Meeting the Minimum Requirements:

While disadvantaged circumstances may initially make you eligible for certain scholarships, it is essential to recognize that additional requirements are set by the scholarship providers.

These requirements often include factors like country of origin, age criteria, possession of relevant academic degrees, and proficiency in the English language. Each scholarship may have its specific prerequisites, and meeting them is crucial for consideration.

Beyond the Minimum: Standing Out from the Crowd:

Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a scholarship, as there will likely be numerous applicants with similar qualifications.

Scholarship providers establish specific criteria to identify exceptional students. These criteria include academic excellence, potential in the chosen field of study, academic performance, motivation letters or essays, and the overall quality of the application.

Understanding these criteria empowers you to find ways to gain a competitive advantage, such as leveraging your personal motivation letter to showcase why you deserve the scholarship.

Maximizing Opportunities:

To increase your chances of securing a scholarship, it is advisable to conduct thorough research on the scholarship provider’s areas of focus. Aligning your chosen field of study or research proposal with the provider’s mission/themes can significantly enhance your application.

Additionally, if you find that you don’t meet the requirements for a particular scholarship, consider alternative options with less stringent criteria or explore opportunities to fulfil the necessary qualifications.
