Speaking at the event; Associate Director Registry; Ms. Beenzu Kapapa stated that Limkokwing is committed to increasing access to tertiary for the youth of this country and as a result the Founder President Tan Sri Limkokwing found it fitting to give out scholarships to selected groups of potential students who were unable to get government sponsorships. Limkokwing University has in past given scholarships worth millions to people living with disabilities, the creative industry and the media fraternity.
Limkokwing Finance manager, Ms. Lenah Kelepile added that the 50% scholarships as well as the flexible payment structure they have in place are the University’s efforts of encouraging Batswana and individual private sponsors to pay for the education of their children at tertiary level. She further highlighted that while the 50% scholarship will be given to first year qualifying students were unable to get government sponsorship and 30% discount will be given to all self-sponsored students who pay for annual tuition fees or full studies fees upfront.
