Kindly help me go through this ,thanks.
WYH ARE YOU APPLYING FOR PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY PUBLIC HEALTH AT POSTGRADUATE LEVEL? Should not be more than 200 words and previous academic achievement shd be refered to.
My passion in life result from successful achievement made in the area of my career. Recently I have come to realize that it is not good enough to have good intentions, there are criteria for attaining greatness.
Ever since I was old enough to feel pain and suffering, I had made up my mind to fight these two enemies in my environment. Because of my background, I have come to realize that acquiring knowledge is the only weapon I have available; I am resolved to wield it effectively to achieve my goal.
I have distinguished myself with diligence and determination in my academics since my secondary school days. In my undergraduate days, my hard work yielded dividends in that I graduated as the best and only student in my set. I also was the overall best student nationwide in the qualifying examination in public health examination which was conducted by West African Examination Board. I graduated with honors. With my focus on my dream,I joined a community based drug trial research team immediately after graduation as a field officer and nurse. I was able to reach the people, especially women, in my community through education and mass mobilization to enhance positive behavioural change.
During this period I was given a scholarship to attend the Microbicide 2006 Conference held in South Africa, as an upcoming scientist. I came back with renewed zeal and vigour to contribute to conducting successful clinical drug trials in my community. I saw the need for women, the most vulnerable group, to have access to a gel that could prevent HIV.It was then I realized without a Masters degree in public health, I have no chance to work in the research institute where my contribution is needed. This made me apply for this advanced degree and I have been given a conditional offer of admission.
I am therefore applying for this scholarship which if given will make my dream come true. Mine is a case of a young woman with the wits and mind to excel at this course but my current financial situation may pose a threat to the fulfillment of my dream. If given this scholarship, along with my savings, I will be able to pay my way through this one year programme that will determine how far my "noble" intention of seeing to the health of the populace in my community can be accomplished.
