The University of Fiji has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jack’s Retail Pte Ltd to establish a scholarship programme that will support deserving Fijian students to pursue tertiary education.
The agreement, signed on 17 February 2026 at the University’s Saweni Campus, marks a significant collaboration between the University and the private sector to expand access to higher education and assist students facing financial barriers.
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji, Professor Shaista Shameem, described the partnership as an important milestone for the institution.
“This event represents an important moment for the University because it shows that the private sector has reached out to support students to achieve a qualification through a scholarship,” Professor Shameem said.
She said the agreement demonstrated confidence in the University’s academic programmes and reflected a strong example of corporate social responsibility.
Under the partnership, the Jack’s–UoF Scholarship will fund the full tuition fees of selected students enrolled at the University of Fiji. The scholarship will be awarded once every two academic years beginning in 2026 and forms part of Jack’s Retail Pte Ltd’s corporate social responsibility commitment to education and youth development in Fiji.
The scholarship is available to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in selected programmes including Commerce, Information Technology, Journalism and Media Studies and related disciplines.
Eligible applicants must be Fiji citizens who have completed Year 13 and achieved strong academic performance, or continuing students who maintain satisfactory academic standing at the University. Applicants must also demonstrate financial need, meet programme entry requirements and must not be recipients of any other scholarship.
Director of Jack’s Retail Pte Ltd, Mr. Nikul Khatri, said the company viewed education as a vital investment in the country’s future.
“As a proudly Fijian company, we believe business must go beyond commerce. It must create opportunity, empower people and invest in the future of Fiji,” Mr. Khatri said.
“The Jack’s–University of Fiji Scholarship is an investment in talent, discipline and potential. We want to support students who work hard, show promise and need the opportunity.”
Mr. Khatri added that education strengthens individuals, families, businesses and communities and noted that the partnership reflected shared values between the organisation and the University, including integrity, excellence and service to the nation.
The University of Fiji will administer and advertise the scholarship, manage the application and selection process through the Office of the Registrar, and monitor the academic progress of the recipient. Annual academic progress reports will be provided to the sponsor as part of the partnership arrangement.
Professor Shameem thanked Jack’s Retail Pte Ltd for its support and expressed confidence that the collaboration would benefit students for years to come.
“We hope to see your representatives often at the University, especially when awarding students with your scholarship in the years ahead,” she said.
The Memorandum of Understanding will remain in effect for four years, and application details for the scholarship will be announced through the University’s official communication channels.
The University of Fiji congratulates Nikhat, Assistant Registrar and Head of Samabula Campus, on successfully attaining a Certificate in Executive Coaching from the IAP Career College.
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji, Professor Shaista Shameem, said that supporting female staff at management level to gain additional skills and qualifications was a University priority.
The Executive Coach programme is a professional development qualification designed to equip participants with ethical, practical and results-driven coaching skills, with a strong focus on leadership, communication and workplace performance. The programme emphasised structured, step-by-step executive coaching techniques applicable to modern organisational environments.
Through the programme, Ms Nikhat gained advanced insights into leadership performance measurement, including communication effectiveness, adaptability to change, interpersonal relationships, decision-making, productivity, and the ability to train and motivate others. The course also placed strong emphasis on self-improvement, constructive feedback and continuous learning in leadership roles.
A significant component of the programme focused on communication skills essential for effective coaching, particularly active listening, clear and purposeful use of language, and non-verbal communication. Participants were trained to recognise how body language, tone and attentiveness influence trust, understanding and conflict resolution in workplace settings.
The programme further addressed work-life balance and wellbeing, examining the impact of stress, burnout, long working hours, role conflict and time management on professional performance. It highlighted the importance of proactive self-management and celebrating progress and success as part of sustained behavioural change and leadership development.
Ms Nikhat said the qualification would directly strengthen her work at the University of Fiji.
“This programme has enhanced my leadership and people-management skills, particularly in mentoring staff, managing performance, and supporting student success through structured coaching approaches. It will also enable me to contribute more effectively to institutional leadership and strategic planning,” she said.
At the University level, the qualification is expected to support stronger communication and collaboration across departments, improve the management of workplace challenges, and contribute to the development of internal coaching and mentoring initiatives aligned with the University’s strategic priorities.
The University of Fiji continues to encourage and support staff participation in professional development programmes that strengthen leadership capacity and enhance service delivery across its campuses
The University of Fiji has pioneered a new marketing innovation by installing billboards around Viti Levu that tell a continuing story about the University’s unique educational perspective.
Vice Chancellor Professor Shaista Shameem said the five sequential billboards used a new advertising technique that encouraged the public to progress from one billboard to the next to get the complete picture about the University’s educational values, priorities and holistic standpoint.
The Vice Chancellor Professor Shaista Shameem said the Public Relations Unit of the University felt the billboards should highlight the unique nature of the University through a narrative that showcased its special educational philosophy.
“This marketing innovation has attracted a lot of interest and has been effective as a new type of advertising for our programmes leading to a surge in enrollments,” she said.
Once the billboards had been installed, members of the public were invited to enter a competition to identify all five of them sequentially in order to win attractive prizes.
The winners received their prizes from the Registrar of the University Nathasha Mudaliar at the Saweni Campus.
The competition attracted strong public participation, particularly through social media, with many entrants travelling across Viti Levu to locate the billboards in sequence and engage with the University’s educational message.
The first prize winner, Karishma Kajal Reddy, received a Samsung A56 mobile phone. She said she found out about the competition through Facebook and decided to participate by visiting all the required billboard locations and taking selfies with the University of Fiji billboards in the background. She described her win as delightful and said she enjoyed being part of a campaign that promoted education in an innovative way.
The second prize winner, Abdul Faium, received a Samsung A26 mobile phone. He said he came across the competition on Facebook and decided to take part as it looked interesting and fun. While travelling with his family, he noticed the University’s billboards along the route and chose to participate.
“I felt really happy and proud knowing the effort paid off. Winning second prize made the trip even more memorable for my family,” he said.
The third prize winner, Ruksaar Razia Begum, received a Polaroid camera. She said she discovered the competition through a Facebook advertisement and thought it would be enjoyable to participate.
“I felt very happy and proud of myself. Winning third place made the experience even more special and memorable for my family,” she said.
The campaign demonstrates how narrative-based advertising and public participation can be effectively used to communicate educational values while strengthening engagement with communities across Fiji.
