Merry Christmas!

Christmas is here once again and this holiday break is a great time to work on scholarships. I would want to urgently draw your attention to a big number of newly announced full scholarships (air travel, tuition and maintenance) in this week’s newsletter.

The scholarships cover all subjects and include distance learning, short courses, undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Please circulate them widely. I would want them to reach each and every student in the developing countries.

I am sure the applications will keep you busy during this holiday period. Many more are being uploaded on the website daily. Look out for them and apply early enough to beat the deadlines.

Finally, I must say a big "Thank You" for the huge impact you had on my life this year. Thanks for all the kind words and encouraging e-mails. Without your support, it would have been impossible to keep sending the newsletter.

It is your encouragement that enables me to keep trying harder and harder. And the emails from successful applicants give me renewed strength every week.

This week’s thought - The future!

"The future belongs to the competent. It belongs to those who are very, very good at what they do. It does not belong to the well meaning."

- Brian Tracy

Happy holidays !

Kind regards,

Joe Ngugi.
