On Tuesday 7th January 2020, Uganda Christian University (UCU) awarded ten students to appreciate their outstanding academic performance.
This award is called the Vice chancellor’s award and it is always given to bright students annually and it has been in existence for the last seven years.
The UCU Scholarships Committee came up with names of the 2019/2020 vice chancellor’s award where the number of female students doubles that of their male counterparts.
The awarded are Mugagga Leslie Lubowa, Namirimu Winnie, Nanziri Hajarah and Kanyansi Loy Mirembe from the Faculty of Business and Administration, Nankoma Gloria and Kiplangat Nathan Sikor from the Faculty of Education, Winner Meteta from the Faculty of Social Sciences, Mupuya Ronald from the Faculty of Science and Technology, Nakaziba Sandrah Hope from the School of Medicine and Abraham Mumbere from Faculty of Law.
Among these Mugagga Leslie Lubowa, Nankoma Gloria Loyce and Mupuya Ronald, each from; second, third and fourth years respectively were the overall best three students and received awards of full tuition for this semester while those in second and third positions will get 75% and 50% tuition contributions respectively.
Mr Walter Washika, the Manager Communication and Marketing, said this award stirs up competitiveness amongst students in academic excellence.
In his words, the UCU Vice chancellor, Rev. Canon Dr. John Senyonyi, challenged students to work harder so that they can also receive the award next year.
UCU motivates its students by awarding the best out of the whole community with the Annual Vice Chancellor’s Award. Students who win this award more than once are given special recognition at graduation.
In the past two years, the Faculty of Business and Administration has dominated the award.
