He said the screening of applicants would commence on June 15 while payment would begin immediately. Eight committees have been put in place to go round the country for the screening of students who applied for the scholarship.
He said only genuine students would benefit from the programme, assuring of transparency and justice for all applicants during the screening and payment.
