🎯 STEP-BY-STEP PLAN TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP

✅ 1. Choose Your Course and Country

Decide which of the following you’re focused on:

• Course: Medicine and Surgery or Law?
• Country: Where do you want to study? (e.g. South Africa, UK, USA, Canada, Germany, etc.)

For example: "I want to study Law in South Africa" or "Medicine in Canada."

Once you decide, I can recommend specific scholarships.

✅ 3. Prepare Required Documents

Start preparing these essential documents early:

1. Academic Transcripts
2. Certificates (O-levels, A-levels or equivalent)
3. Personal Statement / Motivation Letter
4. Letters of Recommendation
5. CV or Resume
6. Valid Passport
7. Proof of English Proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL – only if required)

---

✅ 4. Write a Powerful Personal Statement

Your personal statement or motivation letter can make or break your application. It should answer:

• Why do you want to study Medicine/Law?
• What are your long-term goals?
• Why are you applying to that specific country/university?
• Why do you deserve the scholarship?

📌 I can help you write or review this. Just let me know when you're ready.

✅ 5. Submit Applications

Depending on the scholarship, you’ll either:

• Apply directly to the university (then the scholarship)
• Or apply through a national portal (e.g., Chevening or Commonwealth portals)

---

✅ 6. Prepare for Interviews

Some scholarships (like Chevening or Mastercard) will invite you for interviews. You’ll need to:

• Talk about your goals
• Explain your leadership or community service experiences
• Speak confidently about your motivation and background

📌 I can help you prepare for this too — with mock questions and answers.
