I am referring to those that have not started or are in the process gathering information.
Pre-application:
This is the most important stage of your application, the outcome of your scholarship pursuit rests majorly on this phase.
What should I do?
Make a list of at least 50 Schools offering your desired program(s). Select the schools across board from low to high ranked Schools. (Google strategically)
Look out for Professors that you can work with and make a map.
I strongly advise you not to lie in your application.
Alternatively, I’ll advise you to package your CV and make it stand out.
Leadership and volunteering roles are good selling points, let me show you some tricks:
1) Mr A wrote : I served as Financial Secretary of my Department between 2018-2019.
Mr B wrote: I managed, organized and coordinated financial records of over 1,000 students between 2018-2019.
2) Mr A wrote: My role as choirmaster exposed me to organizing and coordinating projects.
Mr B : As the Chief Musical Director of X, I led a team of 100 chorister to the National music festival. I learnt excellent interpersonal and communication skill while doing this.
In a forward thinking Country, one will expect the Senate and House of Representatives to summon the President and slam him with impeachment notice for failing to protect Nigerians.
Unfortunately, the Senate and House of Representatives are largely occupied by members of .....
the President’s political party. I kid you not, they’re just taking pay check and feeding the President’s ego. To them it is all about party loyalty rather than patriotism. The President is aware of how solid his cabals are and will not be bothered with the agony of the masses
The Judiciary on the other hand have not provided comfort to Nigerians. Matters demanding urgent sentences are dragged until amnesia sets in. It is a planned attempt to keep the country in perpetual misery.
I am tired of reading news of death, kidnapping and banditry......
