Education is often seen as a transformative tool, empowering individuals to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society. However, the rising costs of education in certain regions have made it increasingly difficult for many talented and deserving students to pursue their academic dreams. The SRC Yi Bi Boa Scholarship Scheme aims to address this disparity by providing financial assistance to brilliant yet financially disadvantaged students.

By collaborating with the SFAO, the UGSRC is able to identify and support students who demonstrate exceptional academic potential but lack the means to fully fund their education. Through this scholarship scheme, the UGSRC reaffirms its commitment to promoting equity, justice, and equal access to quality education.
