ORIGINAL CERTIFICATES AND TRANSCRIPTS

Original certificates and Transcripts are considered a vital requirement of every scholarship application process.

It is important to secure your University certificates and transcripts prior to you applying for a scholarship.

It is almost impossible to secure admission or scholarship without these important documents.

In some cases, a statement of result could be accepted in place of a certificate.

However, there is no substitute for a transcript because it provides the summary of your result in your previous study.

Please note that these documents are very important for all applicants desiring an M.Sc. or PhD admission.

TIPS:

TIP 1:

If you have graduated and have not received your original certificates perhaps as a result of not having done a convocation/graduation which is the case in some institutions.

Write to your school and request for your certificate outlining the reasons.

A concession could be given if approached appropriately. Be sure to have made considerable progress in ur application process so that u could also attach some supporting documentation to convince the school to give a concession and issue u with ur original certificate.

TIP 2:

It is also possible that your institution has a policy of not giving students the original transcripts. If this is your case, write to your school and request for a student copy with which you could use for your online applications.

A LETTER TO PHD SUPERVISORS

Dear PhD Supervisors,

On Thursday 26th August, 2021 at 2:00pm, I got off the phone with my friend doing a PhD in another institution who explained to me his horrific experiences with his supervisor.
My friend has been struggling to get his family into Australia since he started his PhD journey. Like everyone else he was supposed to apply for an exemption for his wife and child.
Although he had every document required, he needed a letter from his supervisor to support his application but apparently and in his words: "the man does not want to have anything to do with my personal life and my family".

Dear friends,

Do you hoard opportunities that come to you?
Do you feel the need to share it with others to benefit or do you think sharing with others will limit your chances of having access to the opportunity?
It could be a job, a scholarship, a contract etc.
I apologise with my confronting questions but come with me as I explain the gains of sharing opportunities with others.

In 2017 while undertaking my master's studies in the UK, the Commonwealth Scholarship organised a workshop tagged "Connect and Communicate".

Dear Scholarship applicant,

I understand your passionate desire to secure a scholarship. I am here with a few points for you to consider while you work on your applications.

1. Be prepared for rejections. Many will come.
Most scholars who have been successful with many scholarships get baptised with many rejections. The initial rejections are to test you and see if you will give up. The guarantee is that you will secure a scholarship if you keep applying.
However, if you get discouraged and stop applying, the guarantee is that you will NOT get a scholarship. Keep applying.

2. Do not be discouraged by scholarships that have a caveat that you must return to your home country after graduation.

A THREAD

THE SILENT BENEFIT OF AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE: MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

This is my personal experience from using e-signatures in my emails for a few years now and the silent benefits it could bring.

Scholarship applicants please take note:
The sort of e-signature is the one used to sign off emails. Without boring you with particular defintion.

I have attached a screen shot of the two e-signatures I currently use to sign off my emails.
While there are obvious benefits of an e-signature, there are silent benefits that slide past us.

I intend to itemise a few which was premised on my daily DM correspondence with scholarship enthusiasts on Twitter.

Dear mum,

I am still shocked that it is 15years already since you left me down here. How are you holding up and what is happening up there? It has been a crazy time for us this past year because of a deadly virus.
A lot of people died and the world is still suffering from it. At least you do not get to see all that now. I am sorry I always bring you bad news from down here even though I was hoping not to share any more bad news with you this year.
I am sure you, dad and step mum have all met up and perhaps living in the same house up there. I am sure God can organise that for you guys? Remember when I wrote you last year right?

Being a PhD student and new to the research life, the rigorous process of ethical application for a complex study like mine pushed me to my limits. Image
Although I had very supportive supervisors, they did not spare me in being critical of my work. In fact, my principal supervisor Dr @endinequity will say "Aaron sometimes it is best to be blunt with you about your work".
The bluntness sharpened me and made me more resilient. I took these comments with a smile because I knew it was for my own good.
