The minimum CGPA required for most of the courses is 2.1. But a 3.80 CGPA above gives you a better chance. Also there are many courses you should be able to apply to, check their website in previous posts.

Results varies with courses. Some don't get to know their results till June. Well, I haven't seen a Nigerian who got the scholarship. My search brought me here. I also got an info that in the course I was preselected for a scholarship, I am the only student from Africa.

All the best bro!

June is not possible. The latest is April as time has to be given for the awardees to receive their scholarship certificate amongst other things, time to apply for visa and then flight bookings. I don't doubt the info you got, it's possible. Some courses even state on their website that 2 people from a country cannot be awarded the scholarship

I graduated with a cgpa of 3.29. Do I stand a chance in any of the scholarship?

Hello bro! About 2 years ago, when I decided I was going to do my master's outside Nigeria, with a scholarship in mind. I asked a friend at MIT, a similar question and this was his response:

" Hello Seun.
In a nutshell, your CGPA isnt quite good, and
may limit your chances, but should not stop you
from applying.
1. You should do your best to present an
application that is super-stellar in every other
area (-which of the fields of Pol Sci offered by
MIT do you want to study, and have you had any
accomplishments in this field? Published work?
Prestigious internship(s)? Do you have anyone
that can seriously attest to your ability to
succeed in a place like MIT?
2. I spent a few minutes on the MIT pol sci page,
and it appears they dont get many students from
Africa, and are most focused on US policies and
that of a few other developed nations, judging
from the job placements of previous graduates.
While this appears to be a cause for concern, it
should push you to put together an excellent
application. Who knows, the dept may just be
looking to expand its impact in other continents.
3. Dont apply to top schools only. I can
understand the desire to want to have an
Harvard or MIT degree, but just in case this
doesnt happen, you should have other options
you are comfortable with. I expect there are
good programs at other schools too. Some may
even have focus of training those from
developing nations, and may provide special
funding for them [MIT pol sci dept appears not to
directly fund students]. Do your research.
4. PhD candidates in engineering/science
programs usually get fully funded. If the same
applies in pol sci, you may want to apply to
straight-phd programs that you are comfortable
with. But then, the standards are much higher
than for candidates applying for a masters
degree first. So, you should mix this [apply for
masters in some schools (maybe the top ones)
and PhD in some].
5. Proactively explore all external funding
opportunities that you may have. You dont want
to get admitted and end up not going simply
because you didnt plan adequately for funds.
Realistically assess your parents' finances, your
state govt's scholarship oppotunities, etc
6. Pray"

I believe that you can get your answer from the response and others can learn something too.

Thanks bro. That's quite encouraging. After considering my cgpa, I set my focus on low level universities abroad. I want to apply for an Msc program and want an advise as regards to my chances on this particular erasmus mundus. Thanks in anticipation for your candid advise.
