I was chosen to receive the Chevening scholarship on my third attempt of applying, and I think I did one major thing differently. First of all, I identified one key area of improvement based on my first two failed attempts, and this was learning how to improve my story telling abilities. I spent hours writing essays and expanding my storytelling technique to help guide me through the interview stage.

Every day I walk in through the North Entrance of the school, I am in awe. I tell myself “Odera you are a student at Warwick Business School.”. This is a huge honour for me, because without the Chevening scholarship, coming here would have been tough. Today I get to attend the best university with the best people and have access to the best opportunities.
