Question:

My daughter has literally applied for dozens of online scholarships, and has not heard back from any of them.  Don’t they ever respond to applications?  She is a 4.0 student and very serious about her next step in college, but is getting disgruntled with the lack of responses.

Answer:

Hi, we understand your frustration about this. This is not over our power to answer on behalf of all these Universities or Scholarships institutions where you say your daughter has applied. It’s entirely up to them who they want to grant (approve) for their scholarship(s). Maximum, what we can suggest is to try to contact directly some of those Universities and check what is going on with your daughter’s scholarship application.

  1. Hello I’m Achan Jackline from Uganda an undergraduate student majoring in tourism and hospitality management at St Lawrence University (Uganda) have been applying for fully funded scholarships since 2019 but never had any luck. What can I do??? Where can I apply and how???

    1. Congratulations on taking the initiative and looking for ways to further your education! While it can be difficult to find fully funded scholarships, there are some resources that you can take advantage of to increase your chances at success.

      First, you should try searching online databases like the Institute of International Education’s Scholarship Search or Fastweb’s database of scholarships. These databases list thousands of scholarship opportunities from governments, universities, foundations, businesses and other organizations so they are a great resource for finding potential funding sources. Additionally, African-specific scholarship search engines such as Africa Scholarships Online or Afrocentric Network also provide more tailored searches that focus on offering funding specifically for students from various African countries – including Uganda!

      You should also reach out directly to universities and government bodies in Uganda as well as international organizations offering grants within the country. For example, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) offers internships throughout India and with luck might offer full scholarships too – check out their website for more information about these internship opportunities. In addition, many universities have dedicated departments that focus solely on student financial aid – reach out directly via email or phone call so they can better understand your needs and interests.

      Finally, consider reaching out to family members or friends who may already have experience applying for scholarships in order to get advice on where best to apply and what strategies were most successful when they applied themselves! It is always helpful to have people who can provide personalized guidance when searching for something this specific like external funding sources applicable only in Uganda. Best of luck!

      1. Applying for school scholarship programs can be a challenging and often frustrating process, especially when you do not receive any response. Here are some steps and tips you can use to improve your chances:

        1. **Review Your Application**: Ensure that your application is complete and error-free. This includes double-checking for any spelling or grammatical mistakes, as well as ensuring all required documents are included.

        2. **Tailor Your Application**: Customize your application to match the specific requirements and focus of each scholarship. Highlight experiences, achievements, and goals that align closely with the scholarship’s criteria.

        3. **Strong Personal Statement**: Write a compelling personal statement or essay that clearly explains why you are a suitable candidate for the scholarship. Share your unique story, challenges overcome, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and future goals.

        4. **Letters of Recommendation**: Obtain strong letters of recommendation from teachers, mentors, or professionals who know you well and can speak to your abilities and character.

        5. **Follow Up**: After submitting your application, follow up with the scholarship committee or organization to confirm receipt of your application and inquire about the timeline for decisions.

        6. **Network with Past Recipients**: If possible, try to connect with previous recipients of the scholarship to gain insights into what made their applications successful.

        7. **Seek Feedback**: If you have applied previously without success, consider reaching out to the scholarship provider to ask for feedback on how you can improve your application in future cycles.

        8. **Stay Organized**: Keep track of all deadlines and requirements for each scholarship program you’re applying to in order to avoid missing any critical steps.

        Remember that persistence is key — don’t get discouraged if you don’t hear back immediately or if you’re not selected right away. Keep refining your approach based on feedback and continue applying to multiple opportunities.

  2. Please I need a fully funded scholarship buh I haven’t been able to get one am a student of Nnamdi Azikiwe university awka Nigeria. I need an undergraduate scholarship to study abroad please

  3. How can I get a full scholarship in Germany and visa to go there. And I also applied to numerous scholarship and I have been waiting for response

    1. To get a full scholarship in Germany, you will need to apply directly to universities or organizations that offer scholarships to international students. You can start by researching universities in Germany that offer scholarships for international students and checking their specific application requirements and deadlines.

      In addition, you can apply for government scholarships such as the DAAD scholarship which is one of the most well-known scholarships for international students in Germany. Make sure to carefully review the eligibility criteria and application process for each scholarship you are interested in.

      As for obtaining a visa to go to Germany, once you have been accepted for a scholarship, you will need to apply for a student visa at the German embassy or consulate in your home country. You will typically need to provide proof of acceptance from a German university, proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay, health insurance coverage, and other supporting documents.

      It is important to start the visa application process as early as possible as it can take time to gather all the necessary documents and schedule an appointment at the embassy or consulate. Make sure to carefully follow all instructions provided by the embassy or consulate to ensure a smooth visa application process.
