Africa-Press – Gambia. As part of our unwavering commitment to education and youth empowerment in the West Coast Region, we are proud to announce that the Brikama Area Council, under my leadership, has allocated over D8 million in the 2025 budget for student scholarships.
This marks a significant step forward in our efforts to support hardworking and deserving students, regardless of background or institution. In 2024, over 300 students from both English and Arabic learning institutions received full scholarship packages through this initiative.
With the 2025 allocation, we aim to expand this impact by welcoming new applicants while continuing to support returning beneficiaries until they complete their programs.
From 2024 to date, more than 600 students across the region are expected to benefit from these opportunities. We believe that by investing in education, we are investing in the future of our region and empowering the next generation to rise and thrive.
Let us keep pushing forward together.
