Writing a Winning Scholarship Application - DAAD Scholarship

In this class, we're going to be crafting together how to prepare a competitive scholarship application from the beginning to the end (DAAD scholarship as an example). During my journey in preparing applications for scholarships, I did not find a course that focused on all the details of applying for a scholarship. Not only the motivation letter but also all other fundamental steps that certainly make a difference such as the recommendation letters, the CV, and the procedure of the application. This course will be elaborate and supported by an example, which will be applying for one of the most prestigious scholarships worldwide, which is the DAAD scholarship. By the end of this course, you will be able to prepare a competitive scholarship application and be willing to apply properly to the program that fits your desires and existing requirements.
