Her Opportunity Story: Kaitochukwu Chukwudi - University of Cambridge Mastercard Foundation Scholarship
In this story, Kaito shares her insights and experiences as a recipient of the fully-funded Mastercard Foundation Scholarship to the University of Cambridge.
‘ I randomly saw the Mastercard Foundation Cambridge Scholarship Application, and while checking its eligibility requirements, I decided to be a little delusional and apply. One of the major reasons I applied was that my current program aligned perfectly with my interests and was going to give me the necessary exposure. Also, I met the eligibility requirements, so why not?’
