I take this opportunity to express my great appreciation to all the donors who make it possible, year in and year out, for needy student's around the world to get funding for the course of their dreams. It is a self-less act which is not taken for granted. I would like to apply for a LLM masters degree in Human rights and Women law field in order to improve the lives of our our womenfolk in my home in Kenya.

This is really a selfless act, and it deserves to be appreciated to the fullest, "kudos to the donors". I will like to apply for Msc in computer science, so that the digital konwledge can be decoded properly to my people here in Nigeria, which will make thousands of youths to be self-employed. Please keep me posted if any one have any necessary information that is needed of me to know. Thanks.

Hi, Its a great opportunity indeed for us and I am hoping the selection criteria is not only skewed towards past academic performances, practical experience and professional qualifications should equally be a factor too. I would greatly appreciate this scholarship as it would enhance the degree of benefits I could share and contribute to my community and country where am not only an accountant in the Pubic office but a part time lecturer, and an active member of The Wild life Conservation Society of Zambia
