  Hello Gemechu Gobena,
  
  We don't represent any specific institution and recommend any course that the applicant chooses. However, I can certainly offer guidance on pursuing fully funded PhD scholarships in psychology. Advanced doctoral students (advanced to candidacy – all but dissertation) and established scientists are eligible for Leakey Foundation Research Grants. There are no citizenship restrictions.

  Hi Njumbe Benedict Ngyia,
  
  Leakey Foundation Research Grants are tailored for students engaged in research specifically related to Human Origins. If you meet the eligibility criteria for this specific requirement and believe you qualify, you are good to proceed with the application. Instead of relying solely on scholarships, I recommend exploring alternative funding sources such as education loans.
