First of all I would like to thank all of you and your institution for providing the scholarship information. My name is Mohamed Naushad. I am from Srilanka. I have Bachelor of Arts general degree from University of Colombo at 2008 my main subjects are Sociology, International Relation and Geography. though I have successfully finished Diploma in Counseling. Now I am working as a volunteer in Child help line in Ministry of Child Development and Women’s Empowerment.
Now I am very interested to continue my further education (master) if I can get any scholarship that relates to my counseling field or my subject area. Even though, I have high interest to continue my further education I have not the financial strength to do so that. Even it is very difficult in our country to have good daily life. So I am very happy if you provide me with a scholarship any where. It may be in the fields of Counseling, Internationl studies, Social studies and Geography others.
I am sure you will provide me any scholarship
