Top Five Reasons Why Students Miss Out Of Scholarship Opportunities,According to the message we preach, there are a lot of
opportunities available for anyone that will explore them,
there are a lot of people waiting to pay you for what you
can do without cohesion- your hobby. A lot of petroleum
companies dish out scholarship opportunities yearly, but
over the years, even some so-called brilliant student
miss out of it, and they struggle to live a fulfilling life.
We quickly look at the top five reasons why students fail
to get successful on the stage of opportunities. The
recent failure at the Etisalat literature fiction
competition says a lot. The failure was not due to bad
submissions, but there are more to it.
1. Fear of Failure
Fear of Failure is a great sickness that has bedeviled the
African Continent for decades, the failure of not trying
hurts more than the failure after trying. Trying is not
an offense, Thomas Edison is a testimony to this. Many
students are afraid of failing in a scholarship, they are
afraid of being ridiculed. But the decisions made by
ourselves are the real things that makes us who we are.
Try an opportunity today, and see that fear is also
afraid of itself.
2."Nothing goes for Free" Mentality
I once inteview a brilliant friend sometimes ago on why
he does not apply for competitions and related offers.
He simply put "do you think anything goes for free in
Nigeria?"
Yea, there are lots of freebies out there for people who
deserves them, but if they don't show up, then those
who doesn't, gets it. There a real scholarships that you
don't need a dime to get it.
3. Lack of intensive Efforts
If many students had taken the war of scholarships to be
the war of building a G.P as an undergraduate, they
would have been scholarship winners. But most times
students only put effort into reading for their test, and
only make a scholarship to be 50-50 chance. Put your
best into anthing you're doing, it pays, no time or effort
is a waste.
4. Indecisive Nature
Some students don't know what they want, maybe to
travel out of Nigeria to study or stay in Nigeria. By so
doing, they take anything that comes their way, and call
it destiny. No! It's not, Know what you want and don't
settle for less.
5. Over-dependence on Parents
One thing is sure, no matter how rich your parent may
be, the money your parents gives you can never be
enough. So, getting another source of income as a
scholarship is not a bad idea. But some students choose
to depend on their parents for every dime, so they don't
take up opportunities.
This are the key reasons, adjust your self today and
place yourself at the centre of opportunities.
