HOW TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS ABROAD

So many youths today are eager to study abroad but the resources to achieve this, is unavailable. So today, I am going to talk about the procedures or techniques you have to employ when applying for scholarships abroad. Note that if you cannot study abroad on a scholarship, you can enroll in a low tuition university in Turkey or elsewhere.
You see, every year, thousands of organisations, NGO's, individuals etc give out lots of scholarships to aid international students pursue their studies abroad. But sad to say that 60% of these scholarships are not claimed. The reason being that a good number of people don't believe they can actually get such scholarships, some on the other hand don't get the information on time.
Well, I want to asure you that irrespective of your results, race or gender, you can apply for a scholarship and win it! The scholarship committee don't only look at results, they consider other factors like field of study, statement of purpose etc. So, do not be discouraged by the fact that you've not got a fantastic result, just apply to as many scholarships as you can and you will get one at the end of the day.
All what you need to do is to get your application materials ready, so you can apply before deadline.
The key to winning scholarships is to apply on time with complete application package. Most organisations giving out scholarships require that you include your results, transcripts, statement of purpose, reference letters and sometimes TOEFL in your application package. I have posted an article on how to write a good statement of purpose, so go check it out!
Finally, make good use of the search engines so as to know when scholarships are advertised. This is very very necessary as 90% of scholarships now are advertised on the net. So without searching for them, you will not know when such scholarships are advertised.
Thanks very much for reading my post, see you again next time!
