How the scholarship has positively impacted your academic journey or personal growth?
Receiving the tuition fee reduction scholarship at the University of Pécs Faculty of Pharmacy has truly been a life-changing experience for me. Before being awarded this scholarship, one of the few challenges that got me worried was the financial burden of my tuition fees payment which often overshadowed my academic aspirations until the Dean’s tuition fee reduction scholarship programme was initiated by the administration of the faculty. At first, I couldn’t believe it but I decided to give it a try on a trial basis and then lo and behold! I was awarded the scholarship. I was so much amazed that my joys knew no bounds when I got the news of the tuition fee reduction award. As such, receiving the tuition reduction scholarship at the University of Pécs Faculty of Pharmacy became a game-changer for me. I thought to myself “if I could do this why not work hard and apply again”. And providentially, I was awarded the scholarship the second time. From that point onwards, this wonderful opportunity has allowed me to pursue my academic goals without the burden of financial worries, enabling me to excel both in and out of the classroom. Most importantly, it has not only provided me with the means to excel academically but has also instilled in me a sense of responsibility to make the most out of this opportunity, facilitating my personal growth and grit, and the ability to understand that with the right focus and dedication I can achieve anything I need in life.
