I remember telling someone I applied for this scholarship and he said 'Don't put your hopes high because they usually favour only the Southerners'. Well, I am from the North and I am not the only Northern beneficiary. Thank you Stanbic IBTC for giving value to everyone and for making my dreams valid.
