GREENVILLE, SINOE COUNTY — The Office of Sinoe County Senator Cllr. Augustine S. Chea has commenced disbursement under its scholarship program for the 2026 academic year, with 733 students across 13 educational institutions set to benefit from a total allocation of L$3.2 million.
The initial disbursement began on Monday, November 9, in Greenville and Butaw School Districts, with the process expected to continue throughout the week.
The allocation reflects an increase of L$200,000 from the previous academic year’s L$3 million, following adjustments to tuition rates at private schools and changes in school fees resulting from the promotion of returning beneficiaries to higher classes.
According to the Senator’s Office, the additional funding is intended to address increased tuition costs and ensure that the scholarship program meets the financial requirements of beneficiaries for the current academic year.
The payment arrangement has been divided into two categories to accommodate students enrolled in both private and public institutions.
For private institutions, including Sinoe Community College, the scholarship payments will be made directly to the respective schools through cheques. Students who made initial tuition payments before their selection into the program are expected to receive refunds through their school administrations.
For public school beneficiaries, the Office will cover outstanding school fees, while students who have already paid or made partial payments will receive reimbursements.
The process involving public school beneficiaries is being coordinated by the Senator’s Office in collaboration with the Sinoe Youth Association, student council governments, and the administrations of the participating institutions.
The Office further assured parents who personally paid eligible tuition and school fees on behalf of their children that the applicable refunds would be facilitated through the beneficiaries.
