@BTDTHub When applying for scholarships abroad, it helps to start by recognizing that so many others are also applying along with you. So have to stand out. One way to do this is to demonstrate why awarding you the scholarship guarantees long term benefits for a larger cause #ChatWithFola
@BTDTHub It helps to pay STRICT attention to specific instructions in the scholarship application. For instance if asked to write a 250 word essay, just writing 251 words could disqualify your application. Also watch spellings and grammar too. Read twice before submitting. #ChatWithFola
@BTDTHub Also pay very close attention to the deadlines! There s no point applying for a scholarship when the deadline has already elapsed. It therefore helps to apply early too. To do this you need to dedicate enough time. Avoid rushing through your scholarship applications #ChatWithFola
@BTDTHub When applying, start from the department, then the faculty, then the entire school and also external funding bodies. Be on the look out for some scholarships that a gender specific or geographically restrictive. Maintain formal language. Check grammar #ChatWithFola
@BTDTHub Do NOT copy and paste! This could contain the name of another scholarship, thereby disqualifying you as a result of a preventable error. Also ensure you have done a proper research on the scholarship body. You can mention the importance of their contribution #ChatWithFola
