Holt Educational Consultant - / 15153 4857 Nov 2, 2020 #2This is the most amateur networking essay I have ever read in relation to a Chevening scholarship application. There is no clear professional network developed. These are all academic related, which do not signify a national network created through seminars or training in relation to your profession. The Chevening committee has the reviewers looking for people whose leadership, influence, and professional network all tie together to create the idea of a maturing and emerging professional who has been involved in the profession long enough to create a national network that can benefit not only you, as an applicant, but also add a notable and useful roster of network members to the Chevening scholars network. Remember, you have to explain how the scholarship members will benefit from the addition of your professional network to the community. These are the reasons why I do not believe that your networking essay can be useful to your application.
