Hello Friends,

My brother got a fellowship which is accompained with a fully funded scholarship for a master's programme.

After series of discussions, the VO mentioned that the 1-20 carried personal funds, which he clarifed that the organization would be responsible for paying that to the school and handed the Organization's Statement of account to the VO, who gave him a white paper placing his status on Administrative Processing.

What should he do as school resumes on the 26th? He mentioned that the VO also said school resumed on the 26th hence he will hear from them.

Any advice friends?

N/B: He wasn't asked so much.

Why are you going to the U.S., Which univeristy, what would you be studying?, What courses would hou be taking?, who is funding it?, Any supporting document?, school resumes on the 26th you would hear from us within 7 days.

All the questions, he answered.

First you need to decide on the course to study based on your future plans. I don't really know much about the prospect of mathematics but I believe data science is booming right now and the prospect of job seem high. Do your own research and check the bureau of labor statistics website to see things for yourself. Graduating with a first class will really make things a little easy for you if you complement it with a good GRE say >315. Please don't go and apply to one nonsense school with your first class, dream big, aim high and do your part. However spread your risk from high ranked schools to mid ranked. Forget about cheapest schools and concentrate on getting a good GRE score. All things being equal, You shouldn't pay a dime for tuition if you get a good GRE score to complement your GPA. All your energy right now should be on researching for good schools and how to get a good GRE score. The post below will give you an insight on the procedure.

Hello,

He wasn't asked about his ties, since it is a fully funded scholarship, he provided the organization's statement of account which the VO requested for and mentioned that it would be verifed. The VO is with the 1-20, statement of account and passport.

radautoworks:
With this administration, I don't know what to tell you. If he had financial proof of ability to provide for himself and ties to Nigeria, normally it would be a given.

Hello,

By set you mean he will be issued a Visa?

radautoworks:
I'm not sure what advice you're asking about. He seems set...

No it is not. You are not allowed to work with a student visa unless you can get an on-campus job with the school approval and get paid peanuts i.e. less than minimum wage.

I think you mean in-state tuition which is what residents pay. Out of state tuition is what international students pay and is typically almost triple in-state tuition. You may be able to get a job under the table but still be prepared to take less part than you are entitled to and be aware that if caught, your Schooling will be terminated and you deported.

You are not expected as an international student to seek financial aid. That is why one of the requirements for the Visa is banking showing you can afford to go to the school
