Extracurricular achievements, letters of recommendation
Extracurricular activities are also a way to create a good advantage, if you have impressive achievements will help you score points in the eyes of the school. You don't need to list too many that will cause confusion, but focus on describing activities you know well and enjoy.

If the verification information is incorrect, your scholarship application will be refused.
Study plan
This study plan will explain your study rationale and goals. A logical, coherent, and rigorous study plan will impress the admissions committee and help you stand out from other applicants. You should clearly state why you chose that program, your passion for the industry, and your career goals.
