“My first year at university was filled with excitement and ambition. However, financial challenges forced me to take a ‘dead year.’ This setback felt devastating. Thankfully, I learned about the ETM Scholarship and, despite an initial unsuccessful application, I persevered. Receiving the scholarship was a turning point. It affirmed my potential and fueled my determination to succeed. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity.” Akankwasa Bronia Isaac, Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Kabale University
