A scholarship is very important to the society because it helps students like us who cannot afford to further our studies, to go further , it makes the impossible possible, if granted this scholarship I intend to work hard for the best interest of the society.From the small town of chiredzi I grew in, I realized that humans do not suffer because they have inabilities bt bcz they lack financial support from the people at heart.But in the society being with people with heart like you is a blessing,I believe therefore that your help will awake shattered dreams because of lack of financial support
