NSFFI 2023: There is no entry / registration fee. There are many scholarships available but yet, there is also the number of students who were not able to succeed on their way towards applying for a certain scholarship. To have a successful scholarship application, there are ways to follow and this is through meeting the qualification of a specific scholarship. If you are a student and wanted to have a scholarship, focus and determination are also the important key for you to be successful. Having focused on the academic performance is very important because most of the scholarship programs weigh high on a student with a good and even excellent academic performance. Indeed, it is of great help to attain their goals and ambitions in life.
