    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members will remember that they asked for a list of students who received scholarships sometimes back – about two years ago. The Minister brought a list of local scholarships. Since then, there has been a change of policy in the Ministry and, in fact, when I went to the docket, local scholarships will be launched under the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). So, currently, all the scholarships at the local level have been offloaded and the money transferred to HELB. It actually arose from questions that came from this House on transparency and the criteria used to give scholarships. So, all the money has been transferred to HELB and we are not offering local scholarships. Rather, we are giving loans through HELB, which is accessible to all students. We think that, that was a very brilliant idea because any student who has scored C+ and above can access a loan. The criteria of how you get it has changed completely. So, that is exactly what has changed."
