the code of conduct that is followed by all the International students and how they can face their

right kind of help at the right time. I am also aware that to study in such well known and
acclaimed University. I have to be fluent in English language speaking and others. The minimum
amount of score that the applicants must be having is 80% in their highest complete

last completed qualification. This is useful for me because I will be able to have some basic ideas
about the level of hard work and the determination that must be provided if I have to survive in
this university. I feel that this scholarship can be granted to me because I am a good team worker

Australia’s Northern Territory Scholarship
I want the scholarship in the NU or the Northern territory University so that I can grow
and learn in a very safe and also friendly environment. I will also be able to get the coaching and
training facilities from the best faculties in Australia so that there is a proper International or
Global exposure. The opportunities for work after studies like the internship, work
placement, and part-time employment facilities are also one of the unique features
(Studynt.nt.gov.au. 2020). This will ensure that while stepping into the future, I am ready
with all the preparation. One of the most important aspects is that they have a proper
collaboration with the other teachers and the training institutes that are present in the different
other parts of the world like China, Indonesia, Malaysia and others (Osborne et al. 2019).
Community engagements are also one of the most important aspects of this
University. I have good experience in this field because earlier I have taken part in the
P.N.M.N Dental College and hospital-sponsored campaign, where I went for giving free dental
check-up services to people. Apart from this, I have also been an active part of the filed visit in
the water purification plants and the biomedical waste management plants. I have also done
about 930 free treatments as a part of the dental check-up and treatment camp facility for
the community people. This validates that I already have a good enough experience in
conducting the community welfare treatment plants. This shows that I have a good interest in

given to people free of cost.
