Scholastica16:Good day bruv...having gone through this thread..I developed interest to write GRE and TOEFL...first of all..here is my profile .. Graduate of Electrical Engineering (CGPA 4.22/5), I'm planning to write TOEFL and GRE, please which universities in Europe grant full time scholarships for Msc? Also, is it possible to secure a fully funded Phd in the US? If yes, which universities may I earn that opportunity?..Thank you very much in advance 1 Like |

Cephas0009: It is well. So you would send as many potential advisors emails this time around. That is something I would consider if I am to retry. If you can just get 1 person to respond, it will be easy like a Sunday morning. 2 Likes |

bagger293: Again, your GPA is good. I don't know much about schools in Europe but I know most German MSc programs are tuition free. You might consider them. Take note however, you would need to front €8000 for room and board for a year. I know Finland has the same Tuition free regimen as well as Norway (?). Brother Amofum might enlighten you more on France and you might check the Netherlands Visa thread to research TUDelft as well. As for your 2nd question, yes, it is possible to secure a fully-funded Direct PhD admission off the bat. It takes grace and serendipity. For possible schools, you may need to do your own research but one tip that would help you is to check admission results on grad cafe in the last 4 or 5 months. You want to be a researcher, so take your time to study reported schools and profiles. You can then send emails to grad coordinators to inquire more, or jump the gun and email potential advisors straight. Someone on NL got fully-funded by Montana Tech/University of Montana for a PhD in EEE. You might start from there. Good luck! |

Scholastica16:Thank you very much brother...I have checked the universities in Finland but I haven't seen any scholarship opportunity which covers everything including living cost.The universities being tution free, one has to cater for his living and other costs, I've checked TU Delft too |

Scholastica16: Smart choice with Chemical Engineering. Have you checked Washington State Uni.? They have a strong Chemical Engineering program and funding. You can still get in with a BSc. I think timing and availability of funds matter a lot. Don't give up....keep pushing. Winners never quit. 3 Likes |

Scholastica16: Glad you're back man! Reading your post capped my day. Nice plan You've got there. Still, while I believe your UK detour is a good move (efficient use of the 1 year wait), I still hope you get the funding package from MSU. As for me, I've switched majors. I'm now interested in Industrial Engineering (operations research). I'm also considering an MSc in Nigeria to bolster my getting admitted/funded... Once again, welcome! 1 Like |

Am writing this with great excitement knowing you are a professional in my dream field of study, am highly interested in any graduate student position available in plant science. I studied plant physiology and crop production (plant breeding) from the University of Agriculture Abeokuta in Nigeria. My..... Been involved in this research work would afford me the opportunity to gain broad experience in plant physiology discipline beyond the designated research project. I worked on evaluation of four drought tolerance maize (Zea mays L) varieties for fertilizer levels and spacing in Trans-ecological with a professor in my undergraduate program. Am highly industrious and willing to work hard. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by obene12: 4:43am On Jul 26, 2017 |
Thank you for your interest in my research. It would be a pleasure to serve as your postgraduate research advisor. I only accept student for full research degree as either MPhil or PhD research. Your CV shows that you current do not have a strong research profile and therefore would be difficult to secure a AA scholarship to study at AA If you are able to provide evidence of scholarship for the research, we can consider your request before you apply to AA. I wish you all the best and hope you can secure a research scholarship for your study plan. st |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by obene12: 4:47am On Jul 26, 2017 |
I had to write back to him stating am a bit naive abt what he meant by strong research profile with my detailed CV on research work done. Am getting a feeling he meant my work been published still in doubt but still yet to get a response back from him almost 3 days now. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by happyday: 11:58am On Jul 26, 2017 |
obene12: temmitats' answer is spot on. The only thing I would add is that if you're really keen on working with him, you could get money to sponsor your MPhil, get in, and then apply for a funded PhD position. Things get relatively easier once you're already in the system. They might even take up your funding once you show promise after your first semester in MPhil. Also, even though you'll be working in his lab, your entire app would still be vetted by the Dept's admission committee. He can't see how you could get pass that Dept filter with your current research experience, even though he wants you "so badly." So getting his 'yes' doesn't mean an automatic admit. It just makes things somewhat easier. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by happyday: 12:12pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
Scholastica16: Hmm, it's well. Let's count on Michigan for now then. Getting into LSU's ChemE is becoming hard of late. Same for other Houston schools, outside UT Austin. A common factor I've seen though is that, even with little or no research experience, most int'l admits had really superb undergrad GPA OR compensated with very high GRE scores. Either one or the other. Having a Nigerian faculty in these depts would definitely make things easier. Even if they aren't currently accepting students, they'd know of other profs with funding. But there's none here, AFAIK. Hence why we need people like you to[i] not[/i] give up, so we can have our people there. 2 Likes |

bagger293: That is the problem: apart from the US and to some degree Canada, it is very difficult to find a completely fully-funded post graduate program anywhere else let alone Europe. It is not impossible, but it is difficult. Have you looked at Switzerland? |
