i am a current grade 12 learner from namibia. i am completing my grade 12 in october but i do not have hope for next year as both my parents do not work and am the only elder sibling that is in school that they rely on. i am not an orphan but a very vulnerable child, my father who we depend on with his pension fees is very ill and we might lose him. i am really interested in these scholarship as it is my source of hope to fulfill my studies and help my family and community as well. how do i go about and apply to these prestigious institution and am i allowed to apply even if both my parents are still alive.
