This kind of thing cannot be done without a good enough preparation but you made it structurally and clearly. Aptitude is always important but attitude is more, so proud of you.

[@fatimaali1837]

Hey!!!! Loved the video and its really informative but i would really appreciate if you could share the topics/questions of the essays you were asked to write.

[@user-jm2px5fz4h]

Congratulations Kok! You're an inspiration to many including me. Sending love from the Philippines! I would like to ask how you got nominated by your high school, did you ask them to nominate you or was it the opposite way around?

[@arnencha]

Thank you!!! It's my honour to be able to inspire everyone! My high school nomination process was 1. The school made an announcement for students interested in this scholarship to sign up (it's not their first time nominating for this) 2. I signed up, sent in my portfolio and had an interview 3. The school announces who they would nominate from their selection process.

[@LePhuc-zv5zv]

Hi, I want to ask did you receive the scholarship at the same time as your normal admission offer or do you have to wait for the scholarship after getting accepted by the school?

[@SalmanKhan-sk3ib]

Hello arnencha,is there still some time to apply for 24 september intake?or is L.B.Pearson available for the mentioned time

[@letstrytodream]

hi kok! i have a few questions, i'm in my first year of highschool (igcses) and wanted some qualifications when i (hopefully) apply near the end of 2025. 1) when you talk about post-secondary, do you mean you can only apply in your final year of gcses? so you cannot do a levels if you want to apply for this scholarship? applying in year 11 2) if you do not mind me asking, where you at like the "Top" of your classes? in terms of grades 3) what did you do for yourself to be deemed a "leader"? any other helpful things i should keep in mind during the next years building up to the scholarship :-), sorry for so many questions, and thank you for the video!

[@arnencha]

1) I believe you can still do a-levels, as they are just credits for post secondary, not you 'attending post secondary school' 2) Not at the top at all in term of grades ahaha, this scholarship doesn't really consider grades so 3) You can check out my portfolio linked in my description!

[@ENJAMBMENT]

ยินดีด้วยนะครับ ผมเองก็กำลังจะเริ่มปีหนึ่งที่ UofT แต่เป็นที่ St. George campus ครับ

[@arnencha]

ขอบคุณค่าา Let's both enjoy U of T!!

[@vanessafeng7328]

hi! thank you so much for your informative video. I have a question about the residence support that the scholarship provides - is there guaranteed housing? Can you choose any type of rooms (single, double) at any residence (chestnut college, trinity college etc)? Is there a limit that the scholarship will pay for your residence fees (e.g. max $15000 residence support per year?) thank you so much!

[@chwbea]

thank you for the informative video it really helped. but i couldnt understand how can i have like a relevant impact on my society such as my school. like what can i do to achieve to have that impactful persona?

[@eishahamayun3384]

Next video should be about you reading your LBP essays pleeeaseee. There is literally no video/information on internet/youtube about that. There is some for other universities and scholarship but idkw there is none for this very scholarship. ALso, the essays can't be copied as they'll be instantly spotted for plagiarism. So it'll be really helpful if we can have like an inspiration for essays😭

[@theosk105]

Totally agreed ❤

[@duajalah5710]

i’m wondering if the LBP applications are already sent out? since there’s no info regarding that either.

According to the eligibility, unfortunately yes, you would no longer qualify for this scholarship as it states that you must have never attended university before recieving this scholarship.
