• This can be instituted to keep track of students well being 
• Peers are in best position to provide feedback on a scolarship holder mental health 
• Buddy system could provide invaluable support , when scolarship students face serious problems , before situation deteriorates 

Response to significant points : 

  

      I agree with the writer that an interview with psychologists will give a more complete picture of each applicant. This is their field of expertise and they are able to determine the applicant's personality and mental health status much better than a screening test. Definetely, such constant interviews will make it easier to track the applicant's well being. 

    Also, a big part of a student's life is his peers and they are definelty in the correct and best position to provide feedback on the mental health of the scholarship holder. As such, I agree with the buddy system. Peers can indeed provide invaluable support and can help the scholarship holder to face many difficulties that may appear. In school, friends are what we look forward to, they are our family outside of home. They are the first people we would turn to to share our problems and to ask to have fun with. The scholarship holders are under a lot of pressure and their buddy can help to relieve that large amount stress. Thus, the buddy system will definetely benefit the scholarship holders.
