1.The curriculum vitae
This is the first opportunity you have to sell yourself. It must be targeted to the application. Therefore, you cannot use a single CV for all applications. I strongly recommend what I call a smart CV. Follow this simple guide.
2.The personal Statement
You can consider the tweets below and get a picture of what a great personal statement should contain
3.The referee report
This is as important as your PS and CV. The content must be in concordance with whatever you are presenting in your CV. This means that the writer should at least have information enough to capture some vitals of your CV and PS. I have been a victim of cases
some Head of Departments will direct you to secretaries who would simply change the name of an existing referee report to yours and print. That is Absurd!!!
A referee do not have to be a professor(A prof could be an advantage). It is simply someone who could write exhaustively
about you. See below an example of a referee report written about me when I was applying that landed me funding. God bless her for me (She was a Lecturer 2 at FUTO).
With all this said, always make an application with the Trilogy in mind and come back to testify @eniolakiite

Today's Topic: Build the right profile
Have you heard the words “first impression matters!”? This is true almost everywhere, especially when you are an aspiring graduate student. Therefore, building the right profile before presenting them is very important.

Below are critical profiles you might need
1. Test Scores’ profile.
Though I am an advocate of #GREwaivers, I cannot underemphasize the importance of test scores. For instance, as an aspiring #engineering or #mathematical sciences graduate student, getting a GRE score

Today's Title: Getting prepared
Nothing beats preparation. Most people that win one or more scholarships did not just stumble on the opportunity; they prepared for it. According to Louis Pasteur: "Chance favours the prepared mind." How should you prepare for scholarships?

1. Google is your friend.
When you ask people to recommend scholarships for you, you forget that some google to figure it out for you. I understand that sometimes experience matters, but you can also learn. Today I know about so much funding available for grad school globally 3/n
HOW TO GET A FULLY FUNDED SCHOLARSHIP PART 1
Thanks for following and embracing this opportunity. In my first tweet in this series, I will be talking about how you build the right scholarship mindset. Unless your mind is ready, the journey to getting scholarships will be in vain.
Let’s understand the following:
1. No one can get a Scholarship for you other than you.
Never be entitled to people’s time and resources. You should be conscious that it is your scholarship journey and not theirs, therefore, appreciate every attention given to you.
Therefore, be polite when approaching people that have the information you desire.
Information you access is not power until you apply and learn in the process. Some aagencies mentor you into unlocking your capabilities; access them if you can afford it!
BRAINBURSTER SCHOLARSHIP WHATSAPP CLASS (SEASON 2)
The arrangement has been concluded to open a FREE WhatsApp class to scholarship hopefuls, just like we did last year.
However, this time, it has some stringent conditions because we need a very serious and consistent audience.
Aspirants must have the following with proofs: 1. Minimum CGPA of 3.5/5 2. Transcripts (Student copy is Ok for Admissions) 3. International Passport 4. TOEFL/GRE or evidence that registration is made. 5. A commitment fee (#20,000)- This is refundable if you complete all tasks.
Please hold us responsible and call out our names if we don't refund your money after completing all the scholarship tasks. We are doing this to have a serious audience who knows what it's at stake. This group is NOT for everyone and it is NEVER COMPULSORY to join.
I will be dishing out application fee waivers for Bachelors and Masters programs at Western Illinois University between March 1st and 7th. Preference is given to self-funded students, Scholarship applicants can apply too.

Scholarships are moving to social media. Many of you don't get replies because of how you are presented. A lot of my #mentees have grabbed their scholarship s on social media. Two important apps you must have is #Twitter and #Linkedin.
How can you benefit from this?
1. Make your profile name catchy!! First impression last longer. All those "sexy dollie" "fine tohbe" etc profile names. Na wa o. How does that present you?
🥞Use your legal names!!!
🥞Get a sweet handle
🥞Write a small profile summary and highlight your education too
2. What's your profile picture? My dear, some profile picture reminds me of the sentence "na only you waka come?
Use a nice casual or smart profile picture. Do you know I got to know about my school via Twitter? and I am here now.
