Dear Friend,

Scholarships are a great, affordable way to advance your academic/professional career. I am so far a beneficiary of two scholarships: the JKF Scholarship (high school), the HELB Partial Scholarship (MSc. Electrical Engineering at JKUAT) & AFDB Scholarship (PhD.Electrical Engineering at JKUAT)

I know several people who have secured scholarships by the organizations below so they are genuine and the chances of winning are high.
All the best.
