Aamin o!

Thank you IbnIbrahrim for the post.

Please the link isn't working.

retry the link. I'd tried it before. It might probably due to connectivity.

Goodluck.

good one

When i was browsing through the site i came across this
"Who can apply

Undergraduate students from Brazil, India, China, South Korea, USA and Japan can apply for the Danish Innovation Scholarships. The scholarships will be made available in two consecutive rounds - one in 2015 and one in 2016 - and are managed within a set of thematic clusters and academic partnerships (i.e. Blue INNOSHIP, NEXT, Future Cropping and VIP)"

This simply means that Nigerians are exempted from applying.

But if i am mistaken pls let me know. Thanks
