Admitwithschola: Promising students ? Baba.... e dey happen. In my department, a guy was getting 4.5 CGPA in his final year. They told him plain he can't come out with a first class. Right now, I have a friend who just because 1 lecturer doesn't like him, he has been failing him since. Just his course. I was giving d in my IT and I did everything right, same person that did the IT with me in the same form got a B. I approached the lecturer, and was told that it wasn't my final score which when the main result came out, it was. If you try to report a lecturer, you'll get an extra year. If you're a girl, better be doing church church or don't dress well, or look dirty, or know a lot of higher staff. Stay humble. Things are happening. Enjoy. 1 Like |

Dear Op, I think you have come to a wrong site to seek for help. In case of other time. Such a topic should be directed to website like Quora that is full of intellectuals and well behaved individuals. You will be overwhelmed by the responses you will get. 4 Likes |

trilobite:Chinese Government Scholarship application in Nigeria is kind of complicated. I applied this year online and was asked to submit hard copy documents at the embassy but on reaching the embassy I was told that there is nothing of such, that Chinese Government Scholarship is a bilateral agreement between Chinese government and the Nigerian government therefore, federal scholarship board is incharge of the nomination process. But there was nothing of such on FSB website. It was a total waste of time and resources. |

Bro, I understand your pains. At least, I think I do. Now, you said you graduated with a 2:2,. That's not the end of the world. Firstly, google for websites that post scholarships which fit your profile. After this, subscribe to several of them. You should be able to get notifications from them in your email regularly. Try to get relevant research or work experience for your program of interest. You can volunteer if you have the time and financial wherewithal for it. Try and write the GRE and TOEFL and aim for very high scores. Even if you don't end up using them, just have them. Such high scores will boost your profile. You can also try to apply for a Nigerian MSc and do very well. I mean....excellently, jaw-dropping well. If you are a biological/health sciences person, you can send me a mail All the best bro and do not let the past determine your future. It is well with you 2 Likes |

czarina: You r so funny. It never occurred to you that their are some certain factors that militates or stand as a barrier to study. It depend on the school u went to anyway. But if it was to be a very competitive school you will see challenges. From lecturers, to economic factors, to even family problems and health issues. Don't just judge people any how. I was suppose to finish as the over all best in my school, I had health issues that lingard for over a year and I made 2.1. So don't judge ppl you don't kW what happened. And can never be in their shoes. Cos it only a barren woman that can tell the story of childlessness. 3 Likes |

Gidson05:There are different categories of Chinese Government Scholarship Scheme. One of them is that Bilateral and there are other ones in which you apply through Chinese Scholarship Council official website as well as the universities in China under the CSC scholarship scheme. You need to notarize your transcripts and certificates. And also send hard copies to those universities you applied to in China. Except few universities that do not request for such. However, many of these Chinese universities charge application fee ranging from 400RMB to 800RMB. Nevertheless, some of the universities do not request for such.

Dear Op, First, I will implore you to neglect negative comments from some posters here. Such comments are nothing and don't worth your time. Nevertheless, you can take their negative vibe as a source of motivation to achieve your desire. With that being said, there is no rule that says you can't get foreign scholarship with a 2'2 degree. What you need is information, motivation and mentorship. Yes, mentorship! You need experience of people who have achieved such feat with your class of degree. There is no need flogging on the issue of First Class or 2:1 here as you seem to have the know-how of some of the major scholarships on offer in Nigeria. But it will be useful if you can give some details on your course of study, and the state where you hail from. Who knows, you might be eligible for NDDC scholarship that is open to 2:2 graduates. On the USA part, one of the earlier poster gave good information that would be useful to you. You need to ace GRE like nobody's business. Your performance in it would cover for the shortfall in your CGPA. You might also look at Netherlands, Belgium and possibly Denmark. Mail faculty staff with research interest as yours and state your desire to work with them and that you would want to be considered for funding. You never can tell how it will turn out. I wish you success in this pursuit. Cheers. 7 Likes 1 Share |

whyteteeth: You must understand that this is a capitalist world, my friend. While I believe that you can succeed intellectually with your 2.2 - numerous professors and academics started with 2.2 -capitalism does not quantify emotions or feelings. There is always a standard benchmark and, where the applications are high, the standards are made even higher, from which numbers will be pruned. Young people do not realise this until it is too late. There are scholarships which 2.2's can apply for, put these are very few and far between. If indeed your academic strength has increased, I will suggest that you look towards publishing in your field, a journal paper. You should seek help with friends who are academics and publish in a medium to high impact factor paper. Once this is done and published, you can attach this to any application for a Masters in Research (MRes) program. Your application is certainly likely to be considered. It is a long way to the point where you want to get to, but it is possible and more achievable than applying for scholarship programmes where 2.1/1st class is the minimum requirement. Again, capitalism has no feelings. Best of luck. 3 Likes |

Not all scholarships specify 2:1 and 1st class. PTDF scholarship is open to 2,2 students with experience, you just have to have an extra edge like awards and publications, although they're done with registration for this year, you can try that of next year, probably around December Regards whyteteeth: |

Admitwithschola: Lol, guy, it doesn't work as you put it. There's no course in Nigerian universities and in diaspora that's called "measure theory". Real analysis specifically isn't for economics students any where in the world but for students studying mathematics or statistics at the undergraduate level. Furthermore, your submission for PhD admission in economics holds no water in Nigeria specifically. The reason is that no Nigerian University accepts MSc from a field other than economics into her PhD. And in PhD admission for economics, emphasis is majorly placed on micro economics, macro economics, and econometrics in the event of where the applicant attains either 60% weighted average or 4.0 on a 5.0 scale in MSc |
