Once you have a list of things you’d like to apply to, there’s a whole bunch of things to look out for before you dive into an application.
“Don’t just apply because it looks great. Know what it’s offering and know what you can offer to it.” — Onyedika Chuke
Do you qualify for this opportunity? Read the fine print. Sometimes things are limited to people with certain passports, of a certain age or career stage, languages, or any number of other criteria. If you’re not quite sure if you qualify, it is always best to email or call and ask before applying. Gauge if you got it, could you actually do it? Some opportunities require a partial or full time commitment that can’t always be balanced with other responsibilities. Unfortunately, not all opportunities are affordable. Some have application or submission fees, others charge a fee to participate, and many don’t cover any or all living expenses, travel, food, housing, or materials.
Sometimes, it’s possible to apply for other funding or find other ways to subsidize costs, but it’s important to take into consideration the additional effort.
