THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD OF A SCHOLARSHIP HUNTER

Harits Masduqi
Universitas Negeri Malang



Harits Masduqi is an academic staff at the Department of English, Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang, East Java. Believing in ’Impossible Is Nothing’, he began his enduring career as a scholarship hunter in 1999. After two-year ill-fated efforts in applying numerous scholarships, he successfully got a master’s degree scholarship from DEPAG RI and studied at Postgraduate Program, Islamic University of Malang.

During his thesis completion in 2003, Harits gave his ‘nothing to lose’ shot to apply for ADS (Australian Development Scholarship). This time Allah SWT seemed to pity on him and granted his prayers. And Kun Fayakun, out of the blue! He got a ‘durian runtuh’ of ADS and pursued his second master’s degree at Monash University of Melbourne, Australia. He earned his M.Ed. in TESOL from the university in 2005. Two years later he was awarded another AusAid scholarship and earned a Certificate in English Language Teaching from the University of Cambridge, England. ALHAMDULILLAH and Bravo Australia Indonesia Partnership!
