Share Your Experience

I had a really positive experience during my six-week mentorship with Lucy. From the beginning, she took the time to understand my career goals and the areas where I needed support. She helped me improve my CV and cover letter, prepare for job applications and interviews, and become more confident in presenting my skills and experience.

One of the highlights for me was securing an interview during the programme. Lucy supported me throughout the preparation process, including reviewing my presentation and giving me honest, constructive feedback on areas I could improve.

What I appreciated most about Lucy was that her advice was practical and tailored to me rather than generic. She was approachable, encouraging and honest, and I always felt comfortable asking questions or discussing areas where I was unsure.

I am leaving the programme with a stronger CV, better interview preparation skills and more confidence in my job search. I would happily recommend Lucy’s mentorship to anyone who needs practical and supportive guidance with their career.

The session was amazing and insightful, all my study abroad plights were answered and the session potentially boosted my confidence that this dream can be achieved.

Good day

This is my first time on the ScholarWaka website and I must say, this gave me a lot more clarity. Now, I know I’d be applying for scholarships with a more informed and stronger approach.

Thank you for this!

All these while I’ve been trying to get scholarships and nothing was happening I kept on facing rejections but after the one on one session and through the constant step by step guidance of Mrs. Lucy I was able to get admitted to two schools in the US with scholarships and even though the Trump administration policy might be a setback now I believe I have seen the light and getting those scholarships has further given me hope that I can get others. I’ll be trying UK and other countries by God’s grace.

Scholarwaka is the new Goldmine for scholarships

Working with Lucy has been a transformative experience for my academic journey. From our very first one-on-one session, it was clear that she doesn’t just offer “advice”; she provides a masterclass in PhD navigation.

Lucy is incredibly well-detailed and patient, breaking down the complex information into manageable steps. What truly sets her apart is her deep knowledge of the landscape, passion, and dedication to achieving success. She didn’t just point me toward general funding but specifically identified scholarships tailored to my unique professional background.

Throughout the process, I relied on her expert guidance to validate and refine my research thoughts. Whether we were brainstorming research topics, fine-tuning my research proposals, or perfecting email drafts to potential supervisors, her insights were always sharp and strategic. She meticulously reviewed my Statement of Purpose (SOP) and kept me laser-focused on meeting tight application deadlines, ensuring nothing was left to chance.

While Lucy is deeply committed to what she does, she is also a mentor who demands excellence. She provides the kind of professional criticism that is necessary for growth; she won’t just tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear to improve. She makes it clear that while she provides the map, you must be willing to put in the hard work to reach the destination.

I am immensely grateful for her guidance and couldn’t recommend her mentorship more highly to anyone serious about their educational aspirations.
