  3. Hello Yousaf,

    My name is Michael.

    My son, Jay, is interested in a free scholarship for his bachelor’s degree at a university in Europe.
    We live in Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies.

    He is 18 years old and he is in 6th Form. He is a national athlete in the sport of water polo, and he would like to pursue a degree in physical therapy.

    My daughter, Megan, is 23 years old and she is also interested in a free scholarship to pursue a degree in graphic art.
    I think it may be better if they stick together… or not.

    Anyway, please send me some feedback.

    Sincerely,

    Michael
