What is This Blog all About and How Can You Contribute?

If we were to put it in one simple word- it is about GIVING. Since sentences and paragraphs are there for putting our ideas in more than one word, a little explanation may also help.

You know how difficult it is for a student in Ethiopia to learn about scholarship opportunities abroad or anywhere. This is because of any one of the following reasons:
1. Not many people in Ethiopia have the opportunity to spend many hours a day on the Internet, searching the Web for scholarship or funding opportunities. Thus, shouldn't you help by making it simple for any graduate or undergraduate student in Ethiopia to easily find all the relevant scholarship links in one place?

2. Many people know a lot of scholarship or funding sources but they do not know how to share them with other people. May be you are an Ethiopian student in a university somewhere and you know funding sources relevant to students from Ethiopia that you wish other students also knew this opportunity existed. This blog is the right place to GIVE this scholarship/ funding source information for free.
