Hi, First, Nigerians need to understand that there is nothing like free education, except you win a full scholarship by some well known international organizations like the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship/Fellowship. Even with those international scholarship, they will advise you to come with money to cater for your 3months ( like $3000-$5000) upkeep before the disbursement of the scholarship money. Even Germany and some Scandinavian countries, you must provide evidence of at least €8000 - €15000 to cater for your subsistence at least for 1year and most often their embassies in Nigeria will want this money paid into an account in those countries before a student visa is granted. Even the US Embassy will need an evidence of a “liquid cash” in the region of 7 - 12 million Naira. Even with that, it is not a guarantee to get an F1 visa. In the USA, graduate studies are like applying for job. You need good GPA which if your ND & HND are in the Upper Credits, then your Equivalent GPA according to WES Evaluation will look pretty nice. You will need Statement of Purpose, GRE, TOEFL, Recommendation Letters (2 or 3). If you are a STEM Graduate, do yourself a favor by scoring great in the Quant section of the GRE and modest score in the Verbal. TOEFL is good if your seeking a Graduate Teaching Assistantships and applying for some internal and external competitive fellowships. Be upfront by contacting Professors (2 or 3) who you like to work in their research groups and maintain a professional relationship with them that will endear you to them and find a way to informally seek to work for them and if they agree, even mention their names in your Statement of Purpose and why you would like to work for them. Be upfront as the relationship develops to ask for sponsorship from them (Research or Graduate Assistantships). Talk to the Department about funding available. While you are preparing, develop skills that might be of help and make it possible for the school to grant you Assistantships and waive tuition fees and even pay you monthly stipend until you finish your program. If you studied HND Computer Engineering and you have been practicing real hardware engineering, it might pay you some premiums when you get to school and may start working for your department based on your already developed skills in computer hardware engineering. Even when the school offers you Assistantships, mind you that you must provide 7-12million Naira for the US Embassy to grant you F1 Student visa. None of these is a guarantee. So you need to know which country do you want want and prepare for their requirements and documentation. Will be available to answer you and assist you more. nappy760: 3 Likes |

There is, it is called NARIC but it depends on what program you are applying to. Almost every EU nation has a NARIC Organization responsible for Qualification Evaluation. nappy760: 1 Like |

This is a great relief for most people applying for WES evaluation with credentials from Nigeria. The WASSCE and NECO hurdle is time consuming and waste of money. GNwafor: |

Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by Kulbrown1: 4:35am On Dec 25, 2020 |
Good day. For someone with both ND and HND, when filling the academic record request form.. Should I collect two forms for both the ND and HND or one single form. I'm confused about that part. |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by GNwafor(m): 6:09am On Dec 27, 2020 |
For your ND & HND, you need 2 forms (International Transcript Request Form) as the HND & ND are two separate/different programs and you need to pay for and request for both Transcripts. If your HND & ND were done in the same school, this becomes a lot easier, but if you have done it in 2 different schools, then you must request for and pay for the Transcripts in the 2 different schools. In any case, make sure that both the HND & ND Transcripts get to WES because it is the evaluation of these HND & ND Transcripts (both of them) that gets you the USA Bachelor's Degree Equivalent from the WES Credential Evaluation. Note that henceforth, you no longer need to send hard copy of your ND or HND Certificate to WES, you will only need to upload a soft copy of your Certificate online when you are making an application for the WES Credential Evaluation, and then request your school to send the HND & ND Transcripts using either the Courier Service or normal postal services (Address is given on the Transcript Request Form). For traceability and tracking, you are best advised to use the courier service. Kulbrown1: 1 Like |

Hello, I want to attest to the fact that HND = Bsc in the US. I applied for WES evaluation early this month and my report just came out today. I finished my HND with 2.65 and to my surprise, my GPA after evaluation rose to 3.07. To my HND friends out there, HND is equivalent to Bsc in US, while OND = Associate Degree. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

GNwafor: Good day sir. I've been following this thread from page 1. I noticed from your transcript that you studied chemical engineering. My question might be off topic but I'll like to know the tuition range and duration of study for the Masters program from the school you studied I am also a chemical engineering student from polytechnic nekede. Almost done with my HND |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by principalgee: 10:41am On Jun 25, 2021 |
Mr Nwafor, sincerely you have done a great job on this thread, may God continue to bless you. I'm also a product of a federal Polytechnic, in Nigeria and with this thread you created, way forward has already been highlighted by you. |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by Daviduch19: 1:03pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
Thanks to this guy GNwafor. You are doing a great job demystifying this Information. I agree with a lot of things you have said from the beginning of this thread up till now. Men!! is over 4 years and you still follow up. Well am in the process, i know WES is great, i also know that A lot of People has used WES evaluation to get Masters In the US. One of the schools am applying to in the US specifically requested my Transcripts to be evaluated by either FSCA or WES.(I have ND and HND) I don't have money and time for WES since i have made progress with my school applications i decided to go for FSCA which is cheaper and easier. I hope the outcome will be favorable. My Advice to any one seeking for admission in the US. Ask questions and make your research. Admission Process in the US is real Hard Work but it pays at the end.
