To help you embark on this exciting journey towards securing a scholarship to study abroad, Oludayo Sokunbi (Deewon), a scholarship consultant, rolled out 13 invaluable tips for ambitious high school students and seasoned undergraduates with dreams of studying overseas for advanced degrees.

1. Get Int’l passport

An “international passport” is an official government-issued travel document that certifies the identity and nationality of the holder.

It typically contains the holder’s name, photograph, date of birth, nationality, and unique identification number.

Passports are essential for international travel, as they provide proof of identity and citizenship and allow individuals to cross international borders legally.

2. Write TOEFL/GRE/IELTS

TOEFL, GRE, and IELTS are standardised tests commonly required for admissions to educational institutions, particularly in English-speaking countries, and sometimes for immigration or employment purposes.

TOEFL means Test of English as a Foreign Language, GRE means Graduate Record Examination, and IELTS means International English Language Testing System.

The choice between TOEFL, GRE, or IELTS depends on one’s specific goals, the requirements of the institution or organisation you are applying, and one’s personal preferences.

3. Talk to your past lecturers about recommendation letters

This is another crucial aspect of obtaining a scholarship that will help widen the chances of an individual to attain a scholarship.

Your past professors and supervisors must attest to you by writing a recommendation letter.

This letter must contain your good attributes before it can boost your chances.

4. Get your undergraduate transcript from your school

Your previous university must provide your transcript for a shot at a postgraduate scholarship program.

This transcript will be sent to the prospective foreign school for vetting and verification.

Also, the grades contained in the transcript constitute a significant booster for a shot at obtaining a scholarship.

Other tips to consider include;

13. Pray, Work hard, and Network.
