A SHORT LETTER
Dear Undergraduate,
I know you have been delayed by incessant ASUU strikes. I know you should have graduated by now but you are still stuck. While you feel down, I come with a few words that you can take note of:
Dear Undergraduate,
I know you have been delayed by incessant ASUU strikes. I know you should have graduated by now but you are still stuck. While you feel down, I come with a few words that you can take note of:
1. You have not lost any time and you have not been delayed. This is the time to strengthen your skills.
Take up volunteering and internship positions while you are home and waiting to graduate. Remember that they will boost your CV and SOPs in the future.

2. Do not rush, we will not run out of international scholarships. They are always there for you. Make a deliberate list of the scholarships you want to apply for when you graduate.
Look at their eligibility criteria. What are they? Do they need IELTS, GRE, TOEFL?

Begin to save up towards writing the required exams.
Do they need work experience? Begin to build your professional experience through volunteering and internships.
Do they need publications? begin to have discussions with your supervisor about publishing your thesis.

Do they need publications? begin to have discussions with your supervisor about publishing your thesis.
Do they require SOPs and essays? Begin to practice how to write those essays and share with mentors to review for you. What is wrong if your essays are ready 2 years before you apply?
3. Make use of the free resources here and everywhere. Be a voracious "THREAD BOOKMARKER" and take time to study threads. Ask specific questions about your plans. Do not enter DMs and say "How do I get scholarships?"😳. You might not be taken seriously.
4. If you deliberately make these plans, you will notice that you are fully ready to apply for most scholarships before or after your NYSC.
The first International scholarship I was awarded was in 2016 but I began to plan for it in 2011/12.

It took me 5years before I hit the jackpot and I hit big with full funding from @WHO and @commschols. My life has never been the same since then.
START YOUR PREPARATION NOW AND YOU WILL BE FULLY ARMED WHEN YOU GRADUATE.
Other scholars might have more to add.

AAP
