A General Note on Scholarship Application

Many of you have sent dms to me asking for scholarship info. Let me make some general statements about Scholarship Applications.

1. When you see people post success stories about scholarships and admissions, know that they have been

through many failures. One success is just enough to cancel I million failures. So, it's important that you ask them about their journey, more importantly about their failures.

2. Don't expect that you must be successful in every scholarship application. Personally, my failures in this scholarship journey are more than successes. Scholarship is not meant for the most intelligent. It is for the resilient, dogged, and smart. So, be prepared to fail.

3. Many of you are expecting feedback from many scholarship applications. Don't be too anxious, be prepared to get a 'love letter' and be ready to learn and move on. If you relent, there are thousands willing to move on.

What's your gain? Will you give up after so much energy, time, and resources?

4. When you fail, please ask people for feedback. Let them tell you what you did wrong. Talk to people. This will further ignite your passion. Scholarship is not for the weak.

5. When your success comes, it always seems as if you are the first to get it. Do not ENVY anyone.

The people you give scholarship info may get it before you. That should not stop you from spreading information. You are training yourself to be selfless.
