Hi guys
I have been a silent reader here and I must say its a great work here preparing one ahead for the new journey.
Please I need help for list of schools that gives scholarship for masters. This will really help in my application process.
Thank you all and God bless

BigboysZ:
There are hundreds if not thousands giving out scholarships depending on how you are able to research, network with scholars and present your case.

You also didn't mention the program if at all they want to help you.

Start by using google. Use keywords.

Best.

covcon:


Thank you !

For the SOP I meant that one should use a scaled down version to respond to the questions like: why this program? why this school? why now? etc. You don't want to ramble on for too long, rather you want the VO to understand your motivation.

Congratulations and if I may ask which school gave you the $10k funding




I got $10k funding and I specified that I would handle the rest from my personal savings, highlighting that I have been working for almost 15 years . So my I-20 has personal funds for the remainder.
I was particularly asked how I would fund the program; another point to note that the VOs do not necessarily look at the documents when passed to them, so you should ensure that you highlight those advantages, especially for those with partial or full funding.
When asked, I responded that I had a scholarship, and he interjected, "no that's not true" and when I started to respond, he looked, saw it and corrected himself. After that I mentioned personal funds for the balance.

I understand your pain cos I am in shoe.. what I am bothered about is how fast the escalation if the case to higher authority will be... Cos I am very honest with you, they have been slow to some extent. Mine case is still with this said authority since December and all they keep saying his that it is still under a review process.. although I am planning of getting a new MRV with a new consulate (Abuja) cos Lagos Consulate are just too slow right mow

You're advising him to lie. You think they don't have the data?

saheed0011:
your response should go like this, I believe I know myself pretty well in terms of what works best for me while studying. I am a firm believer that quality study is far more effective than sitting down there reading for hours upon no end. Quality study involves writing down key learning points from each lessons. Also I have since discovered myself that I am more effective studying at evening time of the day during which my level of concentration and assimilation is always at is peak. So, I have already have plan in place to make sure that my studies are effective and utilize my time very well while at the university.

Others too should contribute

Good day everyone,

Please I have a question;

I am trying to book an appointment and after filling my passport details and all, I submitted it and then I got this pop up. This account was created for me in 2019 by an uncle then who helped in filling it, but now I am doing everything on my own and I intend to create it from scratch. If I don't transfer this new account to the previous one as stated in the image below, would I have any issues going forward? anyone done similar stuff before without any negative effect?
