Hi, funding is very variable. There is no one size fits all. Depends mostly on departments within schools, so go to the department website yourself and see what they say about funding.

You should probably write the name of each of the cities those schools are located.
Thanks, I have checked d departmental website but most don't fund MS just PhD. I specified d cities, d name of d schs depict d cities they r located. I'd just apply for d PhD cos I av got no fund. The other criteria would assist me in choosing d best sch d suits my financial standing.

Hi Guys! Visa denied 3 times on June 30, Sept 1 and 30. My school resumes Oct 5 for my quarter. Apparently I have to differ. School is California University of Management and Sciences.

June 30 Interview!
CO: Why are u going to the US
Me: For my masters degree in **
CO: what course did u read in school
Me: Business Management
CO: what school did u graduate from
Me: **, a private school
CO: who is sponsoring u
Me: My mum
CO: what does she do
Me: A business woman
CO: have u traveled before
Me: No, have not heard need to.
CO: Are u married
Me: No.
CO: Am sorry, hands the blue paper.

2nd interview on Sept 1, this CO dint ask any question apart from:
CO: Why are u going to California
Me: For my masters degree.
CO: types for about 5 minutes, hands the blue paper.

3rd interview was in Abuja Sept 30, hence the 2 previous ones were in Lagos.

CO: Good Morning
Me: Good morning
CO: Pls pass ur passport
Me: me hands in my passport and my mum's whom is my sponsor.
CO: looks at my mum's 2 full passport which includes KLM card, she cross check it with my name and it does match.
CO: this is ur mum right
Me: Yes.
CO: her next question was have u traveled before.
Me: No, have not heard need to.
CO: Why did u choose the school
Me: of all the schools I applied to, California University of Management and Sciences is the only school that has a professional golfer has the Golf instructor, Tyler Corp, (which is true)
CO: am confused, why golf.
Me: In California, when offered admission for msc sport management, you would either major in Golf, Taekwondo or sports leadership, so I choose golf cos I was convinced with Tyler Corps explanation on Golf and it's rules when I spoke to him on Skype
(which is also true).
CO: where do u work.
Me: My mum's company (which is also true). Am also a sports *** with so so and so station (also true)
CO: your duties
Me: explains
CO: Am sorry, hands in the denial paper for the third time.

This gets me confused, I filled all information my self, all information provided were not false, spoke well, was composed at all 3 interviews yet wasn't approved. They always include tie to compel you to come back to an home country, working in ur parent company is a tie, ur parents having landed property is a tie, so what else. Hence I think there is a bit of discretion from the CO who conduct the interview.
I mailed the embassy also called their call line, the response was we sorry for the denials but it is at the discretion of our Consular Officers, how else can one be truthful.

A man went with 4 children and his wife, Young guy though, he was asked what he was going for, he said vacation, he was asked where he has traveled to, he said UK, Italy and so. He was asked where the passport to countries he has traveled to is, he said he dropped it at home, yet he was approved, all couples got approved and aged people despite most not convincing.
A lady was denied, the lady asked the CO, why the denial that she just explained she has landed properties in Nigeria. The CO responded by saying I can't go into details, that's d end of the interview.

I would please want a well constructed and helpful comment from you guys. Thanks. CC @Slimmy05 @LagosNIV.

@Omoh26 first interview
1.What is the corrolation btw business mgt and ur new course of study in golf, you ought to hv picked sport leadership, the VO might looked into dat
2. What business does ur mum do? U needed to hv mention the line of business she is in2
3. Hv you traveled b4? No. Only if asked why haven't you? then u can say, I had no need until now, I wish to acquire more knowledge.
Third Interview
1.he didn't ask u what ur major / Am comfused why golf? It means why choose it as a career then u wld hv stated the importance of it to you and benefit ur country will derive frm u after ur studies wen u return
2.if you work with ur mum u shld be on a managerial, which can help u as a tie in the family business to return home if granted
Don't get offended if people state a contrustive reason 4 u It wld help u a lot. No VO will tell you why dey didn't grant you because dey are not mandatory to do that, but u might likely know from their emphasis on a question.

@Omoh26,

Why golfing? Based on personal discretion as well as the last VO such studies makes no sense. I'm confused here. I thought I was reading about business management why suddenly I started reading about golf and Taekwondo? Did you change from business to sport within 3 months? If so, since it's your passion, no one cares about the professional golfer instructor.

Reasons for the school/course should be academical and standard or lucrativeness of the course from the school in the economy or it's benefits to you. You want to reach your own goal that's why you choose the course/school not because you were convinced by what Tyler or so told you on skype.

Why your mom's document when the issue at hand is you? Even if your mom trips U.S every time, all the VO's wants from YOU (not your mom) is if you will come back after studies or simply, do you have any studying intention (genuine).... question which you didn't address well or at all.

Thanks alot at tipssy1, Off cos I explained my position as been a manager there. Secondly, have read several transcripts here where people say No, they have not traveled cos they have had no need to yet been granted. I told her my major cos I felt that might enhance my chances when she asked about the course. There is a correlation btw Bus Mgt and Sports Mgt, the course content relates with Business Mgt courses also, apart from sports law and few courses. Infact some schools require Bus Mgt as first degree before they can admit u into their post graduate school for Ms sport mgt. I told her the importance of Golf to me and how I would like to set up a Golf course when back.

Thanks @imperriouxxx, Pls try check what I wrote well, I dint suddenly change from Bus Management to Sports Management, I just said my first Degree is Bus Mgt and going for msc sport Mgt and of cos when u wanna read msc sports mgt u have to choose a field u would major and for my school, you either would choose Golf, Taekwondo or Sports Leadership, that's explanatory enough. You wanting to reach your goal dosent mean someone can't motivate u or convince u, have read several transcripts where people say they were convinced by one Prof or the other and they got the visa. I wrote that it was on the third interview that I showed the CO my mum's passport simply cos I contacted the embassy after the 2nd denial, I asked them questions, the response was if I can show the CO that I should, which was what I did. A genuine reason to study abroad dosent come more than this. I wouldn't be disturbing my self if msc sports mgt wasn't really important in my field, I knw why I want to do the course, I knw where it would place me in Nigeria.
It's simple here, most people have abused student visa in the US that's y young peeps find it diff getting the F1 student visa.
I contacted my school, they told me all I said was cool, they sent me likely questions to. What they told me was they have information of peeps that have received visa and in the US but Ye to report to the school after months in the US. A lady begged the CO the last time I was at the embassy that she had been denied 4 times, she got it.
