The lecturer, Dr Stephen Moore, said he helped his TA secure a scholarship to further his education in the US.

In a post on X, he recounted that when they had completed everything, including the struggle of getting a visa, his student told him he might not be able to go because he could not afford to pay for the flight.

Dr Stephen Moore, who has a record of helping people who become his TA further their studies, financed the airfare for his TA.

The lecturer said his TA had completed his education and settled in the US.

Dr Moore shared this due to the revelation that the Scholarship Secretariat, which is supposed to help the brilliant but needy in society, is rather providing funds for those who can afford it and members of the governing political party.
