Scholarship Essay Accelerator Harvard-Style
We understand that many applicants, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds often believe that scholarships are only meant for “perfect candidates”, those with impeccable records or privileged origins. But the truth is, fully funded programs and international scholarships are not just seeking the highest scores. They are searching for stories that resonate: stories of quiet resilience, unwavering perseverance, and the courage to rise in the face of adversity.
If you've had to fight for your education, overcome challenges that few can imagine, or work twice as hard to rise above difficult circumstances, then your story is exactly what scholarship committees are looking for.
Advanced Essay Mentorship Model
For those preparing to apply for fully funded scholarships or cultural exchange programs, but who feel unsure, overwhelmed, or don’t yet know how to craft a compelling personal statement.
For those aiming for prestigious, highly competitive scholarships, that demand a powerful and authentic personal story.
For those who have applied for scholarships in the past without success, and now want to improve their chances of winning.

What the Experts Say
Dr. Minh Nguyễn
Ph.D. in Medical Science, Albert Einstein College of Medicine (New York)
When I was a student, I applied for every scholarship I knew and was eligible for. So I understand how hard it is to make your personal story stand out among countless others. But perhaps that’s something teacher Phong does quite naturally, having won a number of scholarships himself, big and small. What I truly appreciate is how he designs this course with incredible clarity: starting from identifying your leadership strengths and community contributions, then helping you see your own value, before guiding you to craft a story that truly leaves a mark. Learning from someone as experienced as teacher Phong will not only help you move faster, but further. Whether or not you end up winning a scholarship, you’ll walk away from this class with a deeper understanding of who you are, and with the ability to tell your story with clarity, power, and authenticity.
Mr. Vũ Hải Trường (M.A. & MBA)
Former Undergraduate Admissions Director – The University of Hong Kong (Top 11 Worldwide, QS Ranking)
In Vietnam, many young people have real potential but don’t know how to express it, while others, still building their abilities, struggle to find a dedicated mentor who can guide them. Both situations lead to missed opportunities. That’s why knowing how to tell your own story, clearly structured yet emotionally resonant is so crucial. A good mentor can feel like a summer camp: once you’re in, your skills, perspective, and mindset expand in ways you never imagined. Teacher Phong is someone who has turned life’s challenges into his greatest assets. He is a living example for young people to learn from, someone who had very limited resources and support, yet transformed his hardships into strength, and used them to carve out bold new paths for himself. I believe that learning from teacher Phong will help students uncover their own story, and no matter what that story is, it will become something powerful, authentic, and one-of-a-kind.

Real Stories, Real Impact
Ms. Trần Thị Thu Giang
Awarded a full Master’s scholarship through the prestigious Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS)
I realized that one of the biggest challenges in preparing a scholarship application is learning how to define your own value. At first, within my own worldview, I only saw my classroom teaching experience as the highlight of my profile. But through conversations with my mentor, teache Phong, I began to understand that through a global and leadership lens, what I was doing had real grassroots impact, and was contributing meaningfully to both student leadership and classroom leadership. I feel incredibly fortunate to have teacher Phong as my mentor. His guidance helped me recognize and articulate my strengths from multiple perspectives, and identify which aspects of my work truly align with the selection criteria. Thanks to his support, I became more confident in my application and clearer about the values that make my story stand out.
Ms. Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Thu
Awarded a full Master’s scholarship through the prestigious Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS)
I’ve come to understand that the key to a successful scholarship journey is finding a mentor who truly understands you and helps unlock your full potential. For me, that person was teacher Phong. He supported me in developing my ability to tell a compelling story about educational leadership, and helped me apply public narrative techniques to the interview process. I shared my journey of founding an English–STEAM club for primary school students in Ben Cau, Tay Ninh, a story that deeply reflected my values and commitment. At first, I was worried that telling my story in English might be unclear or misunderstood. But teacher Phong quickly picked up on that concern. He listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and patiently walked me through practical storytelling techniques, from setting the scene and highlighting the core message to building vivid details, pacing, and even eye contact. To me, teacher Phong was an irreplaceable part of my preparation journey. His mentorship played a key role in helping me win the Australia Awards Scholarship.

The Harvard-Style Scholarship Essay Writing Programme at YOUREORG is designed to help you craft a deeply personal narrative, one that reflects long-term vision, intellectual maturity, and your potential to create meaningful, real-world impact..
Unlike many courses built solely on personal anecdotes, this programme is designed and delivered by Lê Hoàng Phong, an educator who has completed Professional Education programmes at Harvard Graduate School of Education, holds internationally recognised leadership credentials, and has been formally trained in Public Narrative by leading global experts.
Beyond academic grounding, Phong brings rare, proven outcomes. He has secured over VND 8.9 billion in international scholarships and received unconditional master’s admission offers from world-class universities, including:
📌University College London (UCL) - ranked #1 globally in Education for 14 consecutive years, (QS World University Rankings by Subject) and #7 worldwide, (U.S. News Best Global Universities);
📌London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) - ranked #1 in the UK for Social Policy and named “University of the Year 2025” (The Times & The Sunday Times);
📌University of Pennsylvania - a prestigious Ivy League institution, , home to Penn Graduate School of Education ranked #6 in the U.S. for graduate education, (U.S. News 2026), and is widely regarded as "the university that has produced the highest number of billionaires worldwide at the undergraduate level", with notable alumni including billionaire Elon Musk, billionaire Warren Buffett, and U.S. President Donald Trump.
📌Stockholm University (Sweden); University of Manchester; and University of Bristol
Notably, in 2025, teacher Phong distinguished himself among 102,274 applicants worldwide to be selected as a Chevening Scholar, one of the most prestigious scholarship programmes funded by the UK Government. This selection cycle also marked the most competitive intake in Chevening’s history, with nearly 30,000 more applications than in 2024, according to official statistics from Chevening Awards (FCDO).
Adding to an already exceptional global profile, teacher Phong is:
📌 A YSEALI Professional Fellowship Scholar (Governance & Society), a fully funded flagship exchange programme of the U.S. Department of State, recognising emerging leaders across the Indo-Pacific.
📌 One of only four Vietnamese scholars ever selected for Future Leaders Connect, an elite global policy leadership initiative by the British Council, delivered in partnership with the Møller Institute, Churchill College, University of Cambridge.
