MY name is Chengetai Muzamwese, I founded a humanitqrian youth association some months ago,
One of our objectives is involving SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES TO RURAL PUPILS. Due to the inaccessibility of modern communication methods such as radio, TV, Internet and many more, the underpriviledged rural students are not accessing the golden opportunities in which the urban always enjoy… Sholarships seats are taken aaway by the urban and yet the urban are the ones who can affort to pay for tertiary education… So as an association we are requesting scholarship seats to scholarship offering Universities, Countries and association… What can i do to secure some scholarship chances for my fellow underpriviledged rural pupils?????
