I hear that some Final year students of some schools have just finished exams.

Please send this tweet to them.

This is what they should immediately do:

1. Talk to 3 or 4 of their lecturers about their prospects of applying for scholarships: They will need their lecturers

to write reference letters for them.

If they don't establish the relationship now, it may be hard to convince them to write references later.

Many people have made this mistake and are still regretting till today.

I explained very well in this link:

2. Go to their department and/senate building to inquire about their transcript: They should ask them how best to get their transcripts ASAP. If they can get it before leaving school finally, that will be very good.

Getting transcripts is one of the biggest reasons-

qualified candidates don't get scholarships.

3. Talk to their supervisor about the possibility of publishing their project: Tell them to discuss publications with their supervisors. They should ask their supervisors what they can do to understand the process of publishing a

research article. If their supervisor has a research lab, they should wait for some time to volunteer in their lab or any lab close to your school where they can really learn about research in their field.

4. Learn about updated software in their research field:

If you have paid someone to get your project done, make sure you learn all the software involved in that project and update your skills. This will help you when you start applying for scholarships.

5. Volunteer in different places: Make sure you are actively involved in

something productive. Don't sit at home, waiting for a call-up from NYSC. This is the time to brush up on your skills and volunteer. You will need volunteering activities in some scholarships, and it may be the deciding factor. Volunteer!!!
