Writing a CV for Scholarship: A Pathway to Your International Study

Studying abroad can be expensive. Thank goodness! Scholarships help to provide the necessary financial assistance to students. However, there is an enormous competition for scholarships which makes it important to deliberately tailor your requirements such as your curriculum vitae (CV), letter of motivation or personal essay, letter of recommendation,
proof of low income, official financial statements, etc. to give you a better chance. This article will guide you to write a great CV.

When submitting an application for a scholarship, your CV (Curriculum Vitae or Resume) frequently serves as the first evaluation filter to ensure that you meet the basic requirements of the call, that your experience is relevant to the program you want to apply to, and that you are a candidate with the potential to succeed in academic, professional, and personal endeavours.

AHere is a chronological sample of an academic scholarship CV:

  1. Contact Information

This section should be at the top of your CV. This includes your full name (This should be the way it is in your legal documents and credentials), address, phone number (Include your country code), and a professional email address.

  1. Career Goal It is a formal statement of your long-term goals for
    your career. This may include particular achievements like obtaining a
    particular work title, gaining special abilities, or receiving a graduate
    degree. In order to keep on track, it’s helpful to add a deadline for
    completion in your objective statement.
Organizing Your CV for Scholarship

A scholarship application’s academic CV should be concise and focused. It is advised to display to the reader the essential information by using Times New Roman font, bullets, bold, and capital letters. The data must be presented chronologically.
