UofPeople is not FREE!!...
Yes, the school is not normally free.

But for about two months now, they've been offering a 100% scholarship to students from Nigeria and some other countries. Admitted students will resume in September.

Applicants from Nigeria do not even have to pay the $60 application fee.

The moment you select NIgeria as your country the scholarship update will come up then simply proceed according to the prompts and you will get the scholarship.

$2,200 will be credited first to cover your first 10 to 15 courses, and then, on completion of those, they say the balance will be credited too.

However, you do have to maintain a minimum GP of 2.2 to keep the scholarship.

I applied for a program for myself and a few people, too.


Just search for the school on Facebook and watch out for the ad on Facebook. Apply through that, and you will get it.

he should have ZeroWorries as your moniker suggests.

Then on a serious note, Life is just like a football match.

In the first half, both teams come into the game with a game plan they’ve practice: formations, strategies, key players. They play with the strength of their preparation, trying to dominate, score goals, and control the match.

But at halftime, regardless of whether they are leading, trailing, or it's a draw, both teams return to the dressing room. That’s where reflection happens. Coaches analyze the first half; what worked, what didn’t, who underperformed, where the opponents exploited their weaknesses. They restrategize. Sometimes a losing team comes out in the second half with fresh fire and completely turns the game around.

That’s exactly how life is at 40.

Your first half (youth) may not have gone according to plan; mistakes, failures, missed opportunities. but halftime (age 40) is a gift to pause, reflect, and rework your strategy. It’s not the end of the game. In fact, many great goals are scored in the second half. Champions are often made after halftime adjustments.

At 40, a man should not sit back in regret. Instead, he should see it as the second half of his life’s game; time to replan, reinvent, and relaunch. The match is far from over. Many people didn’t even score in the first half but came out blazing in the second.

Hope is not lost. The final whistle is not yet blown. There’s still time to turn the game of life around.

Just like football, it’s the full 90 minutes (and sometimes extra time) that decides the winner, not just the first half.
May God bless you

I have thoroughly read through the school website. The scholarship is not for a graduate studies. You're to pay $2500 for their MBA. The scholarship is only for an undergraduate studies and it is still not entirely free...

The other poster is actually right. If you keep going around measuring your success or achievements against that of others, you are essentially digging your own grave. Go ask the many out there living anxious and depressed, suffering one heart problem or another, all because in their heads they fall short of standards set for them by society. undecided

As for expecting your children to bankroll your life in your old age, you better go ask all those aged folks out there whose children don't even call let alone send money to them. There are plenty of them in the village. Children as retirement plan never really worked out for the vast majority. No one told you this because people don't like telling each other the truth in that country. undecided
