BENEFITS

The MUSTE Scholarship provides bursary to cover the cost of completing an undergraduate or higher degree program that is within 3 – 6 years. It is also subject to satisfactory academic performance in the subsequent year of the degree program. The Scholarship provides benefits for the recipient only, and intends to cover:

The MUSTE Scholarship does not cover:

• Expenses for the scholar's family.

• Expenses related to research, supplementary materials, field trip or workshops while at the university.

• INTERNATIONAL OR LOCAL TUITION FEES THAT EXCEED THE BURSARY AWARDED. This is a bursary of a fixed amount regardless of the tuition stated by the school.

In addition, • The scholarship awarded is valid for the academic year immediately following the offer of the award and cannot be deferred for any reason.

• Should you be granted the scholarship, your progress report is required at the end of every academic year as well as your annual academic results. These should be sent in prior to the renewal of your scholarship.

• The MUSTE scholarship only supplements and does not duplicate any other source of financial support the scholar might have. However, scholars must inform the Board of MUSTE if they have other sources of scholarship funds.

Your MUSTE scholarship maybe withdrawn unconditionally or partially if during the scholarship period the Board has evidence of additional sources of support.
Deadline: 1st November 2013.

Really can't say either. But I want to believe the 'story' should be true and reflect humility in all sense of it. It should show that you are academically sound and cannot/can hardly afford the cost of study...not sounding too pathetic as that may show a level of desperation.
...just my opinion. Discretion matters.
All the best.
Plus; has anyone found out how to join the Youth Empowerment and ICT Foundation?

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't know if you were provided any form of login details. You may try logging in from the mail site and see if you can edit your details.
(Just an assumption)

You can upload the result reflecting your CGPA after your first semester result was collated, just in case you did not conclude your second semester before the strike action.
I really hope a form of flexibility can be induced in the area of 'Academic Referee' because of the strike action (just like the case was with Mobil scholarship.)

You can give it a try since the eligibility criteria are not rigidly outlined for undergraduates. I stand to be corrected though.

Yes, you can apply. You should enter the tuition fee for your next session (or level). Definitely, MUSTE cannot pay for your current session, but from the next one.
