The Public Service Commission will be providing 480 additional scholarships to students.

These will be offered to students of USP, Fiji National University, Sangam School of Nursing, University of Fiji, and Fulton College for the second half of the academic year.

PSC Permanent Secretary Parmesh Chand says the additional scholarships have been possible after savings was identified following the commitments of the first six months.

As part of their scholarship entitlements, the PSC will be providing the tuition, book allowance and pocket allowance.
