like how you should apply what is the eligibility criteria how much experience is required and can you show your volunteer experiences if you are a fresh graduate so we are going to discuss everything and I will also share a hack that you guys that how you guys can get more and more offer letters from UK universities from one of the top universities because as you know that in this scholarship you can apply to oord Cambridge Imperial College of London you can apply to LSC London School of Economics like these universities one of the top universities of UK you can study on this fully friended scholarship I will tell you the best strategy to apply in the scholarship and how you can win this scholarship that's the most important part by the way to tell about myself I'm Usman I'm from Pakistan I'm an arasmus M scholar I also won one of the most prestigious scholarship of UK in Cardiff University now I'm here to share my experience with you guys that how you guys can win this scholarship so let's jump into the first step what is the eligibility criteria for this scholarship the eligibility criteria is very very simple if you have two years of work experience this work experience can be your volunteer work can be your freelancing can be anything you just have to show the certificates that you have done this and if you have a startup and you have invested more than 2800 hours which is 2 years then you are eligible to apply in this scholarship the other eligibility criteria is very very simple as this scholarship is for Masters so if you have 16 years of education you can can apply in this scholarship now let's jump into the second Point like how to apply in this scholarship although I will share my screen and I'll show you guys that how to apply in this scholarship but first I would like to tell you guys about the process that which is the main process in this scholarship first you need offer letter from UK University one of the UK University it can be from one of the top universities it can be from one of the lower rank universities you can check the list of eligible universities on Shing website you can find the link of official website in the description and now you have to apply to the university and I would suggest you guys apply much early year before the deadline of scholarship because in UK you can apply in multiple intakes like you can apply for summer intake you can apply for winter intake you can apply for fall in Tech so it's not a big deal in UK to get an offer letter and let me share one hack with you guys that how you can get offer letters from universities first of all I would suggest you guys to apply in more in more universities I usually suggest students to apply in 10 universities at least if your profile is decent select three top universities like Cambridge Oxford LC Imperial College of London even King's College of London of course it depends that in which field you are applying and next three universities you can choose from mid-ranking universities universities like Bristol university university of Southampton University of Birmingham and last three to four University can be a bit lower rank universities like Hart university university of Kent like City University of London so apply in diverse universities so that your chances are better to win this scholarship because in this scholarship the main thing is to get offer letter before applying in scholarship and as I mentioned earlier that this is one of the most competitive Scholarships in the world and if you are aiming for this scholarship you have to be very serious with your letter of motivation because in evening you have to to write a complete essay in four questions you have to mention about leadership I'll show you guys that how you should write your uh sop in Shing I will share my experience which help me to win multiple scholarships first of all you have to mention your leadership skills that in which leadership roles you have been involved and how they help you and how they help the society in your home country because in Shing you have to return back to your home country after completing your studies so it's important to mention everything in the context of your country that how you are going to help your country after your studies so mention your leadership goals in the start and then you have to mention in the second par about the networking that in which networks or memberships you are involved in which organizations you have worked it could be noos it could be professional organizations like American Society of for say like mechanical engineers or materials Engineers or like anything anything related to your field so you have to mention very clearly that which professional networking you have this is really important thing in shiing in the third question you have to mention about why you have chosen UK as your higher education destination why there is something special in UK are you interested in UK's history are interested in the University which is situated in UK in which you are applying or something else you have to be very critical about the things just don't write randomly that you are interested in UK you are interested in UK's history this is nothing just be technical with things I suggest you guys to mention about the university about the programs that you have chosen for example you are applying in Acoustics engineering there is a very very different program of University of Southampton which they are offering in Acoustics engineering I think no other university in Europe is offering that good program in Acoustics as the University of Southampton so you can mention this distinctive things uh about your University which you have chosen in UK so this is very important that be critical be specific about the university that you have chosen and in the fourth question of your sop you have to mention that what are your future goals what you want to do after completing your studies be clear that you have to go back to your Homeland so mention clearly in a statistical manner that what you want to achieve and how much you want to achieve just don't write randomly that I want to work for education in Pakistan after returning back to my homeland country this is not your duty it's an administrative task it it is work of government an individual cannot work in that way as the government can so you have to think like how you can contribute towards your Homeland country it can be creating an NGO it can be educating others by having a status of a professor or a lecturer in a university of your Homeland so it's very important to think about the ideas of your future and be critical I will say again that just don't write randomly it's also important to discuss the benefits of this scholarship although you're thinking that you have to go back to your Homeland country but there are many benefits too first of all you will not be paying any fee and in UK it's like worth studying free you will also be getting stien which is a big amount to stay in UK I would say and the most important thing for me is your network you will be working with all the Shing Scholars you will be collaborating with so many students from around the world with diverse cultures when you work in a society in an inclusive Society you learn a lot by collaborating with people and as it is one of the most competitive scholarships so you will see amazing people around yourself so that's really important now let's discuss what are the required documents for this scholarship so required document thing is very similar to other scholarships but there is one exception you have to get offer letter before applying to the shiing scholarship because in the application portal you need to have an offer letter you can apply without offer letter but your application will not have that value if you don't have an acceptance letter this acceptance letter must be unconditional you can also submit a conditional offer letter by the way the difference between conditional and unconditional offer letter is uh if you apply for a university in UK they will offer you first a conditional offer letter then if you pay some fee they will offer you an unconditional offer letter but some universities directly over uncond add offer letter so it's important to consider that which offer letter you are getting and other required documents are very similar you have to submit a europass CV and if you don't know how to make an amazing CV to win any scholarship check my video on your the video is 20 minutes long but I assure you guys that if you watch that video you will learn a lot that how to make an amazing CV to win any scholarships around the world and the other thing is you have to submit some answer to the questions the motivation questions like your sop the four questions I mentioned earlier and also that's the main thing about this scholarship you have to submit the reference letters for this scholarship you have to have it for this scholarship so these are the main documents which are required for each scholarship I would say there is nothing special so now we can discuss how you can win this scholarship that's the most important part as this scholarship is mainly based on leadership if you have very good leadership skills and also your academic profile is very good just don't mix the things like a academics are more important or leadership experiences are more important they want to have a collective person like who has very good academics and also he has some leadership experiences so that he when he go back to his country he can invest his time his skills to make his homeland a better
