How to craft a scholarship/funding application.

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace #AcademicTwitter #scicomm #Scholarships
(1/10) I have attended quite a few workshops in the past on how to develop a competitive application for scholarships (also written a few). So thought of sharing the key takeaways here. These points are from various sources which I have collected over some time now.
(2/10) Note: Some points are obvious (to be honest) but it will give you a checklist of things to keep in mind. I am “not” claiming these tips and tricks will get you the scholarship, but they will help improve (or craft) your application.
(3/10) So, I hope these points turn out to be useful in your next application. All the best.

1️⃣ Professional Note-taker: In universities, if you sign up as a note-taker. You will be required to attend classes for students who would have requested a note-taker for various reasons. So, if you have good speed in taking notes then working as a note-taker is for you.
The fascinating part of being a note-taker is that you get to attend lectures on different topics.

Fact: The word “amanuensis” (in Latin) means a servant from the hand. An amanuensis is someone good at taking notes when someone else is speaking.
