Member for Yangoru-Saussia and Minister for International Trade and Investment Richard Maru announced today that applications for all Yangoru-Saussia students who want to benefit from the district School Fee Subsidy Scheme will must apply now as the scheme will close on February 15, 2025.
Mr. Maru said all qualified applicants must ensure all their forms are filled out and signed by their respective LLG Presidents and delivered to his district office by February 15, 2025.
“This applies to students who are accepted to tertiary institutions in Papua New Guinea and to India.”
“For India, we are paying the full school fees for the students who are accepted into Indian Universities.”
He said the Yangoru-Saussia District development Authority is expected to invest up to K1 million to support their students with the school fee subsidy in the 2025 Academic year.
Mr Maru added that the school fee subsidy scheme will continue this year, and each student must not use ghost names but their true names because we will only assist those that apply on time and meet all requirements.
“You must provide your academic acceptance letter, and all other requirements must be met for your application to be checked and if we are satisfied, we will pay straight to the universities and colleges where you as a student are going too.”
