I also finished from UI few years ago when the school was still using the 7-point grading system.

Here is how to do the unofficial WES evaluation to convert your grade to its 4-point equivalent:

1. Visit https://applications.wes.org/igpa-calculator/igpa.asp
2. Create an account on the site.
3. Input each of your courses from 100–400L.

That takes some time but it's quite straightforward.

The service will then display your CGPA rated on the 4-point scale and mail it to you (for unofficial purpose).

Funding levels depends on whether it is MSc or PhD. The monthly stipend ranges from 1000 to 2,500 with most PhD funding between 1700 and 2200 per month.
The biggest expense in the US is rent, so the best way to reduce expenses is by having a roommate. Therefore if a single student can keep rent below 500 per month, the other monthly expenditures should be less than $500, giving a total less than $1000. Although rent varies based on States and is most expensive in California and the North East (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts).

Most PhD students end up saving. A fully funded single PhD student has no business taking illegal work to make ends meet, or else it is a case of greed.

You will however need to come with about $1500 to settle down before your stipend kicks in.

@ Morgang apply to my School Texas tech University for Masters in Political Science, confirm funding for you, a naija came in this year for same course.

Also to the mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Sociology guys, apply to my school too generous with funding.

For Mathematics in particular, with 310 GRE score, you will be admitted for Masters with funding for next fall, me department needs more students next year

I'm a die hard Nairalander and infact it was so vital in my move, kudos to this great forum. I just moved to Canada that's my street by 6am after a little snowfall. Thank God I escaped Buhari's wickedness, ethnic bigotry, stup1dity, insensitivity and cluelessness.
Guys, life is good when you are on track. God is great!
Will celebrate y'all
