Harare (New Ziana) -Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe is this year providing scholarships for seven students at the Africa University, near the eastern border city of Mutare in Manicaland province.

The scholarships, which cover tuition fees and related expenses such as accommodation, meals, learning materials and other living expenses, cover the students for the full duration of their studies, which is four years.

One of the beneficiaries earned a place on the university’s Dean’s List for Academic Excellence in their first semester.

Last week the bank’s public sector head Sarah Charangwa presented the students with laptops and laptop bags, saying they should enable them to participate fully in online and blended education.

The students are the second group to receive scholarships from Stanbic Bank with the first group consisting of five students, who graduated last year with Bachelor’s degrees.

The scholarship program was launched in 2020 as a comprehensive four-year scholarship program, supporting the students for the full duration of their degree.

Stanbic Bank has had an enduring relationship with Africa University, reflecting its commitment to youth empowerment and sustainable community development.
