No Twitter thread of scholarships will open the door to funded graduate studies, unless you take the next steps.
I’ve advised many people on grad school scholarships and within 15 minutes, I can almost rightly predict who will get a scholarship in a year or two.

These are the attitudes I’ve observed from those who are successful.
1. They understand they are entering into a competition.
A scholarship application isn’t something you just submit hoping that vibes and insha allah will make the committee select you.

Will you compete at the olympics without training? Will you run a 10k without preparing? You have to put your best foot forward and do everything to build a competitive profile. Some people already have competitive profiles, but others may need to build one strategically.
2) People who get scholarships understand the power of research and are willing to dedicate TIME to it.
Research takes time. You have to find the right programs, scholarships, supervisor then you need a deeper level of research to demonstrate your competence. Resilience is key.

4) People who get scholarships demonstrate quickly that they are a good return on investment for the scholarship body or the school.
Paint a picture of your bright future. Make the school/ organization understand that it’s in their best interest to have YOU in their school.
