In case you still don't believe that a 2 2 student can get a scholarship, read this:

This is one of the testimonies from the FREE mentorship class we started last year by @AdeleyeSamuelA and I.

(No entrance into that class again, so don't come to my dm to ask.)

Profile:
1. Second Class Lower
2. Did GRE and TOEFL
3. Sent more than 200 Emails
4. Did WES Evaluation
4. Learnt how to send emails and ask the right questions from the group.

When I met her, I told her to remove her CGPA from her CV and dig deep into the professor's research so as to
send a very captivating email.

Her proposed supervisor single-handedly followed up on her matter after a very nice zoom meeting.

Well, the rest, as they say, is history.

She will be sent an official email from the Grad school that has all the benefits soon.

Don't give up, yet

STUDYING IN NORWAY🇳🇴

Yes, we are back again in Norway😍

Tag your friends here to get all the info about Admission in this country.

Norway used to have a scholarship known as the Norwegian Quota Scholarship Scheme for Developing Countries.
Unfortunately, the scholarship has been stopped: studyinnorway.no/News/The-quota…

But the good thing is that studying in Norway is absolutely tuition-FREE, for public schools at all levels.

You just have to be sure your course is taught in English, except you understand
the Norwegian Language. For Bachelor's degree, Universities are not much compared to Msc and PhD degrees, using English as the medium of instruction.

So how do you apply?

First, click this link to see the schools available in Norway:

If you see any admission condition that says that you don't need to contact anyone in your department to get a scholarship, let me interpret what they mean in basic simple English.

I have received tons of questions about this.

So read:
1. You can get admission for sure if you meet the minimum qualifications. However, scholarship decisions will be based on the available budget.

Departments/School may have some assigned budgets for a particular semester. So, you will be competing with many other people
who have been given admission too. Hence, the scholarship may not get to you.

2. This means that you have to either source for the money, get to the school and hustle just like @amuta_ann did, or look for agencies that can give you grants.

By the way, scholarship decisions are based on holistic application package review.

If you are weak in an area, complement it with other resources.

Irrespective of your grade, there is a scholarship that suits your profile if you can search.

Let me explain:
1. If you are changing your field because of work experience, do something online related to that field so that you can convince anyone that you have the background.

Learn how to write good SOP to explain yourself. Write application exams and pass excellently.
Send emails to Grad co-ordinators, tell them about what you have and ask them what you want. They will reply.

2. Recently, I discovered some USA schools accept HND after I told people in my class to send emails and ask questions. However, do WES evaluation if you have the money.
