New year brings more scholars and big plans for expansion
The Christopher Dowswell Scholarship Program is kicking off 2016 with some exciting news!
We are happy to announce that we have selected 17 new students to join the scholarship program. This means we are nearly doubling the total number of scholars. We are particularly pleased to see an increase in the number of women pursuing their diplomas in Mali, where the program now supports 17 female mid-career scholars.
All the women have expressed their gratitude, some saying they are pleased to see they are finally being offered the same opportunities as men.
The scholarship program now plans to expand to Tanzania, where it will offer BSc scholarships in Agricultural Extension at Sokoine Agricultural University.
Your donations have made our success possible, and will allow the scholarship to expand its reach in 2016. We appreciate your continued support.
Thank you.
