Career Officer Course Scholarship

Our Humanely Crafted Scholarship Program tries to balance the vulnerability with the merit. We are aware of the fact that designing a scholarship program that targets multiple groups and distributes fee reductions requires careful consideration to ensure fairness and effectiveness.

And we devised one.
