Quick bursary map

• This bursary supports eligible Eurasian school students: Confirm the student level.
• The form depends on family and school evidence: Prepare identity, enrolment, results, and income documents.
• Treat it as a complete file, not just a form: Add any existing financial-aid letters so reviewers see the full situation.

Concrete example: A Secondary 2 student should prepare a school enrolment letter or student card, the latest report card, household income proof, and any current subsidy letters before submission.
