[@jenniferkalemera5916]

you are just reading what is already written in all of the SI forms !!

[@faith.edigold]

@@jenniferkalemera5916 I am not sure if you have watched the full video. If you did, you would realise that I read the instructions to refresh applicants on them (which is one of the biggest reasons for people not being successful at attaining the scholarship) and then I also go ahead to share what a filled-in document would look like. If you have any particular question I did not address in this video, please feel free to ask and I will respond.

[@nelsonasusiya3476]

I'm not here to watch the video, just came leave a comment: You're simply the best in what you do!✨ Your Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Development Impact video forever remains the GOAT!🐐

[@faith.edigold]

This is very encouraging. Thank you Nelson. Truly appreciate you taking time from your schedule to leave me a kind and encouraging word. God bless 🤗🙏🏽

[@sumytamehzabinprome7931]

thanks a lot for this video!! Truly appreciate this as i was really struggling with the questions. Thanks a lot!!!

[@faith.edigold]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adisemosisa2262]

Thank you so much sister

[@Mayriekay]

Thank you. I have learnt alot from your videos. Please when writing the second reference letter based on a social network do I still use the Star technique? I.e identify a problem

[@faith.edigold]

Yes, I'd advise that you do so

[@maferkuontay2520]

Hi Faith! I have a question regarding the networks and civil organizations, when I was in school I was president of the industrial and systems engineers chapter promoting the education, training and research of industrial engineering. Do you think that is considered as a civil society to add to my references?

[@faith.edigold]

Yes, I believe it is.

[@mushfiqurrahmankhanmajlish5003]

Thank you so much for the detailed video. In the reference letter, a text box is given for each question which has a certain character limit (250 characters approximately). Can we write outside the text box? 250 characters are not enough to recommend or display someone's skills

[@faith.edigold]

Please use the space provided for by the scholarship body and maintain the word limit. Be as direct and brief as possible. Try using this to help you put your points across easily kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqi7p2B7ZdWNmNU

[@tienganhthuongmai]

HI Faith, thanks for your insightful video! I would like to ask I am the business owner as well, would you think the business partner or the staff would be a better person to write the letter of recommendation? Thank you so much

[@faith.edigold]

It's better to have the staff write the letter as the business partner may be viewed as a colleague.

[@marianacastroosorio6142]

Great Video, i have a question...the indication say that the maximum number of pages is two, and you have three, which one is correct please?

[@faith.edigold]

The maximum number of pages is indeed 2 as mentioned in the instructions. Mine went over because I made changes to the format for the sake of the example. Please be sure to maintain the format of the form in terms of font size and colour as well as structure.

[@waiis332]

Thank you for sharing this information. My question concerns the reference letter for the scholarship: can we get a letter from our professor as an academic letter or does it have to come from the university administration?

[@faith.edigold]

The letter of reference should be written by someone who has worked directly with you, so yes, your professor can write your academic letter. Please keep in mind that if you have an experience based on your involvement in networks or civil society organizations, this will be an added merit.

[@Selahspot]

I noticed that at the box for indicating how many hours the candidate has worked, the referee added 'hours' to the numbers, is this okay please?.. I thought it should only be the numbers

[@faith.edigold]

It is okay to add units to the number or to forego the units

[@Selahspot]

@@faith.edigold thank you for your reply

[@maureenezea3849]

My question is how to get the letter of reference forms in double. Am l to download it twice

[@faith.edigold]

Yes, you can download the dorm twice.

[@mauriceonyango6501]

This is so encouraging. How can i reach you to help check my write up please.

[@faith.edigold]

[@d.rosa20]

Do you think we have to write 2 letters in 2 different styles?

[@faith.edigold]

The 2 letters are written the same way. One should be written by someone from your current or former place of work. And another is preferably from someone you've worked with during a civil society experience or academic career or also from your work. The format for the letters however does not change.

[@d.rosa20]
