SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
THE FREE GLOBE INITIATIVE (FREGI) SCHOLARSHIP.
FREE GLOBAL INITIATIVE is awarding Up to 30 scholarships (are expected to be awarded) in (the 2006/07) academic year. These scholarships are provided to perpetuate the objectives of the organisation and are funded by public. We strongly believe that no one should be refused access to education because s/he can not afford the cost.
The objectives of the scholarship scheme are as follows:
-
To alleviate poverty by promoting education in areas of deprivation
-
To enable intellectually distinguished young Africans, their country's future leaders, to study in the UK.
-
To motivate scholars to act as ambassadors from Africa to the UK.
-
To promote the personal and academic fulfilment of each scholar.
-
To contribute to the socio-economic development of Africa
The conditions for application and selection are listed below.
VALUE AND BENEFITS:
The scholarship will cover one or more of the following, depending on the needs of individual applicants
-
tuition fees,
-
living expenses,
-
some study expenses, and
-
fares to and from the UK., .
Up to 30 scholarships are expected to be awarded in 06/07 academic year.
Where a scholarship includes the payment of fees, this applies exclusively to tuition fees. Any additional fees charged (e.g. bench fees) are not normally covered. Tuition and Boarding fees are estimated to be �11,000. The minimum that we would offer will be 15% of this amount to successful applicants.
