BAT gives university grants to ten students 

Navin Ramdoyal has received the best student award by British American Tobacco (BAT) . This prize rewards one of the BAT undergraduate students, who has not only successfully completed his/her studies at the University of Mauritius but has also been active in university life. Like Navin, ten other students were given the chance to pursue tertiary education this year.

The Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme is one item of a social programme launched by BAT to participate in the development of Mauritius. . . .
