    Hi my name is Tanaka. I'm a girl. I come from Zimbabwe. My chances of studying and applying for successful bursaries are very limited. I lived in South Africa for quite a while now. Currently doing my grade 12 now. We are really poor. My parents Don't earn much they are self employed. If anyone is reading this please find me a suitable sponsor. I wish to persue my dreams as a computer scientist at an available university in South Africa. I am a very intelligent girl. I score an average of 68%+ . I'm strong in Maths and Science. I've been a captain in my school for quite a long time. I was a captain in soccer and athletics. I am a person if my word I'm very good with words. I won silver twice in public speaking at my school for the international toastmasters event at Grahamastown. I was also a speaker at makhanda ngoku programme held live at the monument in grahamastown. I also participated in the science expo and got bronze. I participated also in the mini HPW project at Rhodes. I can go on. I want to be someone in life. As a young lady I believe I can do anything. I am looking forward being funded with a bursary. If anyone is interested in funding me please get in touch with me via email ashleytanakac8@gmail.com

    Hi is a scholarship a loan

      Hello Wandisa Mpilenhle Mtshali,

      No, a scholarship is not a loan. A scholarship is a form of financial aid that does not need to be repaid. It is typically awarded based on academic achievement, financial need, or other criteria specified by the scholarship provider. On the other hand, a loan is a sum of money that is borrowed and must be repaid with interest over time.
