My name is Pauline Ashu Paul, a 23-year-old aspiring public health practitioner. I’m nominating myself because I believe my dreams are still valid, despite the setbacks I’ve faced.

I studied Guidance and Counselling at Taraba State University up to 300 level before dropping out due to financial hardship. I later applied for MIVA Open University twice but couldn’t enroll because of the same challenge.

This scholarship would restore my confidence and give me a real chance to finish what I started and this time without the fear of dropping out. I’m determined to use my education to make a lasting difference in the lives of others, especially those from underserved communities.

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered.
