Water and Soil Solution Wants To Support Students
Water & Soil Solution, a Non-Governmental Organization aimed at providing good drinkable bore hole water in Nigeria now goes into education aid. Yes, you heard it right, education!
According their website information, Water and Soil Solution operates mostly in the Northern part of Nigeria (Sokoto and Nasarawa State to be precise) over time they have build a total of 250 boreholes in the rural areas at no cost.
Surprisingly for me, they are now into providing scholarship to students in Polytechnics and Universities in collaboration with their parent company in Switzerland. (I am not so sure who the parent company is, they did not provide such information. I wonder why, it matters alot!)
Excerpt from their site says the Scholarship Program is their own way of supporting the humanity by supporting students in high institutions.
Water and Soil, registered with Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria declared that they will pay roughly 50,000 Naira to applicants upon screening exercise and verification of student result which they require a minimum of 2 Grade A passes and 4 Credits from either WAEC or NECO examination and 3.0 CGPA for University students.
However, their web site and application page are both not convincing for me! Though this could issues related to their webmaster, I suppose they were very negligent or in experienced enough to know that the site is poor. Sadly, I even submitted an empty application form and I received the response
Your application has been submitted. We will get back to you in due time
But this enough might not be a reason for me to judge the offer.
Thank God, I am a technical person, so I was able to tell that the form might be processing well but only the web master failed to do pre-checking to submitted data. In layman words, probably the application form works well and will submit your data for processing!
If you are interested in the scholarship offer, you may contact them via the following information according to their web site.

I’m also not convinced about the scholarship programme. Why should we pay a verification fee of 1000 naira to company meant to be of international standard with a poorly designed website and whose parent company has no name.
I’m also not convinced about you! If the picture I see if you I want to say you don’t look 20 plus few nigerian men are wedded at 20! What do you have to say?
