I already have five admission offers from four different UK universities, Newcastle Inclusive. but am tired of applying for so many things. It's like PTDF no wan consider us this year.
May give it a try sha.

I am really shocked to see people expressing negative comments. If there is any scholarship provider I can vouch for, it's Shell. You will be shocked to know that some companies out there still believe in merit especially in events like this.
