I am a Ugandan who have been working as a copy typist for 15 years now! I found out that my salary cannot help me to pay school fees due to 6 daughters i am looking after and for the house rent. I tried so many ways (like attending short courses and creating income generating activities) to uplift myself but all in vein. I request to know whether there is any organization which can give me a scholarship to take a secretarial course in Management at Uganda Management Institute which is near and transport will not cost too much for me. Hope to hear from you.

I would like to express my appreciation and excitement for the opportunity I am offered to apply for the Korean scholarship program for undergraduate student. I am from Ethiopia and currently I have started studying Computer Engineering at Bahir Dar institution of technology.
Obviously the knowledge of Computer technology is a necessity for particularly developing countries like Ethiopia to access and use information to enhance development. Owing to the limited access and inadequate facilities and instructors in Bahir Dar University, I have been endeavoring to find a competent institution globally that I am finally excited and pleased to apply for this golden chance.
I am convinced with utmost belief that my dream will come true if I get the opportunity to attend your University from its standard and global recognition.
