Thanks to the SRC's Life Insurance Policy, these students will have their tuition fees and allowances completely covered, easing the financial strain that could otherwise impede their academic progress.

Under Norman’s leadership, the SRC has continuously shown its commitment to ensuring that no student is left behind because of financial difficulties. By covering the costs of education for these students, the SRC not only offers relief to those struggling financially but also creates an environment that encourages academic success.

One beneficiary, a second-year student from the Faculty of Education, shared how the initiative had alleviated a huge financial burden on her family. "I was about to defer my studies because my parents couldn’t afford my fees. This intervention is a lifesaver, and I’m so thankful to the SRC for this incredible support," she said.

In addition to financial support, the Norman-led SRC has launched several initiatives aimed at enhancing student well-being, such as academic support programs, mental health awareness campaigns, and advocacy for improved student services across the university.

While the SRC has taken significant steps to help students, it has also called on other stakeholders, including the university administration, alumni, and corporate organizations, to join forces with them in sustaining these initiatives. The aim is to provide assistance to even more students struggling with financial difficulties, ensuring they can successfully complete their education.

As the academic year unfolds, the Norman-led SRC continues to set a high standard for student leadership, showing a strong commitment to ensuring that every UCC student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their financial situation.
