Help Abtsega go to college!
Donation protected
Abtsega was one of our students in AddisCoder 2019, and he recently received a full scholarship to attend the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), for four years to study Computer Science and Engineering. The scholarship covers all of his expenses (dorm, tuition, laptop, other fees) but not the flight, health insurance, and he will also need some pocket money during his time there. He wanted to raise money through a gofundme, but currently the platform requires a social security number to withdraw funds, and so I am creating it for him. Below is his story in his own words:
"I am Abtsega Tesfaye and have a great desire to be a computer scientist specializing in cybersecurity and computer networking. I am from a poor family situated in Sodo, Ethiopia. I searched for scholarship opportunities for the sake of acquiring a better education in Computer Science and Engineering. My strong scores academically and extra-curricular activities rewarded me an opportunity to study Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) for 4 years. All the expenses of tuition, hostel, exam fees, laptops, books are considered under the scholarship. However, the air ticket, stipend money, and health insurance aren't included. My family's low income isn't sufficient to cover the expenses.
Thanks from the my bottom of heart, and I hope you can support me."
