These are postgratuate scholarships wich are not intended for entry to the undergratuate courses. Therefore, you should first enrol at one of Somaliland's universities and come out with an outstanding honours degree.
first thanks to the darltong family for this great opportunity they have given to the somaliland students but my advise towards somaliand higher education authority is to make sincerely selection of students based on their performance not the something else that we are familiar as Somalis KKK
