Mr. Walter Fredrick, a national service personnel at DoSA, spoke briefly about scholarship opportunities on Campus and also gave students valid reasons why mostly they don’t get these scholarships, mostly because their essays are AI-generated and also using unreachable contacts when filling out the forms.
