If you have plans to apply for scholarships later this year, then you'll definitely be writing a statement of purpose (SOP as we call it).

Here is a detailed guide to writing a winning statement of purpose.

Here is what people who have watched it, think about it.

So get on there, watch and apply the tips as well.

Guys asking questions about whether their CGPA cut it for scholarship selection, as long as the scholarship selection says it does, then it does. If they ask for second class upper and above, if you have 3.50 which is like the lower percentile for second class upper, you should.. still apply. This is because you made the academic cut off, and there might be other things that you have such as research experience, work experience, publications, volunteering and much more that the other applicants in your pool do not have.

It is no longer news that the information I share on this twitter account and on my YouTube channel for the benefit of scholars is done simply out of altruism.

Would I love to earn money for the time I spend to curate and share tweets, or to record, edit and share videos?

1/n For sure, I would love to earn financially for my hardwork!
However, I would never want to earn any money if it is going to be at the expense of people back home.
Never!
Especially since most of these ones can't afford it and should be getting support from me instead.

It's not every day scholarship, scholarship, on other days, let's talk about how you can land global job or internship opportunities.

So come Saturday, we will be doing something a little bit different. I will be hosting an ex-classmate who is now a GIS consultant with the WWF. Those in the forestry and wildlife fields know how much of a big deal that is.

We understand the current job market is difficult, especially with many people stuck at home. Saturday's chat will emphasize how to build and keep relationships online as well as build your online...

There is a popular adage where I come from that says "a person's house is far only when we do not love them".

My little 7-year old nephew wanted to send 2 bottles of maltina to me in Canada, when he learnt that a friend was coming down here from Nigeria. But of course,...

Undeterred, I was told he asked that they send me some of his biscuits and he was told once again that it is packaged goods and he might not be able to send it over except he unwraps it and put it in a ziplock. Boy wanted...

Question: I had a very good grade(1:1/2:1), sent my essays to many scholars and they okayed it, and I also made many applications yet they were all unsuccessful. Why?
Short answer: I don't know.

Long answer: Were your references as good as the rest of your application?
#aThread THE QUALITY OF YOUR REFERENCE(S) IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE REST OF YOUR APPLICATION PACKAGE.

Who is writing your reference letters? Is it some prof who is very busy and would just write you a lousy reference letter? Or is it some prof who never really liked you to start with?

Question: How many scholarships should I apply for before I can stand a chance?

Short answer: As many as possible.
Long answer: #athread

SCHOLARSHIP IS A GAME OF NUMBERS.

The more applications you submit, the higher your chances of landing one or many scholarships.

1/8 Here is the mantra I live by; "if you meet the minimum qualifications for a scholarship, give it a shot- your best shot!" I've had people ask me, this person graduated with a minimum 2:1, he had 3.5/5 CGPA, how did he win a scholarship? He applied, and his story resonated with..

Oro rirun!!!

I know a thousand and one first class graduates who are already a millionaire after collecting just their first scholarship allowance. I also know many who hold top corporate positions, earning 7 digits and they also graduated top of their class with a FIRST CLASS!

I also know many who graduated with a first class and are very successful entrepreneurs taking charge of their businesses and raking in millions annually.
So if your yardstick of an "average life" is those who are not millionaire then you tweet is utter garbage.

I graduated with a second class lower/third class from a university, or I have HND from a Polytechnic and I am interested in taking up a Master's degree in Canada. What can I do?
This is your #thread.

You have a 2:1/1:1, no problem but remember to RT this for others to see.
1/n First, Canadian institutions do not use the terminology "second class lower", "third class" and so on. The equivalent you'll find here is in percentage. I have attached an image from @umanitoba (one of the schools with the lowest percentage cut off) explaining this breakdown.

SCHOLARSHIP MASTERCLASS AND WEBINAR SCAMS!!! Part 2.

To you Scholarship enthusiast,
1. Don't be a "sheeple", and don't let these wolves prey on your desire for better opportunities and a chance at a better life.
2. Opportunities don't come on a platter of gold, you work for them 3. You see that website called google, it knows everything but you just have to search for it. One thing you will have to learn is how to search using keywords. If you are not ready to search, you should be ready to pay then I guess because free resources are available already.

Two nights ago, someone sent me an audio recording of a "traveling agent" who promised to connect him and his friend to Canadian employers who will employ them and help them get jobs in Canada, but they will have to pay.
RED flag! Don't ever fall for such, it's a scam.

I got interested in forex sometime in 2016 and to be fair it was one of these groups who wanted to make money off me from forex training that got me interested in it. These particular group associated themselves with imarketslive, but as @JE_dna and my close friends can confirm.. I always research every investment I want to get into, if not I am never getting into it. So after conducting my due diligence, I realized that imarketslive did not associate themselves with this company so I ignored their repeated calls and so called juicy offers.
I was still...
