Scholarships - How to Prepare For a Successful Application
A few days ago I was in Chicago, a city north of Peru to participate in II International Conference Scholarship Peru Organized by Universe and travels through the country's main cities to report on scholarship opportunities abroad. Well, in this post I commented that I picked up more tips from exhibitors who joined us in the event (embassies and other institutions) and I'm sure, will help them in their arduous task of obtaining a scholarship.
"Language, language, languages," for me is the main requirement to take into account when applying for a scholarship. The more languages mastered, the more chances we have and in fact, we are an advantage over others who like us postulate. And not just talk about opportunities with regard to achieving the scholarship, but rather on opportunities to study... dominate languages like English, French or German, for example, we have a wide range of scholarship opportunities for studies in countries of first world, where the quality of education is much higher.
The second important kept well informed about what and where to study, we must look at what more we can target educational institutions, if possible, Alumni get referrals or other persons who have studied there and we can provide real and accurate information of the institution (part in blogs and forums, visiting websites), this is very, very important not only for the education they receive, but for the security and integrity personal. Thirdly we could mention have an excellent curriculum (Curriculum vitae) which includes in addition to academic work experience, studies like those who intend to perform, cultural extracurricular activities, sporting, social, skills, and reflect that we can be good ambassadors of our country abroad.
Then, it is necessary be well aware of the dates of the calls scholarships, make sure you are enabled to participate. This point is also very important because missing a requirement, practically are out of the contest, which is necessary to prepare in advance to apply.
The References we can provide, and the letters of recommendation that we present, are also vital. These should contain information and we'll see emerge as excellent candidates. Do not forget prepare an impeccable record without any errors (spelling, presentation, inaccurate data, etc..) and finally, always express our desire to return our country of origin to contribute to the development and sharing lessons learned, this often determines the obtaining of the grant, as most of the institutions that offer are enemies of the brain drain.
