Dear Calon Penerima Beasiswa,

Awal tahun biasanya teman-teman yang niat daftar beasiswa sudah sibuk mempersiapkan kelengkapan berkas pendaftaran. Selain skore TOEFL/IELTS, surat referensi, essay juga sangat penting sebagai syarat utama diterima sebagai penerima beasiswa. Setiap program biasanya punya istilah tersendiri dalam mengartikan “essay”. Kadang dengan istilah “ Study Objective”, “Personal Statement”, “Motivation Letter” atau bahkan ada yang hanya dengan menjawab beberapa pertanyaan di form aplikasi dengan batasan kata atau karakter tertentu.

Apapun istilahnya intinya para reviewer beasiswa ingin tahu kenapa teman-teman tertarik ikut program tersebut, dari sekian banyak pelamar kenapa anda layak diberi kesempatan ini, apa kaitan program yang teman-teman ingin pelajari dengan pengalaman dan jurusan sebelumnya, dan yang pasti apa dampak/kontribusi anda setelah kembali ke Indonesia. Nah….makanya essay sangat penting untuk merubah status teman-teman dari pelamar (applicants) ke penerima (recipients) beasiswa.

Please give me suggestions!

Dear Readers,

I have been receiving a lot of page views lately. Perhaps because it's the so-called 'scholarship hunting' season? Well, I do hope that my blog posts have been useful for you so far. I'm also trying very hard to write more new posts. I'm currently preparing the 8th post for the 'My Fulbright Journey' series. So please look forward to that!

In the meantime, please give me suggestions on the topics that I should post about. As I get more readers, I want to write more for you guys. Not just because I really want to procrastinate and ignore the fact that I have 3 papers due next week (Warning: Anak baik jangan ditiru ya...LOL).

Please take a minute to vote on the following poll. If you have topic(s) that wasn't included in the poll, feel free to comment below! Your input is greatly appreciated.

Semangat!

Searching for Courses, Universities, and Scholarships!

Hello dear readers!

I am finally uploading something again! And if it wasn’t for the fact that this is actually an assignment for this course that I am currently taking (Multimedia in Professional Communication), I might not post anything until next month during spring break! But hey, here is a new post in video format!

Hopefully this video will be able to help you in your ‘adventure’ to pursue a degree abroad. Go ahead and click that play button! You know you want to! *Wink*
