Dallas Varsity in USA links up with UDS

Navrongo (UER), June 27, GNA - The University of Dallas in the US has offered an open scholarship for postgraduate students of the University of Development Studies (UDS) to undertake a Pro-MBA programme in Business.

Ms Pamela Ravaro-Jones, the Executive Director of International Programmes of the University of Dallas, said this when she met students of UDS at the Navrongo Campus during a one-day visit to the school. She said the scholarship programme was opened to students from all over the world.

Ms Ravaro-Jones said students of UDS who apply for the scholarship would not pay the 50-dollar registration fee that others have to pay but are expected to show a bank account of at least 8,000 dollars. She said there are special packages for those who could not afford but are hardworking.

The school and UDS have established a sister-school relationship. They plan to exchange lecturers and also encourage postgraduate students from UDS to pursue further studies in University of Dallas.
