To Whom This May Concern.
I left my country to come to the UK in 2002. I was hoping to be able to study acturial science, but because of my financial situation it has been difficult for me. I have always excelled at Mathematics and I have done some volunnteer teaching in the UK. I really need some help to be able to continue and study Acturial Science.
I would like to know how this scholarship may apply to me as i do not hold any degree at the moment.
