It added: “PAP wishes to inform delegates, stakeholders and the public that the application portal for scholarship for the 2020/2021 academic session has closed.

“The office is in the process of screening applications that were successfully submitted. In the event of a need to re-open the scholarship application portal, it will be announced via the appropriate channels.

“Successful candidates, who meet the scholarship criteria and pass the screening stage, will be contacted through the details they provided in their submissions.”
