Elvis Oduor says
Hello Sir/Madam,
My name is Elvis Oduor aged 20 and I am a Kenyan.I finished my high school learning in the year 2009 and had a mean grade of B(plain).My career field of interest is Architectural Engineering. I have a very great thirst for further learning in your university and that is why I call upon your helping hand to lift me up from the ditch where I am stuck by offering scholarship.
I come from a financially disable background and your support unto me will be like mounting wings in my arms to flee from the world of darkness to the world of everlasting Sunshine.
Thank a lot and may God Bless you.

I cleared high school last year and i got a B-. I would like a chance to pursue computer science in your university under a scholarship. the reason why i want to study that course abroad is because i can be able to get a masters in robotics engineering after i am through with comp science which is not available in kenya (which is my home country.) Thankyou!
