Among the treasured memories, receiving the school's scholarship stands out as a moment of immense excitement that continues to fill me with enthusiasm to this day. I diligently gathered all necessary documents and responded to the three essay questions for the scholarship. Upon receiving my admission, I had only six days left to submit the essays before the scholarship deadline. I am grateful I was able to submit before the deadline and let out tears of relief and happiness when I submitted. When I received the email on June 13, 2022, stating that I was awarded the scholarship, I was dazed and it left me in awe. It was my first scholarship ever, and I will never forget that moment. The application process for the scholarship was very easy and straightforward with the instructions clearly written and I applied after I was given Admission to study at Technology Law LLM. I am also grateful for all the friends and people I came across while studying.
