7 steps to studying in Germany - a short story of Chinwendu's experience
Step 1 - Apply early for admission
Chinwendu applied early to 6 different Universities in March/April. She received confirmation of admission by August.

Step 2 - Apply for study visa appointment
After applying for admission, she then applied for embassy appointment without waiting for confirmation of admission.
This is because it takes a long time to get an appointment for visa at the embassy (mainly for category B in Lagos)

Step 3 - Apply for scholarship (if possible)
She found out about the Deutschland scholarship and applied. Fortunately she was granted the scholarship in October – She had a 2:1 and a strong Motivation letter

The scholarship step is important for those who have already started their studies online but still waiting for appointment at the embassy. I suggest to contact the international office of your school for scholarship opportunities

Step 4: Apply for another visa appointment (if you get scholarship)
She reapplied for appointment at the embassy. This time for category A based on the scholarship she just received. She was in doubt if the scholarship was acceptable for CAT A since it was a partial scholarship

She applied anyways. Worst case scenario is for them to send her back at the embassy
Fortunately, she got an appointment for CAT A after 2 weeks of applying in October. Her CAT B application was still pending since april. That is simply the power of scholarship for study visa

Step 5: Fund your blocked account
She did not fund a blocked account & hoped that the scholarship letter would work
However, I recommend to fund your blocked account before going to the embassy except you get full scholarship

Step 6: Go to the embassy (obviously)
On the day of the interview in November, She was not required to pay visa fee since she had a German scholarship.
She was asked to fund the blocked account (minus 300 euro X 12 months scholarship) which was about 6732 euro.

Step 7: Travel to Germany (and bring agege bread for me😄)
She was glad and quickly raised & blocked the money. Her visa came in late December after applying pressure. She arrived in Germany 2-days before Christmas during heavy lockdown in Germany.

Congrats to @ChinwenduOkonk4 and thanks for sharing your story.
You can contact her for specific & important questions but she would really prefer if you ask her the questions directly on the TL.
