On 15th May 2024, Pharm-Biotechnology and Traditional Medicine Centre (PHARMBIOTRAC) and its
sustainability arm, Friends of PHARMBIOTRAC Foundation (FPF) in Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) held the first ever Scholarship Information session under the theme “Studying for
free on Full Scholarship.” This session was open to all final year students and early career staff of MUST.
The highly interactive session hosted at the Pharmacology Lecture Theatre located at MUST -Town Campus brought together a diverse staff, MUST alumni and students.
40 MUST staff and 300 postgraduate and undergraduate students in their final year attended.
The session was officially opened and graced by MUST Academic registrar, Dr. Martha Kyoshaba Twinamatsiko and in her opening remarks, she commended PHARMBIOTRAC and FPF leadership for organizing the Scholarship Information Session. She was so mesmerized to see students and staff turn
up in large numbers for that wonderful event. She encouraged the PHARMBIOTRAC team to continue with the good spirit of organizing such rare innovations in MUST so that the University continues in its
path of success which is a must at MUST.
She expressed gratitude to Prof. Robert Tamukong for his enthusiastic and golden heart to serve the academic niche voluntarily which has sown a spirit of voluntarism in MUST, Uganda and the world at large.
At the end of the session the attendees were guided on how to search, apply and meet the required qualities for one to attain a full free scholarship abroad.
