I am born from sub-Saharan Africa, my age is 22 years. I have finished my 3years undergraduate program(BA in Economics) on 19 July 2008 , and I want to proceed with further studies in master of economics.My mother country is Ethiopia and adding to that, my parents cannot raise more funds for me for further education. Therefore, I am passing my appeal for any person willing to give a free scholarship. One can reach me at tade.dosegnaw@yahoo.com .

I am a Nigerian;applying for the ofid scholarship. As I search through the column requesting my country, it’s unfortunate that Nigeria was among the countries not included. Why this discrimination or more politely, exemption? Dauda

Dear sir/madam,
Good day.I prey this email reaches you in a good faith.My name is Kindu Gashaw,32years of age,belong to one of the poorest country in the world.My country Ethiopia often ranks in bottom 10 of the UN’s human development index i.e 169(of 179).Though many progress is going on in the country, there is a challenge of frequent droughts and food shorteges.So let alone to afford higher educational expences,it is clear to realise how life is very hard in this country.
I was born from arural parents who had suffered with lack of education and I cam across most of the challenges by myself through out my education.Currently I have a diploma and a degree of English from Bahir dar University.I have been serving my country for about 12 years in differnt govrnment organization.
I have a kin interest to persue my second degree in any field and contribute my part to the economic and social development of my country.However,my eagerness eagerness and interest has been gradually in delay due to financial constraints.If you give me a scholarship,I’m sure that I would be able to achieve my dream.And I would be extremely grateful If you concider my application.
Yours sincerly.
Kindu

Hi,
I am Santosh from Nepal. I would like to complete my graduation in environmental science. I would be glad, if I could know the application procedure for OFID scholarship. I am looking forward a scholarship opportunity to continue my study.
Thanks

The most logical reason why Nigeria wouldn’t be part of the countries included is because Nigeria is part of OPEC and OFID offers it’s incentive for non opec members. Please read through the site before crying discrimination
