Today’s video is for all my juniors who feel like they didn’t get a “good” subject or couldn’t afford admission to a private university because of financial limitations. I see you guys. ❤️
I receive thousands of messages from students studying Arts, Social Sciences, Business, Botany, Zoology, and many other non-STEM backgrounds who think getting a scholarship for a PhD or MRes is impossible for them.
Let’s talk about it.
First of all ,remember this:
✨Is it hard? Yes.
✨ Is it impossible? Never.
If I were in your position, this is what I would focus on:
• Maintain a strong CGPA, especially during the first 2 years of university.
• Reach out to teachers and mentors for guidance early on.
• Try to gain research experience through small projects, assistantships, or thesis work.
• Build your academic writing and communication skills.
• If direct entry into a highly applied PhD field seems difficult, consider doing a Master’s in an interdisciplinary subject first.
• Start researching supervisors in Australia and learn about their projects and research interests.
• Try to connect your own research interests or projects with the work your potential supervisor is already doing.
One important thing to remember:
Scholarships in many of these departments can be very competitive and limited, so building a strong profile is extremely important.
Your subject does not define your future.
Your consistency, strategy, and hard work do.
Someone from your background has already done it before — and you can too
