Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap is to confuse “participant program” with a scholarship that is already granted. Here, Leeds is open to applications for the master’s program, but the JJ/WBGSP route still follows World Bank rules and does not automatically follow from the program simply being on the list. The right move is to secure the Leeds admission file first, then quickly check whether your nationality and profile fit the JJ/WBGSP rules before building a funding strategy.
