Tips from our advisors

1. Check the local mission's notice for available award durations and deadlines.
2. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.

4. Spend most of your time on the criteria with the highest weight in the selection breakdown above.
5. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
