Lamtluang Online News, Aizawl, December 11, 2024: The Mizo Students Union (MSU) has expressed concern over the issues faced by students in availing scholarships due to the lack of cooperation from Institutional Nodal Officers in some schools.
Addressing a press conference at the Aizawl Press Club, MSU President B. Lalkhawngaihzuala stated that the students of Cherhlun HSS (Adhoc) who had applied for scholarships were unlikely to receive them this year due to the school's failure to verify their applications. The MSU president condemned the school's actions and expressed disappointment at the lack of responsibility shown by the school authorities.
The MSU president also mentioned that the teachers at Lungrang 'S' High School (Adhoc) had expressed their inability to assist students with scholarship applications, citing their lack of knowledge on the process. The MSU president expressed concern over the lack of commitment and dedication shown by some teachers towards their students.
The MSU clarified that scholarships are available for students in Classes IX and X under the Pre Matric Scholarship scheme, and for students in higher classes under the Post Matric Scholarship scheme. The union urged all eligible students to apply for the scholarships.
According to the MSU, the first and second installments of scholarships for the 2023-2024 academic year have already been disbursed, and the third installment is currently being processed. There are still 5,450 students awaiting their Post Matric scholarships and 1,155 students awaiting their Pre Matric scholarships.
