The Annual US Embassy Award is a very good initiative of American Government for underprivileged African countries and its citizens so they can make their lives better in longer run through a proper channel, and make the most of it. This program has been offered since 1980. One of the main and foremost purposes of this program is to select eligible agents from particular countries, countries that don’t have much resource to support their citizens and make them capable enough so they can come back to their homelands and utilize their knowledge that they learned through this plan. This program gives access to the education at postgraduate level and a better platform for training and professional development of proficient individuals. Two types of awards are introduced by this program. Number 1 is US Embassy Awards Scholarships that helps people to get a higher degree studies in Australia at Masters Level and the other one is US Embassy Awards Short Courses that initiates short-term, planned professional training courses, in America or in Africa, in development-focused sectors.
Following countries are eligible for this program:
Algeria. Angola. Benin. Botswana. Burkina Faso. Burundi. Cameroun, Cape Verde. Comoros. Congo(Republic of). Djibouti. Egypt. Ethiopia, The Gambia. Ghana. Kenya. Lesotho. Liberia, Libya. Malawi. Mali. Mauritius. Morocco. Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda. Sao Tome & Principe. Senegal, Seychelles. Sierra Leone. South Africa. Swaziland. Tanzania. Togo. Tunisia, Uganda. Zambia etc.

Scholarship has been provided to African students in the program of 2018-12019. We needed masterpapers.com for info related to academic writing. They can get to know about the criteria if they fulfill the requirements and come up to the required level of excellence. This stage would be good for all kids who need to enroll themselves in universities.
