Hello good people.

I need help with schools that give full funding for MSc programs in the US. I have searched and made use of some threads here, I have gotten mostly PhD programs which I have applied to.

I just want to do 1 or 2 MSc applications too.

Kindly help me. Thanks a lot.

Hello all,

Please what is the best advice to give someone whose profile is below:

Age: 30+
Female
BSc grade: Pass

She wants to know if she can get an admission in the US, either BSc or MSc.
I was going to tell her the chances are really low or non-existent but then I feel I could get more insights form people here.
Are there schools that can offer her admission?
Thanks.

Solution: it's either you get a better funding with less deficit or non at all. You didn't convince the VO enough that your uncle has the means to sponsor you. It could have been easier if your sponsor was your Father as $27K is no small bill from an extended family.

I don't see how $18k is 70% of your total tuition and living expenses, yet your deficit was well about that.

VO: Who's paying the bill?
You: (Give a comprehensive answer. Don't let him ask questions one after the other like you let him did).....it doesn't look like you were prepared that way.

Apart from the $18k tuition waiver, I will be sponsored by my uncle Mr. ABC who is the CEO of XYZ, a company that majorly distributes engine lubricant...... Also, he's a real estate entrepreneur that has sold several landed properties..... In all, he has about 100 employees in both of his ventures.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I sent you a DM.
Please reply.

I just found strength to write this. grin
Please I need help on this.

Date: June 23rd, 2022
Time: 9:00am
Embassy: Lagos
Status: Not Approved
VO: Good morning. Pass me your passport and I-20
Me: Good morning. *I passed the requested documents*
VO: Where are you going in the US?
Me: I am going to the ******* for master’s degree in ******* with focus on Energy Conversion and Storage.
VO: *Checks the I-20 while I speak*
Me: *I continued to speak to end the awkward silence* I’ll be researching on new materials and technologies to improve the durability and efficiency of the current energy sources.
VO: Okay. Let’s talk about this deficit. Who will be paying the $27000?
Me: (I felt there was no need to talk about the yearly scholarship of $18000 since he asked about the deficit only) Besides the scholarship, my uncle will be responsible for the remaining costs.
VO: Who is he to you?
Me: (Shocked by the question) He is my uncle. My dad’s younger brother.
VO: What does he do?
Me: His company, ******, is a major distributor of engine lubricants for Total Energies and Mobil Oil. Also, he owns some properties that are on rent in Lagos and Ogun states for both commercial and residential purposes. (The VO typed as I spoke at this point)
Me: *I continued speaking to avoid the silence* He has been involved with my education is primary school as I am his favorite nephew and the oldest. He was influential in my choice of undergraduate school where he also graduated from in 1995. So, when I told him I was offered a 70% yearly tuition, he was willing to help me maximize the opportunity by supporting me financially.
(VO kept typing then he just stretched his hand towards the blue paper section. At this point, I muttered “God” and went blank. I honestly didn’t hear the first part of what he said. It most probably would have been around “…not qualified today…”.
As I was about taking the paper from him, I looked at him and he said, “ask for more scholarship”.)

I have reached out to the school, and I was told that’s the most scholarship they give to international student and the department has no funding to add now. GAs and TAs are for PhD students but can be lobbied for when in school.
I am thinking of requesting for anther I-20 from my school and including personal funds alongside my uncle’s. My uncle’s SOA had more than the deficit, but I didn’t get to present it at the interview. This is just to show there’s been a difference since my last interview. I intend to apply to Abuja this time.

I need advice on the possible next step. I just want to know if there are other things I am missing.
Thank you and God bless.

AreaFada2:
Ol@ boy,
You're between a rock and a hard place.

It appears you had little experience with girls before marriage. You probably never experienced the true love of a lady previously.

Ab initio, she was not in love with you at all.

You probably gave her something she needed (like attention, economic assistance, etc) or she just wanted you as insurance/side dude.
Many girls do this routinely. They keep one or several insurance dudes.

The same friend that came to beg you must have begged the main guy before but he refused. Then it became imperative to get you back. Still she was too proud to come in person.

Fact is that she's a very untrustworthy person. Like an unrepentant thief who only regrets disobeying the 11th commandment (don't be caught).
If the main guy, her preferred hubby that never was, were to give her more attention & desire her, she'd bang him. That is if she hasn't o.

She has made such a big fool of you bro.

If you both have kids already, you really have no options at all. If not, as bad as divorce might be, you can free her to follow the guy she truly wants. If any kids, paternity test ASAP.

Do you want to be in a marriage of perpetual mistrust for the next decades? If you can take that, go ahead bro. But do not expect her to change genuinely. She'll secretly loathe you for being so sneaky and finding out. Her promise of change is just to avoid the societal stigma of a marriage broken within a few years. She liked your mumu status, not this "wise" one..

That concealment of her true feelings can build up her ill will to a dangerous level. Being cornered make people dangerous. Beware.

Well said, AreaFada2. Ademola2017, please read this piece carefully. Lotta sense in it.

This is a very good idea...and it's time we, the youth, take responsibility of the progress of this country. Nigeria is lagging behind seriously when compared with other countries she was at level with some 30 years ago. These old men can't offer us anything. I don't mean to be disrespectful to these elderly ones, but to be very honest, they lack the capability and hunger to set this country on the right path.
We have what it takes to execute this plan, if only we can be honest about it. The present "average" Nigerian has the mentality of watching out for themselves alone. It only takes a "dollar rain" and you see devoted people turn "Judases".
I support this movement.

You are wrong Sir

Oya learn

Let:
A = Briefcase
B = Newspaper
C = Book

Equations:
1) 2A= 20
A=10

2) A*2B = 20
We already know the value of A so do a straight substitution
2B = 20/10
2B = 2
B=1

3) 5C/B = 10
We already know the value of B so do a straight substitution
5C = 10
C=2

4) A-2B*4C
10 – 2(1) * 4(2)
10-2*8
Ans = -6
