L$1 Million In Scholarships For Liberian Students and Youth
MKNK FoundationAPPLY 2024-2025

This is part of Activist Kollie’s contribution to education and youth empowerment in Liberia.
The Martin K. N. Kollie (MKNK) Foundation is pleased to announce a 1 million LRD Scholarship starting with communities and schools where Martin lived and went to school during his stay in Liberia.

I think, it is better you indicate the amount words the letter of motivation should contain….than just saying to 2-page. How do I know your discretion of 2-page is?
The motivational letter you talk about. Is it about myself, about the scholarship scam or what? Please answer these questions as it will guide me in the application process.
