information dealing with how to join EPIC CAMP with some tips and tricks.

are in November. YUP! November, meaning that the registration will be closed
soon! Prepare yourself. Oh My God, Gomez. Why do you
tell us just now? It’s near the due date! I
am very sorry to tell it too late, but I promise you to share something good
below, Okay? Calm. . In my opinion it is the right time to share
this things, and for you, it is the right time to prepare yourself. Oh, come on. Stop going round and round. Oh, Okay, here it is.
Info #1;
CAMP EPIC usually opens
the registration on October to November.
As one of the conditions to apply this camp, you need to be on your last year of your study, it is focused
on English teacher. But, if you already teach and not coming from Education
background, you can join as well since some campers come from English Literature
Department.

form) to start writing what is needed. Usually, in the application form will be
needed the information of your
curriculum vitae, your reason joining the camp, your future plan and your
recommendation from a lecturer or Head of Department. You can start
completing those form before the due date.
Here are some tips and
trick to write an application;
- · Don’t forget to be honest to yourself in writing the answer.
Write
what is actually happened to you. Write your reason or answer as honest as
possible. You may make it simple but you get them the point of your answer.
- · Don’t forget to use “Netiquette” when sending or replying an email.

office will contact the participants by email. So, you sometimes need to ask
question or maybe reply them. Don’t forget to use formal words, simple and
clear subject and right signature.
- · Don’t ruin your application form by many attachments.
If
the form actually is in one complete document, don’t try to separate them. When
you got the form in one full package document, don’t try to unpack them. You
also need to be careful to the file attachment that you send. Don’t forget the
size limitation of the documents.
- · Be familiar with technology.
Yupz,
everyone. In filling the application form, you need to type, scan documents and
maybe sign on it. You also might to scan or resize your photo to make it fit
into email. You also maybe need to use some applications to do your work such
as converting or etc.
So,

internet to help you. Friends who had experience in applying for scholarship
may help you find easy way to complete the form.
Also,
make your application form neat. Don’t ruin the bullet point or the space form
question to question. Type it well.
- · Proofread.
Before
submitting your application form, don’t forget to check the spelling,
punctuation, and the grammar error. Remember that good sentence is the sentence
that is simple and understandable. Don’t use flowery words that will ruin your
contain of essay.
- · Don’t submit the application form more than the due date.
This
is the rule. Ha.Ha!

several weeks to know that you passed. It needs times because the amount of
participants who enroll this camp are fantastic. For the last camp, CAMP EPIC
