Talking about
Nigerian Scholarships meant for
students both in secondary, and tertiary level, the bigger part of the population hardly knows a thing about it. Especially in our
secondary schools. Only students privileged to attend
high quality schools like
Federal Science Colleges, Ogoja are well aware of this. Even among these privileged ones, a yet large portion of them lacks interest in
Scholarships simply because they’re not fully enlightened.
