    Why do i deserve this scholarship money : 1. Fund will help. How impact in the long run. Better the world. Contribution to society. 2. Focus on the purpose of the scholarship. Core to the purpose of the scholarship. Relate to the donor 3. Use spesific example. Show them something. Not tell them. Spesific story about the idea you want to say. 4. How to overcome obstacle 5.

    Hello, I have a question! For some programs, I’ve applying they asked What will I contribute to the program? little confused, what would you recommend? Did you make any video about it? If yes can you attach the link for me? Thank you a lot!

    The answer is similar to Why I deserve the scholarship. When asked about what you will contribute, you will need to share what makes you different. How will your perspective, personality, attitude, or skills make a difference to the program, the participants, or the project? So you will want to share how you being involved will make an impact to the program and to the overall experience. So if you reframe the question to, Why I deserve to attend this program... it may make the question a little easier to answer using our suggestions.

    If there is no word count, usually about 500 words is good. But it never hurts to approach the scholarship organization itself to see if they have a preference that wasn't stated.

    Hello madam I enjoyed watching your video. I want to apply for a fellowship to do Ph.D. in public health. I am going to apply for this first-time international scholarship. So I don't understand how to write nicely. I have masters in public health and have been working in the public health sector for 10 years. It would be very helpful if you could advise me on how I should put all this together. Thank you

    Hi, so i am applying for this scholarship where i want to amswer this question by mentioning the financial burden that the only earning member of my family faces to pay for my education, and hence, the scholarship would lead to me being able to help relieve that stress somewhat, while also clear away some educational fees...what do you think of this?

    Our content is for students living in the US attending college in the US. But for the most part, if a scholarship asks to prove financial need, then you have an opportunity to explain your family's financial situation. You can include a monthly cashflow budget, if necessary, to prove that there is no discretionary money available. You can also discuss how you want to avoid student debt and how that will benefit you in the future.
