 Preface

Access to quality education is one of the biggest pursuits of a great number of persons from
low and middle-income backgrounds. This noble aspiration is however often limited due to lack
of funds to undertake such projects. Students from developing and under developed countries
are typically faced with the challenge of acquiring good education particularly at the tertiary level.
Education is very costly especially in this 21st century. While many are held back from achieving
their academic dreams due to lack of funds, others have however overcome the huddles to bag
their desired qualifications from the tertiary institutions.
One of the well-known means of academic funding which many have exploited in time past and
a lot still aspire to is scholarship. All or part of the funds needed to undertake the student’s
studies are usually covered and borne by the funding body which could be organizations,
governments, the host institution, individuals, communities or even families. Scholarships can be
need-based (considering the financial status of the applicants) or merit-based (focusing on the
academic standing or performance of the applicants). Consequently, each scholarship has its own
target group and eligibility criteria. “Never apply for any scholarship that you never met the
eligibility criteria and requirements” is the GOLDEN RULE! Doing otherwise will be a waste of time
and other resources.
Hundreds of scholarships and funding opportunities are available all year round in different fields
and levels of studies. But, just a few percent of students actually get to know or even apply for
these scholarships which would have otherwise impacted a lot on their overall academic pursuits
if they had applied and were successful. It is very important to know about such important
opportunities and even keep tab of up-coming openings so as to prepare well ahead, gathering
the necessary supporting documents and submitting the completed application before the
deadline. Most scholarships are very competitive and the best a student can do is to be well-
composed and prepared for the targeted scholarship prior to the application opening.
This scholarship guide has been compiled to help students at any level of academic pursuit to
keep abreast with scholarship opportunities that are available within the year. It is also a guide
for those that plan to apply for scholarships that have fixed application cycle such as the
Commonwealth and British Chevening Scholarships. Grants and fellowship opportunities are also
included for scholars in different fields who need these specific funding for their career
advancements. With over 750 funding opportunities, this guide is indeed a great resource for
students and scholars.

 Admissions Tips

Applying for admissions into universities is a rigorous and highly demanding task for students.
While many try to go through the whole process with little or no assistance, others often seek
the help of admission coaches and consultants. The admissions offices of many universities are
always open for enquiries from prospective students, in addition to their well spelt out
admissions information and regularly updated prospectus. Universities however, have adopted
a method of answering the most repeated and vital admission questions by aggregating them
under the “frequently asked questions (FAQs)”. Truly, it is almost very impossible to respond to
every admission enquiry received from the readers. Thus, we have also adopted the FAQs
method here to clearly address a few but very important admission concerns, especially for
students planning to study abroad.

Admissions Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. When and how do I apply?

You can start your application at the beginning of the application cycle. Each institution as well
as countries has different dates. Universities in United States and Canada typically have
admissions cycles running from September to January for the following fall admissions. Within
this period, the application portals are open and applicants are expected to submit all required
application documents (including transcripts, letters of recommendation, tests reports, etc.)
before the closing date. Universities in places like UK and Europe have application cycles running
from January to June for the September/October enrollment date. Other countries have their
different application cycles. Applications for admissions are usually done online via each
institution’s website. Most countries (USA, UK, etc.) have a central admissions system for
undergraduate application. Some universities offer a downloadable application form for does
who do not have access to computers and internet.

2. What do I need to apply?

Apart from the basic personal information such as legal names, address and other contacts,
applicants are usually expected to provide the following documents and materials to support
their application. They include, a transcript containing records of your previous academic
undertaking and grades earned, two or more recommendation letters written by former teachers
or lecturers, official standardized test reports such as SAT, GRE, TOEFL, according to the academic
level you are applying for. Other materials to submit includes a personal statement or essay
which helps the admissions panel to get to “meet” the applicant as a person and understand their
drives and motivation for seeking the admission. Postgraduate applicants are additionally asked

9
to submit a CV or resume, as well as a proposal for the research they plan to undertake. Financial
statement forms or prove of finance documents may be requested by some universities. Note
that all the required supporting documents must be submitted via the recommended channels
(online or by post) before the stated deadline, otherwise the application will be treated as
incomplete, and will not be reviewed.

3. Which school or country should I apply to?

This is basically all about the student’s preferences and expectations. So, the key is to know what
you want and go for it! What is your discipline and career aspirations? Different universities have
comparative advantages in certain disciplines and programs. Johns Hopkins is renowned for
public health research, MIT is good in engineering, Harvard is top in medicine and MBA, while
Yale have very high-ranking law program. You should also bear in mind that high-ranking
universities and programs are very competitive and have high rejection rate. The choice of the
country to study could be based on several factors, including the educational system, the
required entry qualifications, the duration of the intended course of study and even the nature
or type of degree or qualification to be earned. Be sure to confirm that the degree to be earned
in the country you propose to study would be acceptable on return to your home country.

4. Do I need to pay anything to apply?

Yes and no! Application for admission is free for most universities and countries. However, most
universities in countries like the United States and the UK accepts application fees (between 70-
90 US Dollars) for both undergraduate and postgraduate applications. The fee is paid as part of
the application, and not making the payment by the application deadline marks your application
as incomplete, and it will not be reviewed. Application fee waiver is available to some applicants
who meet certain eligibility criteria.

5. Which course can I study and what is the duration?

The lists of courses studied in the conventional universities are too many to list here, from the
arts to the sciences. Courses and programs are often listed on each institution’s website including
the course structures, the duration of study and the qualification to be earned. Bachelor’s
degrees could be earned within three to four years, master’s degrees in one to two years, while
doctorate degrees could be bagged after two to five years. The number of years varies depending
on the degree or level of studies, the course and the institution, as well as the country of study.
For instance, studying medicine and law is undertaken after four years of undergraduate studies
in the united states, and they are normally completed in four and three years respectively.

6. Which exams do I need to write?

The standardized tests to be taken by applicants depends on the level of studies, the course of
study, and where (country) the applicant had done the previous studies. English test (TOEFL or
IELTS) score is required to be submitted by individuals applying for admissions in USA, UK, Canada
and other English-speaking countries. Some exceptions could be made for applicants who have

10
undertaken a study from an English-speaking country. Other important admission tests include,
SAT (undergraduate studies), GRE (postgraduate studies and some law and business schools),
MCAT (medical school), LSAT (Law school), GMAT (business school), etc. Test scores are waived
for some applicants on case-by-case basis. More information on standardized admissions tests
can be found on the appendix.

7. Will I have to pay for my tuition and other fees?

Yes and no! Tuition fees are currently waived for studies at both undergraduate and postgraduate
levels in Germany, Finland and some other countries. Complete and partial need-based and
merit-based scholarships are offered by various universities and departments. Doctorate studies
at universities in the United States are fully-funded, and accepted candidates are also paid
monthly stipends throughout the duration of studies. Fully-funded programs at all levels are
available in many institutions in other countries. Information about funding and financial
assistance are often provided in most universities’ website.

yourself. If admitted, the university will send you a visa are generic. They are just a

students who get to this point are often successful and need to check the university’s

student all the right for studying in the country in that admissions officers including

in his visa, including the work hour limits and so on. was not addressed in their
FAQs section.
9. Will I get job during and after my studies?
You can work during your studies provided it is stated in the study visa. However, be sure to work
within the stated number of hours. Anything to the contrary is against the law. Most importantly,
keeping to the permitted working hour gives the student the time to concentrate on the
academics and course work related activities. After graduation, most countries grant
international students a post study work permit visa category which grants them the legal right
to remain and work in the country.

10. Will I stay back after my studies?

Yes and no! You can if the country has a provision for it and you met the requirements. In that
case, you apply to be switched to another visa category which grants you the right to stay back.
You will have to return back to your home country after your studies if the country does not grant
that kind of permission to stay. The UK currently does not grant such permissions for
international students.

 Scholarship Application Tips

Applying and getting a scholarship should not be a difficult thing, contrary to what most students
encounter. We receive tones of questions via calls and e-mails from students on how to go about
applying for scholarships. We love the fact that a great number of students and even graduates
are very interested in searching and applying for scholarships. Thus, we’ve done a review of some
of the vital aspects of scholarship application that most applicants tend to give little or no
attention. We have ensured that these reviews are made in very clear and yet detailed format.
The following scholarship application tips are presented in no particular order and could be
followed as a rule of thumb.

1. Be in good academic standing:

If I were in the scholarship selection panel, I will select the ‘A’ students first, before the ‘B’ and
‘C’ students in that order. So, go for the good grades! It is said that scholarship favours the good
student. Most scholarships, especially those that are fully-funded are merit-based. Thus, they are
highly competitive, and if you are not in good academic standing, your chances of making it in
the list will be very limited. So, put good effort in your studies and make it reflect on your results
and grades. That is the starting point to the success you dream about. If you aspire for a
postgraduate scholarship, then your target should be a first class or good second class upper.

2. Identify the ‘right’ scholarships

This is completely your responsibility. What is the right scholarship for you to apply for, and what
makes it right? The right scholarship is one meant for students in your field of study. It is one you
met all the eligibility requirements. And it is one that is in line with your academic aspirations and
career goals. If you want to study linguistics, and a scholarship for the study of fine and applied
art is available, then you will have to think if it is really what you need. Note that you may not be
a strong candidate when applying in another field different from yours. Also, you may not have
the capacity to undertake the study in that discipline. Finally, you may end up in a field that you
have no interest in and may not find fulfillment there. Wait and keep searching until you find the
‘right’ scholarship for you.

3. Ensure you met ‘all’ the requirements

Do not apply for any scholarship that you did not meet “all” the requirements. If you do, then
there is a hundred percent guarantee that it is a waste of time making such application. Eligibility
requirements such as citizenship, age, sex, academic qualification, field of study, year of
graduation, country of residence, and many more are always strictly adhered to. So, if you don’t
meet the requirements, just forget about it. It’s as simple as that.

12
 4. Get good recommendations
Recommendations and references are essential aspects of the scholarship application. This is a
unique opportunity to project you before the selection panel. Ensure the recommenders can
assess you very well, and that they have the required relationship with you, such as your teachers,
lecturers, or project supervisor. Recommendations may also be required from your supervisor at
work, a team leader or a clergy. Your recommenders should follow the prescribed format for
writing and sending the recommendation letter, such as putting it on a letter heading, sealing the
envelop and mailing the hard copy or simply uploading it online. Lastly, ensure all your
recommenders meet the submission deadline.

5. Turn in good personal statement or essay

Here you have to sell yourself to the panel through your own words on paper. So, go ahead and
blow your own horns. However, be moderate and provide only verifiable information. Personal
statement allows you the opportunity to write anything about yourself including your motivation,
the reason for applying for the scholarship, and how being awarded the scholarship will benefit
you and your community, plus the society at large. One secret about writing both the personal
statement and essay is that you have to be very creative in presenting all the points. Unleash
your creative writing skills and possibly “wow” your reader.

6. Beat the deadlines

Simply avoid the last minutes rush. Once you have settled
about a particular scholarship opening, then go straight

the site. Apply in time and beat the deadline.
7. Prepare for the tests/interviews
Most scholarship applications often incorporate tests and interviews which help to select the
best out of the shortlisted good candidates. The little secret here is to study ahead before the
call for the tests and interviews. You may have to enquire about the tests and interviews’
structures and patterns and then go ahead to source for useful materials to aid in the
preparation. The tests and interviews usually cover topics on general knowledge, verbal and
quantitative reasoning, language skills, current affairs, discipline-specific knowledge, and some
professional competency testing. Whatever structure or format it comes, adequate preparation
for the tests and interviews is key.

13
 8. Apply to more than one scholarship opening
Applying to more than one scholarship opportunity where possible, is a very wise act. Once you
are eligible, then go ahead to apply to as many as you can. Just bear in mind that scholarships are
very competitive and you may be part of those who get the rejection letter at the end of the day.
So, a very easy way to cushion the effect of any possible rejection is to apply to as many
scholarship openings that are available. It is wise here not to put all your eggs in one basket. You
may succeed with all or some of the scholarships you have applied for.

492
APPLICATION OPENS APRIL 15, 2020 AND CLOSES MAY 31, 2020

There are many determined and talented, low-income students in Nigeria who only
require financial resources and access to information to better their educational future.
For the 11th year, the United States Embassy, Nigeria seeks to identify academically
qualified and highly motivated, low-income students in Nigeria to join the EducationUSA
Opportunity Funds Program (OFP).

OFP’s mission is to assist talented and determined, low-income students who are good
candidates for financial assistance from U.S. colleges and universities but lack the
financial resources to cover the up-front cost of obtaining admission.
 OFP works closely with students through regularly scheduled meetings and seminars to
assist them throughout the application process to secure admission and scholarships to
attend colleges and universities in the United States. OFP finances the cost of the
application process, including registration fees for required standardized examinations
and provides free membership to the U.S. EducationUSA Advising Center for its
participants. OFP expects a sincere commitment from the students to give their energy
and time to the program so that they may achieve their dreams of study in the United
States.

Applicants are welcome from all the states in Nigeria. However, students must be able to
reach our offices in Abuja or Lagos on a monthly basis during the program for full
participation. Participants will work with our EducationUSA Advisors from June 2019 –
August 2020 to try to secure places and financial assistance to begin study in the U.S. in
August 2020.

NOTE: ENTRANCE INTO THIS PROGRAM IS NO GUARANTEE OF A

 Conclusion

Securing a scholarship, grant or fellowship for one’s academic or research activities is a great
achievement. It never happened by chance as many would think. Rather, it is a product of hard
work, commitment and excellence in one’s academics. You can win a lottery by luck, but you get
a scholarship by working for it. This eBook is a part of our commitments towards helping the
already hardworking students from low and middle-income background to secure needed
funding for their studies at any academic level across different fields. Apart from the funding
opportunities contained in this eBook, more and more opportunities come up every day. Knowing
about these opportunities is very key to achieving success. Now the opportunities are here
outlined in the over six hundred pages of this book.

Knowing about the funding opportunities contained in this eBook is one thing, but applying for
the opportunities is another matter. Bear in mind that you can only be successful and of course
benefit from only where you have applied. It is the fact that most of the times, the requirements
could be very demanding, not to mention the stress of putting together all the needed supporting
documents. Also, the self-limiting thoughts of failure and the sense of not being the “right”
candidate is real and it does happen to most persons out there. But one can rise above these
challenges to achieve their goals. Most persons give up after one or two rejections, but not being
accepted at any time doesn’t mean that one will never be accepted. It only means that one should
go do a little bit of work and come back with a stronger application.

Just like every other compilation, this eBook is not a “complete” list of all available scholarships,
grants and fellowships that are available to the target group. We also acknowledge that
information provided in this eBook may change at any time. It is the reader’s responsibility to
always cross-check the current status, eligibility requirements and the application cycle of each
entry prior to making the application. We therefore advice users to always visit the relevant
websites via the weblinks provided here in. nonetheless, we are committed to maintaining the
accuracy and authenticity of the information provided through regular updating and reviews.

We advise that the reader fully subscribe to our mailing list in order to stay connected with the
latest funding opportunities which we send via the registered e-mail contacts. You can also
connect with us through the online (www.openscholarshipsng.com) and social media platforms
(Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.). We look forward to further meaningful interactions with you.
Congratulations in advance to your success.

STANDARDIZED TESTS INFO

TOEFL
Many international students consider studying in a college or university within the United States, UK and other
English-speaking countries. In order to be accepted as an international student, most colleges and universities may
require them to take standardized tests. One such exam, the TOEFL, is used by universities to assess the level of
English language proficiency. The TOEFL exam is necessary in academic setting to be sure students can get by in an
English-speaking environment. So, what is the TOEFL? Find out more details from the official website:
https://www.ets.org/toefl

IELTS
Since 1989, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) has been a global standardized English test
designed to measure the English language proficiency of people who plan to study or work where English is the
language of communication. IELTS is a paper-and-pencil test with 4 sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and
Speaking, and includes a live, face-to-face speaking interview with a trained and certified Examiner. This allows for
a more realistic measure of a speaker’s English proficiency and real-world communication abilities.

International students who are non-native English speakers are typically required to provide evidence of their English
abilities before they are admitted into a US college or university. IELTS provides a fair, accurate and reliable measure
of language skills, and is trusted by organizations worldwide as a proof of English proficiency.

More than 9,000 organizations in 140 countries around the world accept IELTS. Last year, over 2.9 million IELTS tests
were taken, making it the world’s most popular high-stakes English language proficiency test for study, work, and
migration purposes. For more details and how to take the test, check the official website: https://www.ielts.org/

SAT
The Scholastic Aptitude Test, also known as the SAT, is taken by high school juniors and seniors applying to colleges
and universities. This exam can be taken internationally six times during the year. Find out when to take it, how to
take it, and why as we as other details from the official website: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat

627
ACT
When applying to colleges, there are numerous factors to consider, including coursework, location, size and
expenses, just to name a few. However, in order to narrow down the possibilities, taking the American College Test
(ACT) exam is beneficial, and, in some cases, required. While this exam can be both difficult and time consuming,
consistency and preparation are key, and once finished, you will have a better idea of which university is right for
you. Learning more about the ACT, what it is, the parts involved and how to best anticipate what to expect is not
only crucial for success but will also help to optimize your results. Find out more from the official website:
https://www.act.org/#

GRE
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) measures your ability to succeed at graduate-school level studies, exactly like
the SAT and ACT measure your ability to succeed at undergraduate schooling. Your score on the GRE is one of the
primary factors used by university admissions officers for determining whether or not to accept you into their
programs. As such, it is important to prepare for the GRE and score as highly as you can. Find out more details about
the GRE on the official website: https://www.ets.org/gre

GMAT
The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is created and administered by the Educational Testing Service
(ETS). Admissions officers use the GMAT to measure academic ability. In fact, ETS data has shown that GMAT scores
are consistently good, though imperfect, predictors of academic success in the first year of business school. GMAT
scores are also used by admissions committees as a useful guide in comparing the credentials of candidates from
widely varying backgrounds.

The exam itself measures general verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills. It does not test business
competence nor specific subject knowledge. The GMAT is a standardized test. Standardized tests by definition are
predictable. Knowing the format and structure of the exam and applying certain strategies to address them can
significantly increase score levels. In short, targeted preparation is the key to success on the GMAT. Find out more
about the GMAT on the official website: https://www.gmac.com/gmat-other-assessments.aspx

LSAT

The legal field is an ever more popular option for international students around the world. The LSAT exam is the
exam that students will need to take in order to gain admission into top law schools around the United States. Find
out more about the LSAT on the official website: https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/about-the-lsat

628
MCAT
Interested in going to medical school? After you earn an undergraduate degree, you are almost ready to apply, but
first you must take an entrance exam. The Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT) exam is the primary exam for
medical school admission and is required for all programs. Find out more about the MCAT and how register for the
test on the official website: https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/taking-mcat-
exam/register-mcat-exam/

DAT

If you’ve always enjoyed going to the dentist (or maybe just appreciated what he or she does!), are fastidious about
dental hygiene and enjoy studying the sciences, then perhaps dental school is the path for you. However, in order
to begin your journey as a dentist in training, taking the DAT exam is necessary. It is critical to learn more about the
DAT before taking the exam, including what it is, registration, the test structure and components, grading and how
to proceed after the test. This can be found on the official website: https://www.ada.org/en/education-
careers/dental-admission-test
