Admission is open at asheshi. But covenant admission is not yet open for 2018/2019. Can a Nigerian apply for the scholarship at asheshi??

Admission runs about three times a year in asheshi(I am not sure) so I guess that's why.
You would have 30% chances of being picked at asheshi but at CU you have 70% chances. Allotment is 70% for Nationals and 30% for internationals.
