who meet the requirements set out in the application.
“DASCI members and supporters are motivated and committed to continue helping students in
need” said Patricia David, President of DASCI.
Every year, the organization invites students from a select number of Primary Schools to apply.
Different schools are chosen each year so that, over time, all schools will have an opportunity
for their students to participate in the Scholarship Program.
