Though I am interested & able to learn I can’t do this because of my incapacity to pay for the program as I am from Ethiopia which is one from the least developed countries. As a result of this I am forced to turn my face to the international scholarship programs both for my learning as well as living expenses. So I want yours Scholarship Administrator consideration to that effect by stretching its hands to the question I posed. . So, please if you can, inform me the requirements or eligibility criteria’s for such scholarship that I have requested, dates when to be opened for application, and any tasks that I am expected to fulfill to be eligible for it. If you can again I want you to give me any constructive advice as a brother personally on how to proceed to get international scholarship on LL.M (second degree in law) program even by giving the website that I can proceed for.
