In the course of applying for and after winning the prestigious MasterCard Foundation Scholarship to study MSc Geomatics for Environmental Management at the University of British Columbia, Canada, I have been privileged to come across scores of intelligent minds who are also desirous of securing such a great scholarship as a springboard for the next phase of their academic or industry career.
It is common place to hear people congratulate you by saying "ha! You're lucky, you're so fortunate" and so on. However, winning a scholarship is usually far from a case of being just randomly fortunate, or merely due to some divine luck or favor. It is usually as a result of a combination of consistent set of actions aimed at achieving that purpose. While I am a staunch believer in God's ability to bless or crown one's efforts, I am also well convinced that if you do not give him something to bless, then you'll end up with nothing. I have tried my best possible to summarize some of the steps that helped me into the following points.
