Every year several thousands of men and women struggle to get advanced qualifications, new skills and transferable knowledge in a country other than theirs.
However, majority of them lack the financial strength to sponsor their education abroad especially in countries where the international students pay higher fees.
The option has been to seek and apply for funding opportunities in the form of scholarships, studentships, fellowships, study loans and grants.
Incidentally, the competition for these funds is fierce because the available funds can’t go round all the applicants.
However, there are strategies you can adopt to increase you chance of getting selected for an award.
A. Determine Your Study OptionsThere are many programmes available to choose from within the different schools-engineering, medical sciences, Arts, Social sciences, Education, Pure Sciences, and Humanities etc.
Often times, one may be confused about the best programme to choose.
Take time to explore and consider the many options to make the best informed firm choice on the school and programme.
B. Get an Offer of Admission EarlyI discovered by experience that 90% of the universities and donor agencies require that you have an offer of admission into a school as one of the criteria before applying for funding.
This needs you to start your admission application early enough usually a year before if you need sponsorship.
Most universities in America, United Kingdom, Asia and Africa start their academic programmes in September of January annually.
C. Start the Search for funding NOWThe competition for funding is very strict which makes it necessary that you start your search early enough. Most of the funding opportunities have short application duration.
However, you can get a comprehensive eBook on “Study Abroad Funding for Nigerians in 18 Countries” by sending an email to studyabroadfunding@gmail.com
This eBook covers over 100 different types of funding opportunities for the Nigerian person to study for undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD programmes in the countries mentioned in the eBookD. Study the Funding RequirementsEach funding body or university has its own criteria for application selection, award allocation and eligibility requirements. It is worth the trouble to take time to acquaint yourself with these criteria and be sure that you meet them before you apply.
