Well, in my previous post, I have already shared about what EPIC CAMP is. If you have not read it yet, please click HERE to know more about EPIC CAMP. Now, I want to share information dealing with how to join EPIC CAMP with some tips and tricks.

In 2017, EPIC CAMP was held on January, but the registration started from November, 2016. So, now we 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. 

After knowing the information about the registration, you can download the file (application 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.

RELO 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, please be familiar with it. Or, you can ask your friends, other experts or 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!

It needs times because the amount of participants who enroll this camp are fantastic. For the last camp, CAMP EPIC 3, the number of participants are about 500 to 600 participants.
