Studying abroad is a dream of everyone. Not only in
Bangladesh but people from every other parts of the world want to study abroad
and if it comes with a scholarship then it’s like dream come true. Why scholarship is so special? The answer is
very simple for a general people. For them it’s an honor and a scholar doesn’t have
to worry about money. But there are plenty reason which a normal person or a
student won’t know and understand until they get it.
As an ICCR Scholar I
had an opportunity to study in India. While applying for the scholarship I had never thought what this scholarship will bring me and had never imagined of getting
this scholarship. But after getting the scholarship my life changed in a
glance and I was astonished to the factors, what ICCR will bring to me. So, from my experience I want to put light on
the special factors a scholarship has -
Money Factor-
While talking about scholarship, the first thing comes in
mind is of course money. Money speaks. In a full scholarship the money you will
get is plenty for leading a normal life. If the government is taking your
financial responsibility, it means you are tension free. Until you have the
scholarship you can lead a life full of fun and liveliness. But if you have a habit
of spending countless, then scholarship is not for you. But I can assure you with
a proper spending of scholarship money you can study, party and roam around easily.
From my experience I have enjoyed ICCR full scholarship which includes ,
plane fair for two times , stationary fee per year, accommodation and living
cost and even thesis cost along with the
tuition fees which reduces the burden of money.
Security Issue-
A scholarship student
gets full security from the government. Each and every action of him/ her is being
monitored. As the government of the particular country takes the responsibility,
so it’s assures the security of the student. He / she does not have to worry about
the security while staying in aboard unless she / he are involved in something illegal. Even the international centers on behalf of government keeps
an eye on if there is any security issue what a normal student studying in
abroad does not get . It’s like having an invisible guardian along with you all
the time.
Effortless Visa and Immigration-
When a student gets a scholarship, the visa and immigration
system becomes easier. Generally the embassy processes the visa, so that the
student does not have to worry about getting visa. Just give the required
document and you are done. Even if its urgency that you got to know about the
scholarship late and not much days to start the class, its embassy that will
take care of it.
Easy Admission and Accommodation-
In scholarship the
admission process is easier. The effort you have to give will be far less than
a general student. In India under ICCR scholarship scheme all the scholars’
admission has been done by the international center. The students just have to
collect give an application from the international center and collect the study
certificate. Even the students don’t have to care about the tuition fee. Every
semester we used to see the general students are getting admission, where we
scholars were free from all these sufferings. Moreover, the government takes the
responsibility to secure a perfect accommodation for the student after arriving
in another country.
Monitoring
Educational Progress –
A scholar is always
been monitored by the government if the progress is up to the mark or not. A
scholar can never fail. If the scholar fails in any exam, it takes his/her
right of being a scholar. For this purpose every semester a report has been
sent from the department to the authority to judge the progress. So, whatever
you do, but you have study, otherwise you can lose your scholarship.
Getting Maximum Priority than Others-
A scholar is always
being respected in the society. Scholars are considered as the brightest future
of the nation. That’s why a scholar always gets the maximum priority in a
society. If you are a scholar, anywhere you go, people will set a priority for
you. Especially in the country you are going will also respect you as you are a
scholar for them. I remember after getting scholarship, how people from immigration,
police and even the university treated me. It was something that will make you
proud.
Stay in a Diversified
Culture-
An international scholarship student gets a scope to be with
various country people. As people for diverse part of the world comes with
scholarship as well, so it gives an opportunity to meet and greet people of a
variety of countries. You will get to know about other people and their
culture. Even it helps for the communication skills. You will get to understand
the accent of different country people. So, it’s a source of knowledge about
different parts of the world.
Learning the lessons
of life-
When you get a scholarship
you get to go in a country where you don’t know anyone and anyone doesn’t’ know
you as well. Not only the system, but the culture, lifestyle, language, law,
mindset of people each and everything is new to you. So, you have to adapt with
the situation over there and that will lead you to love the country and accept
them. Even you have to adjust with fixed money which will teach you what life
in real is.
Become Independent-
If you leave your
country physically and don’t take any financial support from your family, than
yes; you are independent. A scholar gets to be independent from his/her student
life. It helps to build a mindset of being independent and support him/ her. It’s
your life, your decision these things can make both positive and negative impact
on you. It’s your decision what you will choose.
It’s a Pride-
Yes, scholarship is a
pride. It’s a pride that makes you different from every other student out there.
It is even an extra point in your CV. This is the thing which will never make
your CV stay in the bottom. . It’s a pride for lifetime to think you are
special and it gives a positive energy to work with full dedication and achieve
a target in your life.
Scholarship is always an achievement in lifetime. If you
have that spark on you to do something in life, to get something more, why not
try a scholarship that worth your dedication. I have already explained why
scholarship is special. So, to go for it or not it’s your decision. But you can
think to give it a try. May b you can be the one.
