from BANDUNG to HOLLAND (part 2)

okay,,, this post I dedicated to all the person who asked me, what is the secret of being accepted in any scholarship program... (not because I'm qualified enough for that qualification) it is about any different way I've tried and it works...

1st I want to say thanks to my family who help me by their pray!
and also thanks to Mr. Decky, Mr. Adi, and Mr. Ruta... they three gave me many tips to get this scholarship...

here they are.

1. Mr. Decky said " try different way, if others pick course work, pick by research"
you have to prepare your own proposal that related to your study, but it gave you one step closer because you already have any plan in your future study.. it is ok if finally you want to chose course work and that proposal will gave you an input for your motivation letter. after you have a proposal, send them to any professor in the university you want in order to get acceptance letter.

He also said " improve your english"yeah,, as we know, there is no scholarship without english certificate.... it will be important weapon after professor acceptance..

2. Mr. Adi said, "type a best promotion of yours in your motivation letter"
just tell who you are, where you work, what is your duty, and etc.... and don't forget tell them why they have to pick you not other candidates. maybe because you have strong motivation, leadership, and special interest from childhood about the program you want. more confidence but not a selfish one...

3. Mr. Ruta said, "translate your document into english"
simple but it will be your motivation (because translate your document into english is not cheap actually, so that you will say ' I won't let my money useless' when you are lazy someday...
he also said , " if the professor didn't answer your proposal, just call the university FSO"
FSO will tell you what is the requirement to apply nearest intake by email soon.

okay,, this is the step...

prepare your official personal document, follow TOEFL/IELTS or any kind of official english test, translate your document into English in official translator.

next... prepare your motivation letter..

and if you want to have by research program try to write your own proposal. read as many journal as you can. (international). it will improve your ability in analysis and writing something.

next try to search the professor name related to your background study (you can find them in official university website). if you want to have a course work try to contact the FSO (you can find them also in official university website) this step in order to have your "secret weapon" (professor/university acceptance letter).

and then try to browse the scholarship you want ( I suggest Bappenas - for civil servant, KOICA, KGSP, ADS, ALA, ADB, STUNED, NESSO try all of this keyword in google)

last is send your application!!!

the last is the most important. don't dream to have any scholarship without send any application at all.

I know the requirement is hard but..... believe me you can. and believe in yourself, keep in your mind "I'm the candidate they are looking for"

not much but hope it will be useful for you....

dream big, and get big!!!

FIGHTING!!
