The amount will be used to support the ULSU’s scholarship scheme and financial aid for students for the first semester of academic year 2017/2018. Del Francis Wreh, Executive Director of LIMPAC, said the contribution will provide relief to hundreds of students at the state-run university who risked being dropped from the university due to financial constraint. Director Wreh explained that Minister Kamara’s intervention was based on a request by the leadership of ULSU to the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning. He said Minister Kamara, who is also chairperson of the Board of Management of LIMPAC, saw it prudent to support the students’ scholarship fund drive. He commended student Martin Kollie of the press and propaganda bureau of SUP and the entire leadership of the students for being instrumental in advocating for support to the ULSU Scholarship and Financial Aid Program.
