Great analysis Stolid!
Naija and Honesty, two big enemies! Sometimes I am forced to think that we will never move this country forward if we keep wanting cheap things at any cost.
I must say that, before I joined this thread I was reluctant to give out information that I considered sensitive about myself..... But I decided to read through some of the previous posts and found valuable info that showed logical consistency and were experientially relevant.....

What I am saying in essence is that I appreciate every contribution on this thread (I mean everything posted by everyone) and I am not reluctant to ask any question that I consider pressing on my mind because I can trust people here.

So I wonder why wine4guy will choose to be dishonest when dealing with people who are willing to help him/her.

Additionally, this is for people like me still seeking admission and visa:
Honestly I am thrilled at how people who already have started their studies give regular meaning contributions to this thread without being paid by anyone or having nothing to gain from an anxious applicant who need vital info

With immediate alacrity. Lol
After school, everyone bounces to the north east.

MsNas:

See, my brother.. please do not be vexed about what I have to say o. I am very sorry in advance. Seeing that you posted this, after you posted this awhile ago means you're indeed in a rut and you need a quick, fast fix.

But truth be told, you got yourself into this situation. You should not have left Nigeria with the intention of studying without at least first semester tuition or funding. That said, what has happened has happened. You need a way out.

1. Did you not know that the tuition at UNO was high? Why did you still chose to transfer to Omaha even after knowing that? That aside, the black/white population in a school should be the least of your problems. I know a female nairalander who went to school in Omaha. NE and graduated from there. You're there to learn and simply to learn. Ignore the racial distribution. You will get used to the cold. Layer up, bundle up and you'll be fine

2. Do you have any hopes of paying your fees at UNO before transferring next semester? This I say because UNO will not release your SEVIS record for transfer until all outstanding tuition is paid. Did you talk to your graduate adviser at UNO and explain your situation to him? He might be able to find you a GA after one semester, if not this one. Explore all your avenues before giving up, bro

3. There are plenty of schools who will give funding for your course. You're studying IT/IS, funding opportunities abound. Trick is to start applications now, but you have to decide if you're gonna be applying as a fresh graduate international student or wait until after one semester of study at UNO and have grades transfer. If your grades from Nigeria (undergraduate GPA, GRE and TOEFL) aren't that stellar, I will suggest you do your best this semester and at least bag a 4.0 so as to make your search for funding more easy and promising.

4. If you fall out of status, you either have to apply for reinstatement in the US or do a another entry by going to Mexico or Canada and reentering with your new school I-20. Both come with their own set of pros and cons...Choice is your to make. But I tell you, falling out of status is not easy as everything will just tire you.

5. Why are you transferring from MIS to EE? Do you have an EE background? That said, IT jobs are in abundance and it's easier to get sponsorship. But maybe I'm saying that cos I'm an IT person. Who knows?

To be honest with you, I think you are so lucky today (no fighting or blaming or people cursing you out) and something tells me that whatever info you get from here today would be so beneficial to you. As a matter of fact, all of the comments here are valid and I would advice you make good use of them. As it has been said by others, there's no magic to funding; just research well and have good credentials.

In addition to what others have said, here are my suggestions:

- Find a list of all the schools that offer your course at PhD level in the USA.

- Email the grad coordinators of each of them (even if they are up to 20,000). At least half would respond and quarter would be positive about funding

- Apply to all of the schools that think you may qualify for scholarships or would give funding (even if they are 100 in number).

- At least one out of the over 100 schools that you applied to would give funding.

This is your last chance and I think it's a risk worth taking. So, spend all of your remaining money in paying for the application fees for these schools. The guy that WON the LOTTO recently in California played with over $10,000.

Simply, not only do you have to play the lotto to even dream of winning, you have to put in more money and permutate well to increase your chances.


N:B - Your first email to each of these professors would give the first impression. You don't want to get it wrong at all.

Good luck!!!

I believe i raised about 3 out of the five points you raised here and someone else addressed this issue. I wonder why he or she chose to bring this up again.

hardeorlah:
Now let me tell my story. it all started like this. my uncle called me 2013 to start my application to a US university that he is ready to carry all d expenses. I Neva answered him but he keep pressing on me to start the processing.
well I started application to schools I got admission and my visa was approved last year. when I called this man he changed his mind DAT he is not ready to sponsor again that there is no money. Well with faith my parent gather the money dey had and the money I saved n I got to the state January 2016 with no instate waiver. But immediately i got to school I started going to financial aid office and I got scholarship. I also met a Nigeria who introduced me to an African professor n through that professor I got a graduate research assistant job which I will start next week. It has just been God. its not easy to survive in this country.


cutconnec don't give up. keep on pressing God will see you through.

lolz. I know, just asking. MS isn't promising after school except you live on can foods and join to group of most obese population in the US. Job prospect is less than normal. Crime in Jackson, the capital and the supposed largest city in MS is very high. I once visited Jackson for 5 days and the American friends there were wishing they are from another parts of the country.

However, be careful about where you're coming in north east. Cost of living is incomparable wtith what you're use to in MS.

purplesummer:

To add to what OjaP has suggested, you can actually have most or all of your application fees waived before applying. Several schools offered me an application fee waiver either without or upon my asking. I had to email some of my choice schools for a waiver which they happily granted. From the pool, I chose 4 schools to which I applied.

My point is, you can ask each of the schools to which you intend to apply for an application fee waiver so you won't have to waste the money you don't even have.
I hope this helps...God be with you!

Bros mi, why you no try contact the school of international affairs for that school, they might come in handy. abi na questions about the city of urbana champagne you wan inquire ni?

Hello. I go like chuk head for geo-engineering program at MST, any advice with regards funding (hope say e neva late)? Abeg gist me na.

JoyPaulLaw:


What I'm trying to say is: Applying for BSN may not be easy in the USA as some schs require Nursing License and the tuition fee is a little higher than other courses.
Almost all the schools u list out there have a VERY EASY admission process.

JoyPaulLaw:


I really don't think its possible to study B.S Nursing in the USA. They do require some docs Nursing License. My sister is also applying to one of the Sch u out up there and I must confess dia admission process is easy.
