N.B
It’s crucial to remember that filling out scholarship applications is a numbers game. Apply to as many opportunities as you are eligible for to increase your chances of winning. Don’t lose up if your efforts aren’t rewarded right away; there are millions of opportunities available, and they are updated every day.
Unfortunately, winning can be challenging at times, and not everyone is assured of receiving a scholarship. You must never stop applying for jobs because if you do, you’ll never get one.
All African students, both those who reside in African nations and those who are citizens of other nations, are eligible for the scholarship. Read this if you want to pursue a degree abroad.
