salam alakum, waramatullahi wabarakatuhu.my name is rasheed lateef akinola, I am undergraduate student of obafemi awolowo university ile ife nigeria. the first reason why i apply for this scholarship is because, i emerge from poor family it is not easy for my parent to get my school fees as a result of this i do not find my self in a condisive learning environment .Secondly in one narration of the prophet S.A.W. that whoever move out of his house to seek for knowledge is on the striving to the path of allah . I will be very grateful if my request considered JAZAKUMLLAHU KHAIRAN.
