So, what’s the procedure for applying? Here are several steps you need to follow:

Organize all your data – put it in google drive or print it, whatever your way of organizing it, just put everything in a single place.

Due dates? Yeah, they do matter! Create reminders of your due dates, so that you don’t have to do everything at the last minute.

Letters of recommendation are one plus point. Make sure you ask your teacher to write a letter of recommendation for you, but make sure if it falls through, you better have a backup.

Are you a good writer? Because if not, then you need to be one! Writing application and killing it is not a piece of cake. Application needs time, you never know what the other person is looking in it. Try to cover every point in it.

  • You need to understand your goals – ask yourself why are you doing this, what are you expecting? Why this experience is important?
  • Make an outline – well everyone knows that an essay is composed of an intro, body and conclusion, but you should know where you are heading to, at least it will save you from submitting a two page nothing.
  • Want to look smart? Search for typos, search and edit and edit and search and see where it leads to. You won’t be getting many chances.
  • After making a draft, send it for proof reading to someone you trust so that you would get honest reviews.
  • Again, review the submission requests of the scholarship to know if you have headed in the right direction.

Submit all your material and wait. Waiting is long and causes stress and anxiety but what other option you have got? So, just pray and be optimistic. Keep a contact with your scholarship office and ask them about when you can expect to hear a verdict.

Conclusion:

Well, the fun begins after you get the acceptance letter. Carefully follow all the steps, don’t miss out even on the slightest details. Keep going forward, fulfil your dreams and make your family proud. We wish you Best of luck!
