While scholarships are not guaranteed, full scholarships is even rarer for Undergraduate studies in Canada.
With up to 4 or 5 A1s in your WAEC, you can get some form of scholarships in some universities ( Uni of Manitoba) for example. It is not guaranteed please note my words.

Not many people can answer your questions or provide you responses. You must research by yourself.

If you want assistance concerning visa application, people can answer your questions

Barzoid:
Hello everyone, I'm new to this thread and I would be taking The SSCE EXAMS this year.
Please I want to know the requirements for a full scholarship to universities in Canada and what scores I should aim for in the SSCE exams

phoyeks:
So sorry about that. You can send me yours and I'll reach out to you.

phoyeks:
Through the Common App, one of your recommenders is meant to be the Principal or Admin.personnel of your High School. Once you fill the person's name and email, a link will be sent to the Secondary sch. official to send the Transcript directly to the Common App platform. You will need to inform the Sch. personnel so he or she can respond to the link and upload the transcript before the deadline.
It will then be accessed by all of the schools you apply to. I'm sorry I couldnt reply your mail to connect with me. You can send me a mail directly to phoyeks@gmail.com. Cheers.

You are most welcome. You can also look for schools using the college board and apply through Common App once you have your SAT score. Study well for the SAT; there are many practice questions online you can use to prepare for the exam.
External scholarships ( from independent bodies like religious org, govt parastatals, private organisations) can also be obtained by the way. You can do this; let google be your search and answer engine. It's work, real work but let the end result be your motivation. Look for schools according to your utmost priority: course of study, financial budget, weather of the area, urban , suburban or rural cities, size of campus and poulation....etc .
All the best.

Let me lend my few cents here. I hope it answers a lot of quests.
From my experience ( which is little), many undergraduate programs hardly get a full ride scholarship except you score 1450 and above as an international student. My son scored 1320 and he applied to H.U, PSU and 2more universities. He got admission in all the universities he applied to, just with his WAEC result and SAT( which many of the schools said it was not compulsory) but none gave him a full or even 50% scholarship so far ( though we await Howard University's offer today/tomorrow) So if you wish to get a full ride scholarship, aim for 1500 in your SAT and you will see schools begging you with a full ride scholarship. Many undergraduates here seem confused looking for schools that give full scholarship for undergraduate programs. Your score has to be exceptional to get that full ride except if a few schools do give otherwise.
Family ties for undergraduate applicants should not be a bother to you if your parents and family members are based here in Nigeria. It is assumed you are still too young to disappear into the US with your family members in Nigeria (i.e you are 16-19yrs)

Secondly, your WAEC result does not need to be evaluated by WES. WAEC results are accepted for undergraduate programs. I know that no school asked for my son's result to be externally evaluated. Google and Use Common Application to apply for schools. It helped a lot.

3. Get schools and admissions first before proceeding about MRV and Sevis fees. MRV fees will be paid in GTB and SEVIS fees can be paid if you have someone based in the U.S or can be helped by @Walspring on this platform.

4. Be smartly and neatly dressed with a cheerful outlook.

I hope this helps someone out here. Remain blessed and wish you all the best.

The M visa type is for vocational courses. If there are some computer science branch that falls under this, you can go for it. However read about the cons and pros. F1 visa on the other hand can also be used to study computer science complete 4 yrs programs.

UmmZayd:
The one that fits in all your requirements.

DAramis:
Yes.

My little answer to the best of my knowledge.

1. In some schools, it would get you a full ride (Tuition waiver with stipends) while in others half ride (Tuition waiver only). Others might offer percentage scholarship that would not even cover your tuition.

My little advise is to contact the different universities you have interest in. Check for the undergraduate academic contact person or coordinator, and email him (her) tabling your SAT score with WAEC result. Hopefully, he will be in better position to advice you. Read between lines from their replies, and pick up the schools which offers the best possibility of securing one. Spread your options

2. Some universities have in-house evaluation while others don't have, but depends solely on external evaluation companies under NACES.

3. First thing first. Secure admission and full funding. That two stages are nothing. Few Nairalanders can help you make the payment (SIVES) while you transfer the naira equivalent to them.

4. Your choice. Generally, smart casual, professional or normal is okay. Try and make sure that the colours rhyme. Don't be like some that wear flip-on (slippers), or rioting colour trousers (multi-colour, ripped apart jeans) or simple body fitted polo ( as if they are going on most handsome men audition, or to seduce all the females working in the embassy)

I hope, I have been able to clear all your doubts regarding to your various questions.

NB: I'm not aiming for undergraduate program o

UmmZayd:
1. If you apply to the right school that will provide full ride for your result
2. Yes you need to evacuate because they don't take WAEC in the US so they need to know what and what you did
3. SEVIS can be paid by someone in the US and MRV information is on the Visa page.
4. Dress comfortably causal or formal. Be comfortable

I understand you bro. Cos the loan is ginormous when converted to Naira. VO will conclude that you'll most likely stay back in America so that you can repay the loan faster.

So:

1. You'll need very strong home ties to show that you'll come back to Nigeria and that the loan will be paid back while working in Nigeria

OR

2. Get a fully funded offer
