Hey I'm an engineering graduate,wanting to pursue a higher degree in design for visual communication in Uk only catch being that the fee is exhorbitant! I will be applying to the British council for a scholarship...have read nearly all the essays in the scholarship section...would be helpful if you'll could help me start with the essay!
To what extent and in what ways do you expect your study abroad to make a difference to your life and those around?
Hi Divya
I'm also applying for a higher degree in the UK, and you are right, they do charge a lot of tuition fees, especially from non-EU students.
Since I've been writing scholarship essays myself, for the past month or so, I'll just speak from my experience.
Preparation
First, learn as much as you can about your intended course.
Then about the university.
Find out its applications, both industrial and social.
Next, look for its applications in your country (i.e. India)
Finally, make a list of your goals.
Writing
Start by telling why you are interested in that course.
How you are qualified to pursue that degree (i.e. your past degrees, work experience, etc.).
Now, talk about your goals, and how they are parallel with the applications of the course.
How the chosen university will help you attain those goals.
Round it off with something about the scholarship scheme.
Cheers!
Great ideas, here.
What do you think might impress a reader most, Divya? This question is a little bit strange. How do you expect your time abroad to "make a difference" to your life and those around?---- what does that even mean!?
I think you should tentatively choose a research topic in this field... and see visual communication abroad as you explore your chosen topic. What kinds of visual communication interest you? What do you want to accomplish for people? Can you achieve part of your goal while studying abroad?
how the fellowship will facilitate the completion of the PHd at the end of year
Hi guys can you help me how to start on this. I am applying for a scholarship and they wanted me to explain of how the fellowship will facilitate the completion of the doctoral degree by the end of the academic year.
Thank you
Usually a scholarship helps by eliminating some financial constraints.
It is not possible for someone else to write about how financial assistance will help in your unique situation.
If you write a paragraph about your goals and about what is necessary for you to get the degree, we can help you improve what you have written.
WHAT is your academic discipline??
