In a statement, AAPSU President Hawa Bagang and General Secretary Tobom Dai said the union’s team was told that the department concerned would release the scholarship by July-end. The officials said the disbursement process was getting delayed due to technical problems as the list of 13,000 applicants registered had to be verified by the IT department for checking duplication.
The applicants have to fill up their respective forms online through the National Scholarship Portal from the next academic session.
Seeking patience from the students, the AAPSU said it will not remain silent if the scholarship is not disbursed within July 30.
