A Chinua Achebe award/scholarship only for American students? *sigh*
I don’t get. A scholarship named after a Nigerian but is only opened to people based in the US?
Is this open for writers of India?
Wow this is so amazing to see! 👏🏽
I remember reading Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" in High School, it's such a devastatingly important exploration of colonialism and its consequences. This scholarship is a great way to help young writers while honoring him.
Oh yeah!
Please add my book
Love it !!
Really very good opportunity for young readers 👍 #bookreaders #bookswagon
This is great! But why is it only open to US students?
