Hi

I'm from Brazil, 29 years old and I have a bachelor degree in electronic engineer by the University of Pernambuco at the end of 2006.

My graduation work was a research about electronic device made with organic material (OLEDs). After my graduation, I started to work in a construction company, a very different field of my studies. But I always tried to learn about what I really like, that is development of new technologies.

New electronic technologies is what a like to research and develop, this what make me feel good and completely.

I'm hardworking and focused in everything that I do.


In my free time, I tried to develop a method to combat the piracy in movie theatre, which is very simply.

A few years ago, I heard about augmented reality technology and I started to think about the incredible opportunities that this could bring. I also tried to make a low cost augmented reality glasses, but was hard to find someone interested in this like me.


I want to make a MBA in this field, with the intention to work in that area of product development and inoovation.
I searched for some universities but it's too expensive for me.

I'm looking for an advice from you, how can i try to get a full scholarship (if it's possible), or if it's possible to work during my studies.

I know that most universities require an english test and Gmat. I'll try to make these tests this year.

Thanks in advance.



Thank you in advance and I wait for your reply

Well who gets scholarships? In general, very strong candidates. the schools give scholarships to those who they absolutely want in their course. So what it means is that your stats and profile should be much better than your competitors at the schools you are applying. For example, if you have a generic IT job with no leadership and a 700 GMAT you can be a good candidate to get into NTU, but it may be unlikely that you get a full scholarship. With a 780 and three years in PE and loads of lovely volunteerwork though, then your chances of getting money go up. So if getting a scholarship is very important, you gotta calculate in your strategy that you should apply to a few schools in which when compared to the other candidates your profile is better than average.
