CAREER ASPIRATIONS / DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Please use the space below to tell us about your future plans. If you are applying for one of our fee award scholarships, tell
us about your career aspirations and how you plan to contribute to your chosen field in future. If you are an international
student from a developing country applying for a full scholarship, please provide a detailed outline of your development plan
and how you intend to use the knowledge and experience gained through the course to contribute towards the development
of your home country (500 words maximum).

After completing Computer Science BSc Honours, I intend to become a computer engineer, widely focusing on software
technicalities. I am from Kenya, and in Kenya the rate of Computer literacy is not as high, as a result of this, not many
students from Kenya in today's time think and aspire to be in the technological field. Hence, following my education I want to
try and improve the computer literacy levels, and improve the technological advancements in Kenya. Further more, as I am
also interested in Indian classical music, I intend to build a user-friendly interface which will help everyone to learn and be
open to Indian classical music.

special circumstances affecting your need for financial assistance. If you are applying for any of our fee award scholarships,
please explain how you intend to cover the remaining expenses (300 words maximum). .

At the moment, the only financial support I am receiving is from my parents. Unfortunately, they are experiencing rigid
difficulties in continuing to support my studies financially. I have two other brothers who are also studying at the moment.
Hence, my parents are experiencing difficulty in supporting me financially. Due to this unavoidable circumstance, I am applying
for a Full Scholarship. Kindly, assist me.
