  1. Master in Civil engineering

  2. I am a local Conservationist and an education officer in my country in South West Pacific. Due to Covid-19, the economic situation has been overturned yet govt managed.
    People were affected a bit.
    I am affected however I was accepted to do a one year Masters study in one of Universities in the United kingdom.
    This offer granted to me gives me a feeling that there’s no such disease as Covid-19 existing in the world.
    In other words…I am more than happy as it would be once in a lifetime opportunity to take up a study in the UK.
    I am in desperate need to secure full coporate scholarships or funding to take up this one year study. I have written and enquired to every Scholarship organizations, funders, donors and even few philanthropists one can think come across to assist me. Yet none of them responded positively and others their policies are not in line with my study program to offer assistance. Others their deadline is up already.
    My study is this year (2020).
    Please, would your office consider my plight?

      Dear Felix, if you would like to apply for a scholarship, please read the information given and prepare your application.
      As we mentioned in some posts, getting a scholarship is not always an easy path, and don’t be discouraged. You can try again, until it would finally work. Make sure your application is in line with the type of studies offered, and that you fulfill the requirements. You can as well try to build up your applications with positive arguments and explain why you would be the right candidate for the scholarship. You might not get awarded at the first application but take it as an experience to improve your next application.
