Historically, Formal Education onshore sponsored students have been required to attain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 1.5 to maintain their Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) Education scholarship. However, the failure rate and poor performance of beneficiaries across the board constitutes the basis for the decision to review and introduce this measure.

The Interim Administrator, Presidential Amnesty Programme has therefore approved a new minimum CGPA of 2.5. This will take effect from 1st September 2023 for the 2023/2024 academic session.

At the end of the 2023/2024 academic session, the results of all sponsored students will be analysed by the PAP Office. If any student’s CGPA is found to be below 2.5, his or her PAP scholarship will be withdrawn without any opportunity for reinstatement.

You are hereby notified for strict compliance going forward.

Mr Wilfred Musa

Head of Reintegration Department
