How to Get Your Scholarships Abroad?

2

You need to PLAN! 1. Why do you want to gain higher education? Is it for your professional carrer? Or for being a lecturer? Or other

reasons?

2. What subjects are you really interesting at? Do you want to enhance your skill in structural geology, or petroleum

geochemistry, petroleum geoscience, etc.?

3. Where will you obtain your higher education?

in UK (ICL, UCL, Aberdeen, RHUL, etc.), US (CSM, UoM, Penn State,

UCLA, ect.), Kanada, Australia, Norway, Holland, etc?

4. When will you have this degree? 2016/2017/2018/5 years later?

You need to PLAN!

But the most important question is :

How and what will you do to reach your higher education and get your scholarships?

4

The First Step You Need to do

• You’ll gonna need an agenda and a square calendar to mark the application deadlines

• Do research about your master degree’s outline courses, the syllabus, duration, employment rate, graduate satisfaction rate, etc.

• After you decided your dream campus, you need to look for the scholarships which available.

Some scholarships provide a partial fund, and some of them give a full sponsor (LPDP, Chavening, Erasmus, NufficNESO, etc.)

You need to make sure whether the scholarship which you’ll apply, covers all the costs.

For example :

1. LPDP covers all costs, at cost, but

2. Chavening scholarship covers all costs, but the tuition fees will be payed maximum of GBP 15,000. Petroleum Geoscience’s fees in UK reach GBP 27,100

so you need to be very careful on which kind of scholarship you’ll apply.

1. In this process you really need to be very patient, you have to work very hard for this!

2. Make yourself deserve this scholarship, because it is, indeed very competitive and such a stiff competition. You have to compete with thousands other applicants.

3. Because…success is build everyday, buddy. Make yourself unique than others.

4. But everything will fall in its place, don’t worry.

5. If you fail, try again and again. God knows the best for you

TIPS :

1. Don’t be lazy to prepare those documents

2. Ask the successful applicants for their guidance, advice, and do not hesitate to ask them to review your documents, in particular, your essays. They know that to do

3. Reduce the errors of your writing

4. Prepare them very well from a long time, not just a one-night-essays. Hey success is not an instant, mate!

5. Submit them ontime

6. Take an English course if you need it,

I took my IELTS preparation in IDP, about IDR 2.4k,

It is quite expensive, so do savings from now,

IELTS UKVI test costs USD 310 now, fyi.

Several documents needed are :

3) IELTS

(mostly campuses in UK, US, Australia, EU ask 6.5 overall score with no score less than 6.0, but the bigger campuses, like Oxford, Cambridge, UCLA, etc. ask higher score)


IELTS

(International English Language Testing System)

1. I presume this is the most difficult requirement

2. But if you study everyday, I’m sure you’ll get a good mark

3. My experience, I bought several books, and studied, exercised the questions, at least 4 hours/day in work days and 8 hours on weekends for about 7 months before take the IELTS.

4. Hey it is harsh and difficult but not that difficult, nor that easy. You just need to STUDY.

5. Once you get 6.5, the whole world is yours!
