- Build leadership credentials via student chapters, hackathons, or community initiatives tied to your sponsor's mission.
- Engage proactively with TCP workshops to maximise networking and skills development.
- Reflect on how the scholarship can segue into industry attachments, internships, or eventual employment offers after graduation.
