“I am a young Moroccan, specialist in information system and web development. I am interested in the scientific event “AFRINIC-29 Meeting in Tunisia” and therefore the scholarship dedicated to this event.
Since I am renewing my passport, I will have it only the week of August 27th to September 1st. For this purpose, I ask you if I can attach to the form the number of my national card and a copy before August 24 and I will send you a copy of my passport once I have it the week after .
Best regards.”
Hello Susan, Thanks for your interest. You may give it a shot, there’s nothing wrong in trying. However, may have to strongly defend your answers to actually convince the Selection Committee that you deserve this opportunity out of the lots that have applied
If you need advice or guidance on how to fill the form, kindly leave a comment below or contact Myjamano at +2203556554. We will be willing to assist you at no cost! Good luck!
Yes you are. You do not need prior attendance to any internet related meetings neither do you need to have contributed to to AFRINIC community discussions before.
