One of the main reasons Nigerian youths move abroad is because of scholarship opportunities in foreign universities, and you shouldn’t be exempted from these rare academic opportunities – if you’d only take the necessary steps to research into foreign scholarship offers that meet your academic and career needs.
We’ve done the initial research for you here by listing out 5 of the foreign universities that offer Nigerian students full scholarships abroad; however, you’d need to analyze individual offers and see how they meet your basic and peculiar needs before taking the next required steps toward getting admission in your desired school of choice.
Diverse scholarships exist for undergraduate, graduate, master, Ph.D, and post-doctoral programs, but you must do your due diligence before settling for any particular school of choice.
