He added, “Education is the key to success, and we believe with education, you will be able to improve the quality of life of yourself and the people around you.”
“This year, we will support 10 students and will be spending approximately BND22,000 in tuition fees which will allow the students to continue their studies without any financial worries,” Chung stressed.
To the bursary recipients, Chung said, “I hope you will continue your studies and work hard for your future, as you will be the future leaders.” The president also revealed that the bursary will be obtained through the club’s charity golf event on April 19.
He said, “We hope members of the public will support the golf event for education.”
