    I have been trying to draft since the past week but I'm really having some difficulty in composing the essay. Will be very grateful if you could help me out. I have received and offer from the university through your suggestions and I really need this Scholarship to take up the course.

    Please I have three questions.
    1. About the CSC theme, do we link it with a particular SDG goal, while answering the first impact development essay.
    2. How do we source for data and statistics to back up the essays.
    3. On the application Portal, it provided for us to choice just one CSC theme and university. I really don't understand, you advice we apply to many universities. Does it mean we will submit multiple applications to the Commonwealth.

    Hi, Mr. Victor God bless you for the wonderful works you do through this medium.
    Please I just need a little clarification.
    You know applicants are the ones to upload their transcript on the online application. But my school does not issue official transcripts to students except they will have to send the official ones directly to whichever people that need them and in this case, my school does not have access to my online application.
    What do I do because I only have the student's unofficial copy?
    Will the student copy be honored by the Commonwealth office?
