In a presentation given yesterday at the Dar Al-Hekma College for girls urging students to apply for US universities early, Vice Consul Carrie Giardino said that officials at the embassy had been told by the ministry that names of students approved for 10,000 US scholarships announced months ago would be disclosed at the end of November. The ministry plans to announce the names in groups every two weeks.
