THAT WENT COMPLETELY WRONG!!! I got rejected for a National Geographic Explorer Grant.

I applied for a #natgeo #explorer #grant and was rejected. But I still hope my videos make you want to ‪@ExploreGA‬ see the #GoldenIsles and ‪@jekyll_island‬ to see the amazing work that the #georgiaseaturtlecenter is doing.
What else I'm up to:

    I know there are a lot or LIKES and UMs in this video, but please just bear with me. This video was really hard to record and this was the best I could do without breaking down a bit. Thanks for understanding.

    I love the honesty of this video. I like how your video captures the reality we artist's face. The sadness rejection brings and the dreams that keep us moving forward. It may not be now but I hope that someday you'll achieve your dream.

    I hope you get it! If it was something I could foot the bill for myself then I would, but the cost + the time I’d be on location not doing client work keeps me out of that currently. If I could start getting KZread ad revenue it would be a real possibility, so I just need more awesome people like you to keep watching my videos

    Hello, I am sorry to hear that your grant application was rejected. I believe that once you will reach your goal and you will be a National Geography explorer or you find another organization who support your great ideas! I have a question, dis they notify you by sending an email that a project was rejected? Or you just didn't hear back from them?

    Thank you I really hope so! I’m also trying to become a member of the @explorersclub as well so maybe one day I’ll get to use my unique skill set to entertain and educate people 😄 Yes they send emails of acceptance and rejection, so at least you know one way or another.

    Can you please tell me how someone can apply for the grant and what the basic qualifications are? Like age, education, major, etc?

    If you google Nat Geo Grants you can find the National Geographic grant page. Each grant has its own list of requirements and qualifications, so you’ll have to read each one and see if you’re a fit

    Can you please also tell me If there's a limit to how many times we can apply? Is it like we can only apply for a grant only once and then we can't?

    @akhilesh_rathod8500 the limits are set in the grant itself. Some allow for reapplication after rejection, others like the one I applied for do not allow reapplication. So read carefully and put your best foot forward.
