Leo3333: Is this 240K per month or per annum? If per month I will advise you to stay back in Nigeria. If per annum (which is peanut, actually), it might be worth considering going for your MSc. Before you complete your UK program, start looking for PhD opportunity in the US or Canada or Australia. 1 Like |

I am a Chevening alumnus. Taking the Chevening slot is a lifetime opportunity. Apart from the exposure you will get, you will also have different job opportunities in Nigeria and outside. Moreover, you can also do your PhD when you finish your Masters. While doing PhD, you can lecture and even settle down in the UK academics. Chevening scholarship does open doors, if you know hot to pray, and be led by the Spirit of God. All the best bro. 12 Likes |

Leo3333:I don't think you really got a Chevening Scholarship for you to be asking this question. Or you did and you're not really earning N240k monthly. First of all, earning N240k monthly implies you're already in middle management role at your company as this is not entry-level figure in most organizations. Earning that figure also means you can actually notify your employer of your Scholarship and by virtue of your position, he/she should be able to grant you the required tenure study leave and have a plan to reabsorb you into the organization at the end of your programme by which time you will be of greater value to them at no financial cost to the organization since your employer isn't paying for the masters. Chevening Scholarship website have also advised all prospective applicants on informing employers. *If you are in current employment, it is not a requirement of Chevening that you resign from your position. You are advised to discuss your application with your employer and it is your responsibility to ensure that they will release you if you are selected for a Chevening Award. The British Embassy/High Commission or the Chevening Secretariat cannot intervene in this. 8 Likes |

I guess the scholarship is in UK and there is no guarantee that you will get a job over there or here when you finish the programme. I would go for the 240k job bearing in mind that after 2years, I can get another scholarship and use my work experience most especially if it's a multinational company to get a job overseas when am through with the master programme. 3 Likes |

Fyorgyn: PepsiBoy: Xcely:Please, how did you guys do it? What can one do to really make their application sail through? Despite having admission from two universities in the UK, I was rejected by Chevening and with the look of things, I'd have to withdraw both applications. Honestly, it was heart-wrenching. Hints, tips etc. would be appreciated. Leo3333:I really do not know what to say as I'm not in the best position to advise you but seeing that Chevening is a renowned body and opens up more opportunities, especially with its extensive network of alumnae, I'd say you should go for it. 1 Like |

PepsiBoy:Only someone who has been a beneficiary of an International Scholarship would understand you. The kind of opportunities attached to International scholarship is unbelievable, the network one creates during the programme Alone is enough to get him/her a fine job upon graduation. Op, even though you've just been notified about the interview cos the results of successful candidates are coming out by June, have it in mind that you are accepting the offer. You'll never understand the benefit until you get there. Scholarships are the best. 1 Like |

If you don't have dependents like parents and siblings, I think you should go for the chevenning scholarship. the MSc + the fact that you'll become a chevening scholar means that you chances of getting a better job either here or outside the country would receive a boost. If someone could employ you and pay you 240k then I think you are competent enough to take a break from working and come back to the workforce with stronger negotiating power. 2 Likes |
