She is very much looking for doing efforts to get scholarship. I am a simple and small earning person. Pls help and guide so that she can get and acheive her dream

Ans: Hello Saurabh,

First and foremost, thank you for contacting us. It's encouraging to learn that your daughter has high ambitions. Indeed, pursuing a higher education at a prestigious overseas university is a difficult but worthwhile road. While the road ahead may not be simple, there are various steps you and your daughter may take to improve her prospects of admission to a prestigious university and receiving a scholarship. To assist her in realizing her dream, consider the following advice:

1. Academic Prowess: Encourage your daughter to put her education first and aim for academic achievement. Maintaining strong scores in finance and mathematics will improve her prospects of admission to a prestigious university.

2. Determine Target Universities: Conduct research to find the top colleges with robust finance and mathematics programs. Shortlist colleges that fit your daughter's goals and offer scholarships to international students.

3. Prepare for Standardized Tests: Standardized exams like the SAT or ACT are required by several universities. By offering her study materials, mock exams, and, if it's possible, enrolling her in test preparation classes, assist your daughter in preparing for these exams.

4. Extracurricular Interests: Encourage your daughter to join in extracurricular activities that align with her interests. She could sign up for groups or clubs that concentrate on finance or economics in the realm of finance. She exhibits her interest, leadership abilities, and devotion by participating in extracurricular activities.

5. Community service and volunteering: Encouraging your daughter to participate in volunteer work and community service projects will distinguish her from competitors while also demonstrating her dedication to having a good influence.

6. Essay/Personal Statement: Assist your daughter in writing a strong personal statement or essay for her college application that demonstrates her drive, enthusiasm, and future objectives. Underline her distinct experiences, the difficulties she has faced, and how studying abroad fits with her goals.

7. LoRs: Help your daughter establish solid connections with the community leaders, mentors, and instructors who can write recommendation letters for her. Her accomplishments, talents, and potential for success in higher education should be highlighted in these letters.

8. Research Scholarships: Look for financial or mathematical scholarships that are especially designed for overseas students. For exceptional students, several colleges provide options for financial aid and scholarships. To identify relevant possibilities, conduct online research, contact university financial aid offices, and search scholarship databases.

9. Plan your finances: As a low-income person/student, you must plan for the financial aspects of studying abroad. Investigate the associated expenditures, such as tuition, lodging, living costs, and travel. To help with the costs, look into financial aid programs, scholarships, and part-time employment choices.

10. Seek Direction and Assistance: Encourage your daughter to consult with her academic adviser, instructors, and school counselor, to get sage advice and support during the application process. They can help her comprehend the specifications, offer input on the submitted documents, and help her find appropriate scholarship opportunities.

The route to studying abroad and obtaining scholarships might be difficult, but with perseverance, diligence, and the right support, your daughter can fulfil her ambitions. Journeying forward, motivate her to persevere, stay committed, and accept possibilities for improvement. Best wishes on your daughter's academic career!

Hi Anu I am a married woman with a very supportive husband and daughter. For last 10 years I am having an affair with a colleague and things are pretty well between us. Both of us have found the comfort and requisite from each other which we missed in married life and it saved our respective marriage though none of our family are aware of it. We balanced this till now effectively. Recently I got an opportunity within the company which is very lucrative and will enhance my career goals altogether however, for this I have to shift to another state. Now , my bf is very upset on this as it means he will not be able to meet me as we do every day. My husband and Daughter is fine with my shifting however my parents who are old are also apprehensive since I am the only child and do take care of them. My husband has assured to support them in absence of me and I have full confidence on him. All throughout my life I have focused on my professional career and have worked towards that and now when I got this opportunity I am emotionally unstable and unable to take the decision. My dilemma is surrounding various aspects. 1- Don’t want to leave my BF as he is my strength. 2- My parents are old and since I being the only child,they ae 3- If I could not perform in the new role then? 4- The daily hardship that I have to take over in a new place as my husband will not shift. 5- Remuneration wise not as such however if you say power then yes. Learning – knowledge enhancement and career upliftment - yes very much. 6- Current role will not grow much however stability as of now do exists. Can you help me to take the decision ?
Ans: Dear Nibedita,
What is important to you and what helps you grow professionally and personally must be looked at? Constraints are always going to play a role BUT working around it may help you make a decision. If professionally you are going to grow into the role and for this you need to work around things for the time being, then you must do just that. But in all this, do factor that you have a daughter who is still young and will need your presence a lot; physically and emotionally.
Now, how you work this with your BF is something that is between the two of you; but it's not power or money BUT how you grow in your new role.
Also, talk to your family and come to an arrangement whereby they also become your pillar of strength and support. You will then be able to come to a viable decision.

All the best!
