First and foremost , I thank your office for coming up with this scholarship to help poor and deceiving deaf scholar worldwide.
well am a native special deaf trained teacher. i am currently helping many deaf pupils in my country to access education. and as to such. am keen to advance my education to university level local as I continue with the good work of educating deaf children and giving other services needed to deaf communities.
However, I hails from a poor family that is not well placed financial to support my quest for higher education. I managed to go through a 2 years teaching courses as a recipient of GLOBAL DEAF CONNECTION COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP.
I am in need of an organization to help me fund my education at a local university. Therefore do me a favor if there is a possibility.
Thank you in advance
