Divine Word University Morobe students 2016

Apparently, the university had asked students under the provincial government scholarship schemes to withdraw from school due to non-funding.

Following a meeting between the school administration and student leaders last week, the university had extended the due date, giving students until 4:06pm yesterday July 29, 2016 to complete semester registrations.

Jason Imbong, president of the Morobe Students Association, said the Morobe Provincial Government on Tuesday this week, gave a K169, 750 cheque, and second payment to the association.

A student leader told Loop PNG that the school administration this morning advised those students who are under provincial government scholarships, that funds from the government will not be going through.

As a result, a total of 37 male and 13 female students who depend on the Morobe Provincial Government scholarship have been advised to withdraw.

The students were told – through a guarantee letter– that the assistance will not eventuate due to fund shortages brought on by the economic situation.
