Rubbish! angry They should stop these annual fund raising trips for British universities, abeg. We have enough private universities to take care of the educational needs of Nigerian students, on our shores. Apart from the huge fees that Naija students pay in Britain, they are not allowed to work after their studies and they are subjected to lousy treatment by British embassy staff in their pursuit of a student visa. Enough is enough, please. Let them carry their roadshows to another country.

If not for the huge fees naija students pay in their universities, how would they be able to meet up with the cost of running their schools when their own citizens pay so little as fees, in comparison with foreign students?

Fees from Nigerian students alone keep British educational system functioning?

Have you heard about the ultimate scholarship opportunity?

Are you motivated to study in UK but lack the funds to fulfil your dreams?

Get up to 10k pds to Expand Your Horizon
An individual global study award has a maximum value of 10k pds
The Award prize will be applied toward the cost of tuition fees in the first instance, paid directly to the Higher Education Institution that the successful candidate will attend.

If tuition fees are below the maximum individual award fund of 10k pds the remaining funds may be allocated per diem for living costs for a maximum of 52 weeks starting from when the student first registered at the higher education institution.

You could be the next TGSA Scholar!
