Positioning Yourself for Scholarships with a 2.2 or 3rd Class Degree

Don't let your 2.2 or 3rd-class degree limit you. Here are some steps you can take to increase your chances:

1. Pursue a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) or Master's program in your home country. Many individuals with a 2.2 in their undergraduate degree have successfully completed a higher degree with good grades, leading to multiple scholarship opportunities abroad.

Re: Application Fee Waiver

Applying to different institutions could be cumbersome financially; however, some of these institutions may provide an application fee waiver if convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. Below is a template of an application fee waiver that you can modify accordingly.

SOP vs. Personal Statement

A Statement of Purpose (SOP) and a Personal Statement are both types of written documents that are often required as part of a graduate school or scholarship application. However, there are key differences between the two: Purpose: The primary purpose of an SOP is to provide information about a candidate's academic background, research interests, and career goals. The primary purpose of a Personal Statement is to give insight into the candidate's

Daniel's story is personal to me because I contributed to the journey. To imagine he earned $70 as a monthly salary before he left Nigeria is something baffling and the same time inspirational, especially for young grads like him.

Thank you @danmewo96

scholarshipscafe.com/blog-detail?id… It was on one of his scholarship nuggets that I dropped a comment that piqued Dr. Olumuyiwa's interest. Surprisingly, he came inbox to ask me how my preparations had been going. I told him that I had my transcripts ready and was already saving up for my passport.

TBT to my conversation with LSU. Please move on or take the test if you are really desperate about the school:

Dr. Igbalajobi,

First, I want to say we value your opinion on our English proficiency requirements. We do not consider Nigeria an English-speaking country. We require English placement scores for every student type (first-time/transfer/non-degree) and regardless of student status (domestic/international).

Dear Undergraduate students,

Congratulations on your resumption after a while of staying at home courtesy of the FG-ASUU feud. I am writing you this short piece and you may decide to frame it so that it serves as a constant reminder to you. Back in UNAD, precisely in 200l, I had my first carryover which was STAT 202, a 4-unit course. I was angry with myself and then I thought about something. Why not redirect this anger to a better me? This propelled me to work harder and graduated with a 3.95.

Nothing is impossible as long as you are determined and intentional

The first conversation we had was on the 16th of May 2021 on Linkedin. I forwarded my CV and SOP templates to her because she was considering another Ph.D. Earlier today, I noticed she got a lecturing role in the UK and decided to congratulate her. With permission from her, read her testimony

Oh, thanks so much Sir.

You contributed to my academic leap in ways you can never imagine

Is a low CGPA a limitation to securing a fully funded position? I have something for you!! Read this from Georgia Tech
Even so, we understand that we do deny admission to many excellent students due to program capacity limitations, and this is not a reflection on their qualifications. If a group of students all have equivalent grades and test scores, then other factors

Re: University of Tulsa

Hello Olumuyiwa,
Thank you for your email and inquiry to our requirements concerning English language proficiency at The University of Tulsa. Every college and university have their own specific requirements that need to be met in order to apply to their programs. Though we do require students from Nigeria to take an English proficiency exam, we have also offered waivers to Nigerian students. In order to petition for an English proficiency waiver, The University of Tulsa requires a letter of

As a follow-up to the email I sent 2 weeks ago, I spoke on phone with a representative from the registrar's office at the University of Lethbridge a few minutes ago.

I can confirm that applicants for their undergrad programs from Nigeria and other English-speaking African countries are exempt from the English proficiency tests. However, the graduate program page had two lists:
