Dear my readers. I would like to apologize for not posting my new article and latest information on this my only one blog these days due to I am quite busy at this time to prepare myself in selection process of the Endeavour Scholarship Award 2013. All information about the Australian Scholarship can be found on their website, and every one is welcomed to join the selection. Many of you, which have been graduated from the University, or having a Bachelor degree (S1) were recommended to apply for Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) which are very famous than the Endeavour one.
Perhaps some of you do not recognize about the Endeavour Scholarship, well, that will be fine. Based on what I knew from their formal resources can be found that the Endeavour Awards were intended for those who would like to get additional knowledge and information in terms of their educational background and working experiences altogether
Based on what I knew from their formal resources can be found that the Endeavour Awards were intended for those who would like to get additional knowledge and information in terms of their educational background and working experiences altogether. Basically they are not providing any Bachelor degree, and their financial support does not provide any attempt to pursue any degree in any field of study.
For the referees for instance, you need to provide three referees whose reputation and commitment can be depended on to clarify and nominate the applicant in order to support their chances of being selected by the Endeavour team. I have found one potential referee from Kang Guru Indonesia based in Bali, and I would love to find another two. It was really noit easy as I think, and I am sure of getting through this difficult period of time.
Another important thing from this application is about the area of study I was interested in. Having searched for the whole primary informtion about the courses and subjects available at the website, I have found one or two suitable area of study whose career and prospect were relevant to my working experiences in the field of information and technology.
Unlike the ADS (Australian Development Studies) , the Endeavour Award did not support to finance the applicant to pursue any degree in any area of studies in Australia.

Problems And Difficulties
IF you think of my journey of applying this scholarship withou facing any difficulties and problems, perhaps you were wrong in every way. Just like any one else, I found many problems in dealing with those complicated academic requirements that should be fulfilled by myself as candidate or applicant.
I found many things to be covered and accommodated like filling in the application form and registration form as well. If you have received an application letter from your fave host of institution in Australia, then you have to submit them along with your academic translated transcript in order to obtain formal admission letter or letter of offer.

How about the language proficienty proof of evidence?. Based on the 2013 Endeavour guildelines clearly stated that the proof of language proficiey can be taken through IELTS or TOEFL, but they were more likely supposed to accept both, however the IELTS willl be more preferable. The fees of those IELTS in my city, Pontianak, can be more than Rp.2.500.000,- (Two Milllion and Five Hundred Thousand Rupiahs) which can be very expensive for me to afford.
I have planned to borrow from my wife's money or any friends of mine for this. My plan to take this Endeavour selection was really huge and enormous things nad have planned for years.
If you have planned to take another TOEFL test, then be advised to take the test of the TOEFL in those three accepted catagories, IBT, CBT or PBT. Do you what they were of those IBT, CBT or PBTstanding for?. THE IBT means "Internet Base Test", CBT means "Computer Base Test", and while "PBT" is "Paper Base Test".
If you took the ITP TOEFL whose derived from the PBT then you have to make sure of the score will be useful. The Endeavour team decided not to accept the ITP TOEFL which can be defined as old fashion test of the language. Please be advised to prepare yourself to take any IELTS test as early as possible. Remember that the score of the IELTS can be obtained at least 15 days from the date of the test. I have planned to cover up and complete all those academic requirements beofre the closing date in June 2013.

This is one of my ultimate dreams that I would like to make it true. It will not be easier thing that and cannot be predicted. Insya Allah I will be bale to go through those requirements and ready to face any possibilities of my applicationn result. One thing to be sure of now is I have been working on it, and still in progress. Please do support me and wish me luck with your pray. I would like to study in Australia. (Asep Haryono)
