I'm literally shocked. 😳😳😳

As we exceeded all the expectations. 🚀

A total of 💶 27,140€ and 💷 54,000£ is the sum that SpeakBright helped to raise for Bachelor and Masters studies abroad for 6 successful applicants in just 4 months of it's existence. 🚀

This is NUTS 🤯🤯🤯
And that is so encouraging 😃

These five individuals were incredibly dedicated and thorough in their application process. In just a few months they are going to join their new classes in:

The United Kingdom 🇬🇧
The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Estonia 🇪🇪

⬛ ⬛ ⬛

Here is a short story about them:

All these bright minds wanted a new quality step in their careers and educational aspirations. All of them were tirelessly working in the regular jobs in the daytime, and working second jobs in the evening and night applying abroad.

It can be exhausting if you do it alone. That was the reason I founded SpeakBright. It's easier together.

Yes, we:

• Stayed up until 1-2 AM;
• Brainstormed all sorts of motivation elements for essays: from a career outlook to university selection, from leveraging networking capacity to personal weaknesses and strengths;
• Re-wrote those motivation letters dozen of times while staying worldwide; having calls in cars, offices, even randomly walking around the forest - we brainstormed because there were things that were worth improving right away;
• Did up to 7 training interviews until the candidate was super-confident while answering questions from the selection committee;
• Went through all the burden of submitting endless documents.

There were failures and rejections letters as well. There were frustration and discouragement.

But in the end, I know how important it is to have support in times of losses. Keep inspiring and keep applying. That what SpeakBright helped with.

And all these efforts have finally paid off.

Now each of these superheroes received substantial scholarships, that allow them to fully focus on their studies and experience life-changing time living abroad.

⬛ ⬛ ⬛

Now, as we worked silently for the last five months and were testing the page + website, today we start active grants/scholarships promotion.

After such a victory we want more. More of you succeeding with outstanding applications for the opportunities you deserve.

⬛ ⬛ ⬛

For obvious NDA reasons, we can't share personal information about the applicants. Though we will soon publish anonymous feedback and impressions from our applicants here on the page and on the website.

⬛ ⬛ ⬛

Now I want to ask you:

SpeakBright was always a unique place, almost like a moonshot-club, where we praised human potential and boosted opportunities for individuals.

And today we crave for the moonshot ourselves.

To better understand, where SpeakBright can bring the biggest value, we applied to UNLEASH - a global innovation lab that brings together people from all over the world to Singapore to transform 1,000 personal insights into hundreds of ideas and build lasting global networks around the Sustainable Development Goals.

For us Quality Education matters, Human capacity is endless,
and opportunities to leverage the potential are tremendous. The ideas of SDG4QEducation resonates in our mission, bringing us to the point where we need an international dialogue to better understand what solutions we can bring to our local communities in Ukraine.

We already helped many individuals to get better educational and professional opportunities in their life, carefully counseling their journeys in applications and revealing new possibilities.

Today, we are looking forward to joining the UNLEASH Innovation Lab in May, to join the incredible community of forward-thinkers, get a broader perspective on education and
bring ideas back to Ukraine.

Thank you everyone who joined and works with SpeakBright today. We hope to bring good news on the application to the innovation Lab later this week and obviously keep you updated if we are lucky to join the summit.

Sincerely,
Your SpeakBright Team
