1. ππ¦ππ’π₯ ππππ: As soon as you see a scholarship advertised by a professor, email him/her immediately. The first ones get noticed. Later your email gets disappeared in the rush.
2. πππ¦π ππ¨π§π π¬ππ²π₯π ππ§π π¬π’π³π: Make sure that the same font style and font size are used throughout your email's body. Any mismatch shows that you have copied content, which might give the impression that you are lazy and careless.
3. ππππππ‘π¦ππ§ππ¬: Attach important documents such as CV and transcripts upfront with the email. Facilitate the professor, don't make him/her ask for these documents.
4. ππ«π¨π¨ππ«πππ: Thoroughly proofread your email to make sure that any titles and names (e.g., professor's name, lab's name, university's name) are correct. Any mistake here will display a copy-paste approach.
5. ππππ© π’π ππ¨π§ππ’π¬π: Professors don't have time to read long emails. Focus on key points - your publications, alignment of the research background, GPA, graduation school, English score, etc.
