If you have Admission WITHOUT funding, gather here, let me tell you how to go about it.

RT and tag your friends; digest this important info.

Let's go:

FACTS:

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

Departments/Schools may have some assigned budgets for a particular semester. So, you will be competing with many other people

who have been given admission already. 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, or look for agencies that can give you grants. You and I know that this is very tedious.

3. However, those that have gotten the supervisor's consent may be on the list of his personal grants which may or may not be from the department. This means that even if you don't get the school's scholarship, supervisors can still bring you from their grants.

This makes you absolutely safe.

Well, to get a supervisor is also hard work in case you don't know, especially if they don't have grants; but it's a better route.

So, if you have any admission without funding, these are your options:

a. Send email to the dept. to ask for possible funding options.

b. Look for a supervisor that will accept you (He/She may have gotten someone already)

c. Forget the admission, go through the email route (read my pinned tweet 5-8), get the consent of a new supervisor before you

apply. Be sure that you have discussed funding with the supervisor.

I know some supervisors will tell you they don't have the power to choose anyone until you apply. Still, contact them with your application number after you must have successfully applied.

With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that the Supervisor way is the best way.

Thanks😂
