I’m from Bangladeah!
It's already 4th july. I couldn't do any paperwork yet, nothing nothing.

My biggest obstacle is my family. They don't want me to go. Without marriage or a husband, it's impossible for me to leave. I've been stuck in this cycle for six years—sick, unhealthy, unhappy. Still, they are like stone. They denied me again today. Everything i wanna be serious and talk about it! They start with making fun of me! Then noting down my failure in life. Then the arguement over and over and over again! Because i’m a girl! Like it’s a curse! Like i can’t go just because i’m a girl!

Even after they said before, "Go if you think you have the qualifications." But now? They deny again. I don't see any options anymore… i’m loosing hope , getting depressed again, got myself anxiety issue over six year.

Is there any way I can email my problem to anyone? Any university? Because all my papers belong to them. Everything… anything can could help me! I know i sound crazy! Like anything that could help me! my family is not abusive! no! They just strong in their belief a girl shouldn’t go abroad alone without a husband! They saw me cry, beg, starve myself, avoid them, getting sick! But still they stood on their ground!!!!

Is there any way for me? Because it's not like Europe—I can't just move out of my family. It's impossible in a country like this. The country doesn't work that way…

So what can I do now? Marriage and career are both different, and both important in different way! and I don't want to mess up both just because I want a scholarship… marriage is marriage! Scholarship is scholarship!

Any suggestions? Any way? Because I badly want to apply for SK. 100% scholarship, in under graduate . Because i don’t even have money to apostille my paper, or to attend ielts! I believe I'm in a position where I'm willing to give my 100% to my studies, if I get one. I’m hsc -2020.. i’m under 25. So it’s my last chance! And i afraid also, without your parents blessing you can’t be successful. It’s just my father. What can i do???? And suddenly it’s my brother’s wedding too, so, everyone is scolding me because I’m ruining the fun with my scholarship fight again.

I'm from Bangladesh. I'm 24. I have a gap in my studies and I'm terrified that will disqualify me, but I'm still under 25 so I know I qualify on paper. The problem is—I've never done official paperwork in my life.

Attestation. Notarization. Transcripts. Embassy procedures. Study plan. Personal statement. I don't know what any of this really means or where to start. Every time I try to research, I get overwhelmed and shut down. I've been stuck in this cycle for years, and I can't afford to stay stuck anymore.

I've waited so long for a chance like this. I've dreamed of leaving, of building a life that's mine, of finally being free from the pressure and expectations that have crushed me for years. This isn't just a scholarship to me—it's my escape. It's my last real chance to change everything before I lose myself completely. I didn’t had my family permission to apply before, they are still upset about it, as i was in fourth year of my undergrad in physics.. which i didn’t wanted. (I know a lot might suggest me for masters, but trust me, it’s full of fail! Not because i couldn’t handle physics it was just a rebellious act from me. but, now that i think about it, i cant undo past, but i still have time to change my future, and i‘m desperate for it.

I didn't fail because I couldn't study. I failed because I stopped caring about a path I never chose. Got depressed! Now i think, it’s enough! i need to move now!

If you've applied for GKS before, please walk me through the process like I'm five. What documents do I actually need? What do I do first, second, third? Are there any hidden steps that no one talks about? If you're applying this year too, please reach out. We can help each other. I don't want to do this alone.

I'm also considering Ewha EGPP if anyone knows about that and can compare it to GKS.or if you guys want to suggest me some other 100% scholarship in sk?

Please don't ignore this. I know I sound desperate—because I am. I have one chance this year and I'm terrified of messing it up because I didn't understand a form. Or i’m just burnout! panic everytime i start to think,

and i need an out now, normal southasian family, all they want now is to settle down with marriage.

Please help me. Even one person. Even one step at a time.
