Dear Nairalanders! My name is Abeo. Today I'm here to tell you how I managed to apply to the university of my choice abroad within Computer Science and Technology in China and got a fully funded scholarship. I will share every detail of my personal experience and I believe every Nigerian out there will find this very useful.

I will share some very important tips and I will try to answer as many questions as I can.

TIP 1.
Once you have chosen your field of study , it is important to choose the appropriate country.

For those in the technical field it is better to go to countries like Germany, Czech Republic and the United States. Also, there are very amazing Asian countries too, like : Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China.

For a degree in Design and Fashion, it is better to consider Italy or France. If you are interested in ecology, environmental protection and human rights movement, choose the countries of Nordic region (Sweden, Finland, Norway) or Switzerland.

TIP 2.
You should choose the university of your choice. One of the most useful resource is the ranking of The Times Higher Education World University Rankings and QS rating.

TIP 3. You should prepare all the relevant documents.
I have listed some of the documents below:
1) An authorized translation of your previous or current degree and transcripts.
2) A Motivation letter/Essay/Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose. 70% of your ultimate success really depends on this paper!
3)Copies of your letters of reference.
4)Language certificates. For studying in English — IELTS Academic(6.5 and above) or TOEFL.
5)Additional exams. For example, GMAT/GRE for graduate school in business and finance or portfolio for designers and artists.

TIP 4. You should select scholarship program:
There is a limited number of information aggregators about scholarships and grants:
Germany — DAAD;
France — CampusFrance;
China — CSC Scholarships
StudyFree (https://international.studyfree.org/africa)  —  the platform accumulates scholarships from 34 countries

TIP 5. DEADLINES!!!
By the time you apply for a scholarship, you must have all the relevant documents ready. This means that you need to prepare at least a year before or even a year and a half.

Entering a foreign university with full funding is real. I did it, so you CAN also do it!!!

Feel free to ask me questions.

Hello Nairalanders!

I want to explain what has happened in this situation. I’m just a simple student who found StudyFree. I will not hesitate to mention that this company helped me. Unfortunately, not so many Nigerians know about this company and I decided to tell my story and asked my friends to log in to help me in this promotion.

I didn’t want to look suspicious or hurt somebody’s feelings. I beg pardon. I don’t want to make troubles for this wonderful company and their good team. Sorry guys for looking suspicious! I understand my fault!

PS. I will continue answering questions of other users who asked for help in scholarships because my experience would be helpful. But then I will never ask my friends with different monikers help in promotion or something else.

Sorry bros for breaking the trust!

No problem my brother... I was just surprised by the way you are answering the questions and I said I have to look you up... Keep answering the questions. God Bless you if your motive behind all these is HOLY

God Gat Us wink

Well explained.
Please what if one already has a degree in English language, for instance, BA(Hons) English language, would the individual still need to go through the IELTS GMAT and all process? Kindly reply.

When you’re planning to obtain master’s degree after the bachelors, you need the transcripts and translation of your previous degree. Also, English language exams are required. However, you can discuss your current situation with the university you applied to. Maybe they can advise you something because every situation is specific.

My scholarship is not for undergraduates. However, China has also scholarships for undergraduates. Look them through wink

Sometimes you can have low CGPA but have experience in extracurricular activities or some professional expertise that will help you to be a suitable candidate. Try to search for programs in Europe: Italy, Hungary, the Checz Republic for example.
How about PhD? Which countries are suitable for this( environmental)?
Is this field/space( PhD) saturated?

Oh bro, 2.2 isn’t the best result but if you have some achievements in other areas (for example, extracurricular activities, volunteering) your chances for enrollment can increase.

Look for Masters in international relations in Europe: Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia. It’s countries where chances for enrollment with low GPA are pretty good.

stop giving fake information please you guys are make job difficult for us that is in the field which is very bad, universities gives only discount in fee not full, education is not free any where.am clinton by name and i work with UKEAS NIGERIA PH OFFICE
We would like to invite you to come in and talk to our counselling staff about your plans to study in the UK and to hear about how we can help you to fulfill your ambitions.CALL: 07067001345
Abeo2007:


Unfortunately, it's hard. Universities where lectures are taught in English require you to take English proficiency test as IELTS or TOEFL. If you do not have these exams but have another English language proficiency test, you can get fully funded scholarships at many countries and universities, including universities of USA, Canada. But if you do not have any English language proficiency test, you can get scholarships from universities where lessons are not taught in English. For example, many universities of Germany do not require you English language proficiency test, lessons there are taught in German. Consequently they will require you test of proficiency of German language.

But you can find scholarships which covers the cost of the exams! Search in the Internet! Wish you good luck!!

It depends on the scholarship. There're two types of scholarships: government-sponsored and university-sponsored. Government-sponsored scholarships usually provide the largest coverage. Countries with large government scholarships for international students: China, Germany, France, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway.
University-sponsored scholarships usually partially or fully cover tuition fee and don't cover living allowance.

It's necessary documents for application abroad (SOME of the documents because the list of the documents can depend on the university you apply to).
1) An authorized translation of your previous or current degree and transcripts (it's translation of your diploma (bachelor), thesis work and statements of results. all information should be in English)
2) A Motivation letter/Essay/Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose. 70% of your ultimate success really depends on this paper!
3)Copies of your letters of reference.
4)Language certificates. For studying in English — IELTS Academic(6.5 and above) or TOEFL.

When you choose the university, you can see the requirements and find the necessary information about the documents.
I hope I managed to answer your question.
