Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlighten Christian Gathering (ECG) Church has officially launched the student’s bursary scheme targeting 5 000 underprivileged Malawian students in the country’s secondary schools and universities.

Bushiri unveiled the bursary during a media briefing held on Monday in the capital Lilongwe.

According to Bushiri, the needy students will have to apply for the bursary by sending their applications to scholarship@psbministries.org

“They have to state why they want the bursary, confirmation of nationality and the amount of money needed. They also need to provide names and contacts of their parent or guardian and also names and contact of their headteacher or registrar of their institutions,” he said.

Bushiri also hinted that the bursary is only open to Malawians aged not more than 27 years.

After the application, the Shepherd Bushiri Foundation (SBF) team will release names of those that will further be authenticated to be considered for the bursary.
