How I Got A Fully Funded Scholarship To Study Abroad! A Personal Experience by Abeo2007: 2:06pm On Jul 20, 2020

Dear Nairalanders! My name is Abeo. Today I'm here to tell you how I managed to apply to the university of my choice abroad within Computer Science and Technology in China and got a fully funded scholarship. I will share every detail of my personal experience and I believe every Nigerian out there will find this very useful.

I will share some very important tips and I will try to answer as many questions as I can.

TIP 1.
Once you have chosen your field of study , it is important to choose the appropriate country.

For those in the technical field it is better to go to countries like Germany, Czech Republic and the United States. Also, there are very amazing Asian countries too, like : Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China.

For a degree in Design and Fashion, it is better to consider Italy or France. If you are interested in ecology, environmental protection and human rights movement, choose the countries of Nordic region (Sweden, Finland, Norway) or Switzerland.

TIP 2.
You should choose the university of your choice. One of the most useful resource is the ranking of The Times Higher Education World University Rankings and QS rating.

TIP 3. You should prepare all the relevant documents.
I have listed some of the documents below:
1) An authorized translation of your previous or current degree and transcripts.
2) A Motivation letter/Essay/Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose. 70% of your ultimate success really depends on this paper!
3)Copies of your letters of reference.
4)Language certificates. For studying in English — IELTS Academic(6.5 and above) or TOEFL.
5)Additional exams. For example, GMAT/GRE for graduate school in business and finance or portfolio for designers and artists.

TIP 4. You should select scholarship program:
There is a limited number of information aggregators about scholarships and grants:
Germany — DAAD;
France — CampusFrance;
China — CSC Scholarships
StudyFree (https://international.studyfree.org/africa) — the platform accumulates scholarships from 34 countries

TIP 5. DEADLINES!!!
By the time you apply for a scholarship, you must have all the relevant documents ready. This means that you need to prepare at least a year before or even a year and a half.

Entering a foreign university with full funding is real. I did it, so you CAN also do it!!!

Feel free to ask me questions.

I could advise you European countries like Germany, Netherlands. Also, look for China because China offers a lot of scholarships for international students. However, I found my program on StudyFree platform. Here's the link: https://international.studyfree.org/africa

, I recommend Italy because at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore there's Cattolica Africa Scholarship available to students from Africa who are studying within agriculture and food economics.
Also you can check out Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. It's one of the best for international students!

Unfortunately, it's hard. Universities where lectures are taught in English require you to take English proficiency test as IELTS or TOEFL. If you do not have these exams but have another English language proficiency test, you can get fully funded scholarships at many countries and universities, including universities of USA, Canada. But if you do not have any English language proficiency test, you can get scholarships from universities where lessons are not taught in English. For example, many universities of Germany do not require you English language proficiency test, lessons there are taught in German. Consequently they will require you test of proficiency of German language.

But you can find scholarships which covers the cost of the exams! Search in the Internet! Wish you good luck!!

Sometimes you can have low CGPA but have experience in extracurricular activities or some professional expertise that will help you to be a suitable candidate. Try to search for programs in Europe: Italy, Hungary, the Checz Republic for example.

Re: How I Got A Fully Funded Scholarship To Study Abroad! A Personal Experience by TONYE001(m): 4:56am On Jul 21, 2020

As at July 17th, OP was just told of this study free site by one 1emmanuel1 that is newly registered on Nairaland. Guess when this Emmanuel registered.... July 17th, 2020... Same day he responded to OP's question about finding a site for fully funded scholarships for Nigerian students. Dear OP, are you implying that between July 17th and today, you were able to complete the application process for your scholarship? You mean schools now issue scholarships in a matter of days (4 days actually)..?

Mr. 1emmanuel1 has made only three posts since he registered. They are all about study free. OP's account is newly created. As a matter of fact, OP created his account on the same day as Emmanuel.

Conclusion: these guys are promoting their site.

Now, I have absolutely no problem with this promotion. My only concern is that they are going about it dubiously. Why not come out straight and be truthful? I can't help but ask myself if the information on that site are legit.

Nairalanders, please be careful as you use the site.

Good morning.

Hello Nairalanders!

I want to explain what has happened in this situation. I’m just a simple student who found StudyFree. I will not hesitate to mention that this company helped me. Unfortunately, not so many Nigerians know about this company and I decided to tell my story and asked my friends to log in to help me in this promotion.

I didn’t want to look suspicious or hurt somebody’s feelings. I beg pardon. I don’t want to make troubles for this wonderful company and their good team. Sorry guys for looking suspicious! I understand my fault!

PS. I will continue answering questions of other users who asked for help in scholarships because my experience would be helpful. But then I will never ask my friends with different monikers help in promotion or something else.

Sorry bros for breaking the trust!

Bro, if you want to obtain bc in mathematics, you can find this program all over the world because this discipline is very popular (it can be China, European Countries or Canada). However, Canada doesn’t provide many scholarships with full coverage like other countries.
For bc you need to see the requirements on the site of the university you will apply to but usually you need good GPA, English proficiency test (if you’re willing to study in English), reference letters, letters of motivation.

What about scholarships for law students?

I highly recommend to look for DAAD Master’s Scholarships for Public Policy and Good Governance (PPGG). It’s a scholarship for students from Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. I should mention that this scholarship is for master’s degree.

Dear Nairalanders! My name is Abeo. Today I'm here to tell you how I managed to apply to the university of my choice abroad within Computer Science and Technology in China and got a fully funded scholarship. I will share every detail of my personal experience and I believe every Nigerian out there will find this very useful.

I will share some very important tips and I will try to answer as many questions as I can.

TIP 1.
Once you have chosen your field of study , it is important to choose the appropriate country.

For those in the technical field it is better to go to countries like Germany, Czech Republic and the United States. Also, there are very amazing Asian countries too, like : Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China.

For a degree in Design and Fashion, it is better to consider Italy or France. If you are interested in ecology, environmental protection and human rights movement, choose the countries of Nordic region (Sweden, Finland, Norway) or Switzerland.

TIP 2.
You should choose the university of your choice. One of the most useful resource is the ranking of The Times Higher Education World University Rankings and QS rating.

TIP 3. You should prepare all the relevant documents.
I have listed some of the documents below:
1) An authorized translation of your previous or current degree and transcripts.
2) A Motivation letter/Essay/Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose. 70% of your ultimate success really depends on this paper!
3)Copies of your letters of reference.
4)Language certificates. For studying in English — IELTS Academic(6.5 and above) or TOEFL.
5)Additional exams. For example, GMAT/GRE for graduate school in business and finance or portfolio for designers and artists.

TIP 4. You should select scholarship program:
There is a limited number of information aggregators about scholarships and grants:
Germany — DAAD;
France — CampusFrance;
China — CSC Scholarships
StudyFree (https://international.studyfree.org/africa) — the platform accumulates scholarships from 34 countries

TIP 5. DEADLINES!!!
By the time you apply for a scholarship, you must have all the relevant documents ready. This means that you need to prepare at least a year before or even a year and a half.

Entering a foreign university with full funding is real. I did it, so you CAN also do it!!!

Feel free to ask me questions.

Is the scholarship available for Undergraduates too?
Never been to a University, so I have no transcripts
