higher education.
Check out these three scholarship programmes where you need to apply by mid-June 2021:
