        Hello Wodada Derrick,

        This scholarship opportunity is open to African students of all races, colors, and descents, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged and from conflict and post-conflict areas of Africa. The applicant should be eligible for admission into undergraduate and/or postgraduate programs at Gulu University and/or Egerton University as listed above. Students already holding any other scholarship of any kind are not eligible to benefit from this scholarship opportunity. If found, any student with a double scholarship will automatically be discontinued.

        Ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria before applying, as this increases your chances of selection. For additional information, I recommend referring to the application page.
