The Sharjah Excellence Award (and how YOU can apply)

Greetings everyone! It's been quite a long time since we last talked during the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020. Now we've all grown up, accumulated much more experiences and we've basically become better versions of ourselves. So that is why I am writing this today. So that you can become a better version of yourself. So, what exactly IS the Sharjah Excellence Award? Well... being SCIENCE Enthusiasts I strongly believe that the academic achievements category is for you!


 

YOUR Gateway to Success


The Sharjah Excellence Award is more than just a title; it's a platform that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of young minds, particularly in the academic sphere. Think of it as your golden ticket to not just local recognition but international acknowledgment too! This prestigious award highlights students who demonstrate excellence in various fields, with academic achievement being one of the most notable categories.

If you love the pursuit of scientific knowledge and have an insatiable curiosity about how the universe works (yes, I’m looking at you future astrophysicists and engineers), the academic achievements category is tailor-made for you. It rewards students who exhibit a mastery in subjects like physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and other STEM fields.


 

How Can You Benefit from Participating?


Well, just three GOOD reasons:

  1. Recognition: Let's face it — being acknowledged for your hard work feels amazing. The Sharjah Excellence Award is a great way to get recognized for your academic brilliance. You'll join a community of scholars and innovators, boosting your reputation not just among peers but also among professionals in your field of interest.

  2. Opportunities: Winning or even being shortlisted can open doors to numerous opportunities, including scholarships, internships, and even mentorship from top experts in science and education. If you're planning to pursue a career in research or higher education (perhaps eyeing Ivy League schools or IIT [Hehe... that's me!] ), this is an amazing addition to your portfolio.

  3. Networking: You'll meet like-minded people who are equally passionate about academics and science. These connections can be invaluable for future collaborations, discussions, or even projects that could perhaps even kickstart your CAREER!


 

How to Prepare?


I can say from my current experience: If you're planning to compete, preparation is key. I mean, you’re probably already used to pushing yourself academically — but here's where you go the extra mile. Focus on the subjects you're passionate about, but also ensure you're well-rounded in everything else, for example, Volunteering, Personal development, Nationalistic behaviour, etc. Participation in science fairs, Olympiads, and national-level exams like NTSE and KVPY are great additions to your resume.

Another crucial aspect is your scientific temperament — curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity in problem-solving are highly valued. So, it's not just about your grades but also about how you think and apply your knowledge.


Oh... what more do I need to say! You've already come so far since 2020, and this is just another chapter in your journey: So I can only leave you with one thought:


Shoot for the moon; Because even if you miss, You'll land among the stars.



Warm wishes and good luck,

Sreehari
