Danyal’s Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Through the MIT Communication Lab, I have coached over 50 students in applying for prestigious fellowships and scholarships. In this process, I have helped 5 different students receive the Rhodes, Gates, Schwarzman, Knight-Hennessy, and Fulbright awards across different countries. I'm very familiar with the application processes as well as the writing frameworks necessary to build a competitive application.
