  • How did I get a fully funded scholarship on my first try?
    How did I just try it and win the chance to study in Europe?
    I seek to answer this questions to motivate you to start the process of achieving this, of course if you desire it.
    It is a bit too long, but trust me and watch to the end. I only hope my honest story time, unfiltered and undiluted scholarship journey will inspire you.

    Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this video and your tips with us.
    If you have the time, I hope you can answer these questions:
    1. The program I plan to apply to asks to submit a Europass CV. A common tip for those applying to graduate school is to have a concise CV. Due to the Europass CV, a CV that is less than two pages turn into four. Would you happen to have any tips on how to craft a concise CV using the Europass template?
    2. Do you advise explaining the need for the financial scholarship on the Letter of Motivation or saving it for the application form section dedicated to "additional information?"
    Thank you very much once again, and keep safe.

    • @dorothybuatsi
      @dorothybuatsi  Před rokem +2

      1. I would advise that you pick only points that relates to the course. You don’t need everything to feature on your cv.
      2. For Erasmus Mundus, your motivation letter should focus on you and your achievements and interests. Everyone who applies within the application timeframe will be considered for the scholarship. Just make your documents and letters good enough to be shortlisted.

    2. For the documents submission, are they done online? If I have different courses I applied to, will I send them individually if submission is done physically(through a logistics company)?

    Hi , how long did it take for the results of your application to be announced and how long does it take for you to start school from the day of receiving your results?

    • @dorothybuatsi
      @dorothybuatsi  Před rokem +2

      For announcing of results it can take up to five months. So if you applied in January, and receive news in April, you have to get your travel documents in order and be in school by September.
      Só more or less, this is how it should work but not all programs do it this way.

      To prove your proficiency in English, you need to prove either a certificate from proficiency exams. In my case, there was a waiver of such, however, a letter from the educational institution I attended stating I was taught in English was accepted.

    • @dorothybuatsi
      @dorothybuatsi  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It is advisable to apply for a program that relates totally or somewhat to your academic background to increase your chance of getting selected.
      Does the program you want have any link to your Economics background, and is it one of the possible course requirements for this program you wish to do?
      However, I personally think it is not impossible but you have to be able to share why you want to change your field and why you are the best person despite your different course.
