Are there any provisions for those who want to study abroad? I mean like for someone who already got an admission in a school abroad, but doesn’t have sufficient funds for the fees…are there some form of scholarships or financial assistance for such people?
…If not a scholarship, maybe even a study loan that can be paid back at an agreed time. Please I would like to get a response to this sir. Thank you.
No Provision for this yet
