The Department of Anthropology initiated a novel program to financially assist its undergraduates with economical difficulties. Especially undergraduates whose families have confronted difficulties due to the prevailing COVID 19 situation of the country (that contacted our staff) were provided with short-term financial assistance.

Initially, 7 students that reported their difficulties, especially those that couldn’t afford internet facilities, were supported by this short-term scholarship program (June to August 2021) with the help of foreign academics through collaborative programmes.

The department is looking forward to establishing a long-term scholarship program for its undergraduates with support from external sources in the future that would be beneficial for the required undergraduates of the department.

As a department, we are looking forward to improving both the academic and social wellbeing of our undergraduates.
