The higher education ministry opened scholarship opportunities for individuals interested in receiving bachelor’s degrees in biotechnology, computer application, business administration, tourism, English, and hotel management. Five scholarships will be awarded for each category and the chosen applicants will receive the opportunity to study at the Garden City University in Bangalore, India.

The higher education ministry will accept applicants who have passed a specific number of subjects in the GCEO O’level, IGCSE, and SCC examinations.
