    Greetings, I’m from East Africa, Ethiopia in particular. Because of the economical crisis in my family, my academics has been disturbed extremely, I graduated from the university of Wolaita Sodo University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with distinction CGPA of 3.36, and I have not been able to proceed with further studies due to the cash strapped in my family. I pray this becomes a Golden opportunity for me to continue my studies so as to achieve my dreams of becoming a Best Engineer. Please give me fully funded civil engineering MSc scholarship in order to imorove my eager to be either Highway engineering or structural engineering. I will be GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL if I am given the opportunity to study on scholarship at your Institution.
    Thank you for your consideration.
