Firstly, a scholarship is a grant or stipend to a student for his/her excellence. The beautiful thing about scholarships is that you do not have to be the best to get it.

No matter how stressful it might seem, try as much as possible to apply for scholarships. Just imagine the joy you get when you get that “gbagam” alert.

Furthermore, there are many scholarships available for university students. Both local and international scholarships. I am a beneficiary of university scholarships and you can be too. Trust My Info Connect to always keep you updated.
