Opportunities don’t get activated unless you activate it through application. I received a lot of calls recently from students facing one problem or the other in applying for an opportunity or scholarship. On the run, some students get discouraged and quit. This post seeks to address that, as a saying that “problem know is half solved”

1. Scanning of Necessary Documents

No matter how the scholarship is, there’s always a need for you to upload some documents to confirm your eligibility for the scholarship. But some students feels spending money on something you’re not sure of getting is uneconomical. Whereas you can use few android applications to scan your documents.

2. Waiting for Outcome

I always receive calls on topics like “when will the shortlist be released?” On the long tun, many students can’t persevere and they stopped checking their mail for update, and miss out on the opportunity.

3. Lack of Constant Update

Some students apply for scholarship, and hereafter they fail to stay updated on the scholarship informations.

4. Lack of Communication Link between the Scholarship Givers and Receivers

This is far worst as it has caused some aspirants to loose hope on the opportunity they applied for or on tentative ones.

5. Examination/Aptitude Test Complexity

‘will there be test?’ Yes, there’s always tests in virtually all opportunities you apply for, so always prepare your mind to write an exam.
