“Many are called, but only very few can make it there” is a phrase in the case of scholarship programs. Many applicants have tried applying for a scholarship scheme but only fewer applicants scale through the fence of scholarship due to misapplication, not following the given instructions, not having the requirements, and other related misplacement situations. The reason many couldn’t get scholarship awards is that they refuse to follow the necessary steps given by those who give scholarships. No one wants to spend his/her money on those who will waste it. The consideration for scholarship applicants starts from following instructions. Those who could not follow instructions have shown signs of seriousness that may cause their application to end up in the trashcan. Here’s another scholarship scheme, you need to follow its instructions as strictly as possible if you want to be part of its recipients.
