Pls, how soon will it be for the result/award to be out? Plus, how much is Post Graduate’s, and the duration of the scholarship?

Hello Adam,
There is no stipulated time for the result to be out.
Formerly, postgraduates received 180,000 but seeing that the bursary was increased to 250,000 for undergraduates, I suspect that postgraduates will receive 300-350 Thousand.
