💬: "Just apply. The worst they can say is no. I had no idea I’d be in the position I am today. I did not think it’d be possible to travel abroad for free, but I did it. We have mentors and resources readily available to those who are willing to seek it. Those who truly want to travel abroad will know how to come across the right people and know the next steps they have to take to travel abroad. It is not complicated. I am the example that you can do this 3 weeks before the deadline and have a scholarship cover your whole trip. All I did was ask and I got answers. I put in the work and I got results. If you truly want it, then go get it!"

There are multiple parts to the application and it essential that you set aside sufficient time and energy to complete it to the best of your ability. In addition, I would encourage future applicants to thoroughly do their research on the different study abroad programs and make sure they choose a program that is truly the best fit for them.
