API: Experience Wellington, New Zealand (with Scholarships)

Responsibility for the selections lies with the head of the selection team. The world around us is changing, there is a need to train the new leaders of tomorrow through international programs, able to connect different cultures creating a harmonious and lasting globalization. I believe I am a good candidate for your program. I have never experienced the university as a "freshman", from the beginning I showed proactivity by founding a student association, managing colleagues in our representative activities and then becoming a representative of the students. I have filtered between the needs of the teachers and those of the students, becoming a student team leader in the management of events such as OpenDay and JobDay. I recently won a public call for applications thanks to my university qualifications and skills, which allowed me to grow as an ANVUR (Italian National Agency for University and Research Evaluation) Evaluation Expert. Thanks to my ambition and determination I was able in exactly one year to finish the exams of the master's degree (which would normally last two years). I have always tried to develop leadership, passion, collaboration and quality, so having never lived outside I felt the need to put myself to the test again, so this August and September I went to Brazil in Florianòpolis to work as a volunteer for a SMART Marketing Project in two NGOs. I chose Brazil for my adventurous spirit in search of new cultural and behavioural models, trying to manage myself with my own strengths. I thank the Spett.le Rersponsors of the selections for their time and attention. Cordially Fabio Seller

API was a fantastic program to work with!! The pre-departure material was comprehensive and made me confident starting life in a new country. Housing was included in the cost of the program and API took care of setting up the living situation. I was in a co-ed "flat" style living, which is similar to student housing, with people from all across the world. It was a unique experience to live with people from different backgrounds and integrate our experiences, living styles, cooking preferences, and personalities. API provided multiple excursions within the program which allowed me to see amazing places I probably would not have seen otherwise! These excursions fostered friendships and typically included a meal, always a bonus for a student! API went above and beyond to ensure us students were taken care of and had the assistance necessary to thrive in a new environment. There was an international education adviser on campus we had access to as API program members. Everything from housing, travel, and education was seamless through the help of API. Terrific program, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a new experience in a vibrant country!! So much beauty and culture to explore, let the adventure begin!
