Tips from our advisors

1. Request the scholarship form within 15 days of admission and return it within 30 days of receiving it; verify tuition and eligibility for the chosen programme
2. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
3. Show a clear link between your past studies, this programme and your career goal. Committees look for a story, not a list.
4. Beyond grades, show leadership and community impact with concrete numbers and outcomes.
5. Spend most of your time on the criteria with the highest weight in the selection breakdown above.
6. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
7. "Rolling" or "varies" does not mean unlimited time. Funds are awarded as applications are reviewed, so apply early.
