About the DM Scholarship
After I finished high school, I couldn’t attend university for nearly three years due to the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon. As someone who has always loved learning, it was incredibly difficult for me to be out of school for so long. The English-speaking regions of Cameroon have faced significant socio-economic challenges for nearly a decade, exacerbated by political instability and limited access to quality education.
This scholarship program is designed to help young students who, like me, have the potential to achieve great things but face financial constraints. Our goal is to provide financial support to deserving students, enabling them to pursue their academic dreams.
