The Luxurynet International ICT Academy has launched the 2015 edition of its annual ICT Scholarship Program for 45 special courses . Interested individuals who would like to enroll for any of the selected courses can apply online for the scholarship . Successful candidates will be given the opportunity to study the courses of their choice without paying the course fees. The vision of our Academy is to make knowledge available to everyone, regardless of their geographical location and financial capacity. We intend to use this annual Scholarship Scheme to give back to society and make it possible for individuals that were unable to enroll for our courses during the year to have a chance to do so. We also decided to include courses which provide skills that could help our students become successful entrepreneurs and increase their chances of getting better jobs or promotion at their places of work. This will reduce unemployment and boost the economy. The courses we have selected for the 2015 edition of our scholarship can be taken online or offline (study materials can be downloaded or sent via post to student ).

CERTIFICATION: We decided to make this optional because not all of the 45 courses require certification. Someone who has learnt how to design websites or develop software does not need a certificate to become successful in that line of business. However, certification becomes necessary for boosting your Curriculum Vitae and increasing your chances of getting employed or promoted at work. We have two types of certification namely: a. Certificate of course Completion (Requires Interview and Verification) b. Certificate of Proficiency (Requires certification exam ) Certificates can be collected at our administrative office but if the student cannot come to our office, we can post it to the student. The student will bear the postage costs. 2. STUDY RESOURCES AND TOOLS There are different types of study resource; the default ones can be downloaded directly from our portal. We will also provide download links for other software and resources you may need for study. However, there may be physical tools needed for a course and these cannot be downloaded. For example, you cannot download a screw driver or network cable for the computer repair and networking courses. Such tools will be purchased by the student. Alternatively, students that cannot download the study materials or purchase tools by themselves can request that we do so and send the tools and software to them. In such cases, we will notify the students of the costs and when the students pay, we will send the materials to them. 3. SCHOLARSHIP RULES A.
