7. Prepare Your Documents Before the Deadline
Scholarship applications often require several documents.
Start preparing early.
You may need:
1. Academic transcripts
2. CV or résumé
3. Personal statement
4. Study plan
5. Research proposal
6. Recommendation letters
7. Proof of achievements
8. Language-test results
9. Passport information
10.Admission application documents
So, you do not have to wait until the final week to contact your referees.
A professor may need time to write a meaningful recommendation.
And don’t send them a blank request saying:
“Please write me a recommendation letter.”
Give them useful information:
_ The scholarship name
_ Deadline
_ Your proposed program
_ Your CV
_ Your statement or study plan
_ Why you are applying
You are making it easier for them to write something specific about you.
