On the 1st day of February, 2023, the Students Financial Aid Office, headed by Ms. Selina Saaka Torrison in collaboration with the SRC, organised a Focus Group Discussion for beneficiaries of both SRC YI BI Boa Scholarship and UG Sponsorship for the 2022/2023 Academic Year. The Round Table Discussion saw a number of successful and unsuccessful applicants, and student leaders in attendance. The theme for the event was "How Can We Improve The Scholarship Application Processes". 

The inspiration for the theme was in relation to the numerous hazards students have gone through in their quest to apply for scholarships. Some brilliant but needy students all over the years are unable to complete their scholarship applications due to the lengthy requirements and the voluminous nature of the scholarship documents. Speaking during the discussion, Students pleaded that, the office made sure to omit certain requirements in order to allow genuine and more students to apply for scholarships smoothly and peacefully

Whereas successful applicants were happy and shown gratitude to the students' Representative Council and the University at large, the unsuccessful expressed great dissatisfaction and disappointments.

Your roommates have given you directions but you are standing in the middle of 3 buildings and
