Being a scholarship recipient, what has benefited you?
Being a scholarship recipient, I have reduced the financial burden of my parents. As my father is the soul breadwinner in the family and he still has to support two of my brothers who are still schooling, this scholarship is very helpful and meaningful to me. It has made a big difference in my life. As a part of this scholarship, I have been working in the marketing department, 5 hours per week. I have gained many valuable experiences while working there. I have obtained skills on telemarketing and so on.
