Scholarships

So you want to study abroad and you wish to apply for an international scholarship. But how? Where? When? An Internet search under ‘scholarships’ will produce thousands of matches. The information can be overwhelming, which programs? which universities? Which countries? It can be a daunting task to gather all the information, assess all the options and arrive at the best options for you as an individual.

Many scholarship hopefuls simply rush headlong into the scholarship jungle, applying here, there and everywhere in the hope that, perhaps, someone, somewhere, some place will say ‘yes’ to their submission. It’s exhausting and time consuming and ultimately not a very effective way of realizing a dream. The key to success is to step back and assess!

• What are your long-term career goals?
• What are your unique strengths?
• What are your personal ambitions?
• Which countries offer the best options for your personal needs?
• Which universities will accommodate your particular requirements?
….and much more besides.

At CEC we have developed a unique Scholarship Preparation Program (SPP) to help you define exactly what type of study course will best fit your needs and then equip you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to source the very best scholarship option for you. Not only will you discover the best ‘fit’ for you but along the way you will build your personalized professional scholarship profile (PSP) which you will be able to refine and adapt for each individual scholarship application you submit.

The Scholarship Preparation Program (SPP) can be viewed as laying secure foundations and a solid base from which to direct all your efforts and energy into gaining the ideal scholarship award which most closely meets all of your pre-determined and carefully considered needs. The SPP includes

• Academic & Career Assessment and Planning for Scholarship Applicants
• Personal skills analysis – What are my unique skills as a scholarship applicant?
• Personal qualities analysis – What are my unique personal qualities as a scholarship applicant?
• Scholarship goals and objectives – What do I want in my career?
• Developing my Professional Scholarship Profile (PSP)
• Recognizing and defining career achievements

The SPP is a combination of self-paced course work and guide notes with one-to-one coaching from a CEC professional consultant. To find out more about our unique Scholarship Preparation Program please call our office directly or complete the contact form on this site.
