Can you describe to us the moment you found out you were accepted as an NCP Scholar?
I was in the middle of a final assignment for a class. I was tired and almost at breaking point. I received an email from the New Colombo Plan team informing me I had been successful with my application. I had a skip in my step for the rest of the day and even treated myself to a bahn mi and an iced coffee from the uni cafes.
