All you'll be needing is a Graduate Assistantship that waives your tuition & provides you with stipends that could suffice for your living expenses. Your 600k should do for flight and perhaps settling in. However, you'll need to ace your standardized tests and apply to the RIGHT schools. That is, schools in which you stand a chance of being funded given your academic profile.

Thank you, really appreciate your response.

I want to ask this question.
I will be having a short break of 2 weeks from my work very soon and intend to spend like 10 days from it in the US, and that will be in February. However, I will be having another full one month annual leave in April which I will like to spend in the US
My question is this : if I travel in February to the US and later travel again in April, won't I be questioned at the POE for coming/visiting the US so closely dates; February and then April.
Thanks

No that shouldn't be a problem,The only question that might come up is who is sponsoring your trip....because with me,@ tge POE in England ave been dere several times nd ave only been asked dat question once...nd i told them my mother is my sponsor nd i told them the type of job she does nd dat it...so dont let that a problem.

How is everyone doing?
I have been following this thread from way back 2012 after my ND, but just recently graduated from uni with a 2.1 (statistics), I have always dreamt of doing masters and PhD in the US but as things stand now I don't know how that can be achieved. Though I have list of possible schools , intent of writing GRE and TOEFL, the first draft of my SOP and standby lecturers to write letter of recommendations, but my concern is how to pay tuition and other expenses as my Dad is a civil servant and Mum a trader and all bulk money they could come by is at Max #500-600k at the time of traveling and I intend to use NYSC allowance and side hustling to pay for GRE, TOEFL and admission processing. What sincere and honest advice can you give to help me achieve the dream?

Going to USA with only #600k That's a very big ask sha. Though nothing is impossible if u believe. The truth about US schools is that because of the competitive nature, they don't really give that much funding below phd level. But u can get fully funded masters in Europe and UK. N there are lots of opportunities over there. Why not give UK a try at masters level? Make a good grade. Then maybe try phd in USA. Cos usa no be place to go without money oooo.

Which standardised test are we talking about?

Please is there an ETS examination centre in Ibadan??

Again, Do I have to fill in the schools I want my results sent to before I write the exams?

Thanks. I've heard of people applying for F1 from a foreign country being told to go apply from their country of origin. You mean having a foreign residency permit removes this need?

yes it does but you must be able to proof strong ties that country so since you just moved there then its sometimes easier to apply from Nigeria. either way works though

Thank you for the advice, I heard living expenses are high in UK and other parts of Europe and I actually know little about Europe and I have no idea about UK schools and funding. can you please share any Europe and UK scholarship links?.
