Scholarship, TOEFL, IELTS, International EducationAbstract
In today's increasingly globalized world, competition for higher education is increasingly intense, with many students aspiring to study at prestigious institutions at home and abroad. Selection scholarships play an important role in this process, as they offer financial support to talented students who lack financial means. Therefore, a seminar was held with the aim that students can better master TOEFL and IELTS for the success of the scholarship selection process they will face and with the hope that it can support the readiness of students as participants in seminar activities. This seminar covers effective study techniques, exam strategies, and resources, emphasizing the importance of English language skills in achieving academic and career success globally. The result of carrying out this activity was that the participants felt more understanding and confident in the preparations they had made. Apart from that, interest in taking part in scholarships for students has increased much more, so that this seminar activity can be successful in providing more knowledge to students.
