Mangalore, Mar 29: Scholarships were distributed to more than 500 students at the educational scholarship meet organized by the Beary’s Cultural Forum (BCF), Dubai, at Loyola Hall on Sunday March 29.
Yenapoya Abdulla Kunhi, chancellor, Yenepoya University, inaugurated the meet and said that the forum is doing a great job in helping students of the Beary community pursue their education.
Dr B K Yosuf, president of BCF, who presided over the function said, “The forum has been constituted to help the students who are in need of financial support. The idea behind the scholarship is to motivate the students to get further education and no one should be held back for a lack of financial support to pursue an education”.
Dr Kaup Mohammed, secretary, BCF, gave the keynote address and said, “The students have to get quality education and cent percent results. Recession in the world has increased the importance of hard work and eight hour shifts have become 12-hour shifts now. So, efficiency and knowledge only counts.”

The guest distributed scholarships to six of the 500 students during the event.
