Congratulations if you have been invited for an interview for the Government of Ghana Scholarship by the Scholarship Secretariat. This is a sign that you are part of the shortlisted applicants for the scholarship after having passed the online aptitude test. The invitation is probably to let you share how the scholarship will help you achieve your academic goals.
We believe you are wondering how you will prepare for this interview. Besides, you don’t know what kind of questions you are going to be asked.
We bring you these commonly asked scholarship questions and how best you can answer them to get you prepared.
Tell Us About Yourself
This is just a straightforward question. This is the time for you to highlight the skills that you have and set yourself apart from the others.
What Are Your Strengths And Weaknesses?
Talking about your strength, you have to give them examples, i.e what you have really worked hard on. In your Weakness, be honest and state them but make sure you convince them by stating clearly, how you are improving on those weaknesses.
Why Do You Deserve This Scholarship?
Do not make the mistake by talking about your G.P.A and other extracurricular activities. Tell them how this scholarship is going to help you achieve your goal.
Where Do You See Yourself In Five Years?
Well, talk about how this scholarship will help you achieve your goals. Are you considering having a Diploma, Master’s degree, or plan to do other things that will help you achieve your goals?
Who Is Your Role Model?
The interview committee is not really looking for who you Model, but they only want to learn more about who you are and not your role model. The person you model tells a lot about you as a person. Just explain to them how their actions inspire you and affect you. Hey! Your Role model can be your father, mother, siblings, and others.
Talk About A Time You Overcame A Challenge.
Just tell them how you single handle challenges. You can give examples of a situation you solved. But note, don’t tell them you were poor in academics and now you are good. For example, I had 3Cs in my first semester exams and now I have 5As and 2Bs. This is not a challenge. Hence don’t talk anything of such.
Is There Anything Else You Want To Add?
This is the time to tell them something they didn’t ask. You can also question them or better ask for a piece of advice.
These are some of the questions you should expect in the interview.
But before that;
Pray before you go
Let them offer you a seat before you sit down
Dress decently and to impress
Be neat and organized
Be confident when answering questions.
Remember to say thank you to the interview committee before leaving
Pray again when you get home.
