The scholarship, which is granted for academic merit, highlights Singh’s scholastic achievements during a challenging educational transition marked by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Singh transferred to UKZN after initially studying at another higher education institution during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The transition to an online learning environment at UKZN prompted a reassessment of his academic path. Seeking a more connected and holistic university experience closer to home, he chose to continue his studies at UKZN.

He said after researching academic programmes on offer, his decision to join the university was an easy one.
