Dear *ISFites*,

*AFTER OKP INVITATION: WHAT NEXT*�❓

First, Congratulations❗ on your *admission and your invitation to apply for OKP*. This however is the most critical time of your application, *as this stage determines everything*. You do not need to panic because even though it's competitive, you have what it takes to get the scholarship award�. I will make this short but as detailed as possible.

*Requested documents*�

�1. *A copy of a valid passport:*
You must have provided this while applying for the admission. The copy you uploaded then; you can upload it again.

�2. *A statement from the Government Authority,*
if applicable to your country: kindly note, *this is not applicable to applicants from Nigeria, so you can ignore it.*

�3. *Admission letter from Your school.*
This was sent to you when you were admitted. Find it in your email. It is just to ensure you were admitted.

�4. *Letter of motivation*,
answering the following questions: This letter of motivation should be *convincing and very compelling*�. It should have a higher standard as compared to what you wrote to obtain admission.
And as requested, *it should address the questions listed.*

Citing myself as an example�‍�,
I obtained my employers statement from *IAR&T Ibadan* (A research Institute) I stated that I was a *Graduate Research Assistant*. And I stated all the community development project that the company engages in.

*Section A*

*Q1. What is the issue or problem you want to address in your country?*
Here, you can check for an *SDG* that resonates with your course and capitalize on it. In this section, I mentioned the *SDGs Zero hunger i.e. SDG 2* and *Quality Education i.e. SDG 4*. These were the points I highlighted on this section. I was realistic, I didn’t say *I was dreaming to feed the entire Nigeria�� (Unrealistic goal)* through my research, I focused on a community and mentioned that one community at a time, people will have access to cheap and healthy food.

*Q2. How will this course enable you to address this issue*

I believe you know what they expect you to write here�. I will give you a tip�. *Go into the school site and check their leading research in your field* and how you can channel this into your application. State that your *department is currently doing a project* and you’re sure it will help your country)? *Explain the relation of your course as a whole with the issues you mentioned above*.

*Q3. How will you address this issue with your position within your organization?*

Here, just *emphasize on your duties in the organization* and how you can achieve your dreams through it.

*Section B*
*i.e. An employer’s statement*

Your employers statement should be preferably obtained from a *School (tertiary institution)*�, or a *Research Institute*� so far, these are the places I know about but a friend of mine obtained hers from *Ministry of agriculture* so I believe that’s also good. Just ensure your organization is involved in any of the following, as stated in the employer’s statement format�

�Food & Nutrition Security
�Water
�Sexual Reproductive �Health and Rights
Security
�Rule of Law
�Other themes are also allowed, but clearly state it. (You can check the website to confirm if the theme you have stated is part of OKP interests but preferably, find a way to fit your company’s work to the themes listed above.)

Ensure your employers statement is *stamped and signed* on every page. Also, remember to put *date for on every stamp page*.

*Section C*

*Plan of Activities:*
Here, you set achievable objectives for your company and how you intend to achieve them.
When I wrote mine, I included a lot of things I found on my school website and how they can actually be implemented in my company. I also added a few things to ensure it makes sense. *NB: The employer’s statement is very important*. Ensure the time of implementation is between *6months and 1 year max.*

Give utmost attention to your *motivation and EMPLOYERS STATEMENT*
.
No pressure guys, take your time….write, read it over and over and allow people to *check/review/vet* your essays. You can do this…. *Good luck guys*�� and I hope to see you in September ( *for Wageningen scholars*)

With Love,

Thank you very much Jaid. You are one of the best.

Thanks so much for the information. Please, I wish to ask if, 'relevance of the program for the candidate' is same as motivation letters? And if 'relevance for employer' is what you mean by employer's statement?
