Hello Champs! I'd like to know if

1) It's true that schools don't give finicial aid to graduate students who choose the non thesis option.

2) Financial aids are only/mostly awarded in fall

Someone responded "yes" to this. No offense meant, but please I need a second opinion

1. It is possible to get Finaid ., However there are way more opportunities for Thesis options. So you have to research well on programs that will give GA to non Thesis

2. Yes initially ,as most budget and allocation starts in falls so usually the spaces are given in fall that by spring time , it the left over which means its harder to find in spring . So it is possible to find in spring as well but much harder as its fewer

Good morning all
Life is good here in woji port-harcourt
please I need clarity of the issue of WES. The schools I want to apply to, are silence on it and even majority of the schools-offering master in chemical engineering,
didn't mention it. they prefer submitting unofficial transcript online and if admitted, the sealed-hard copy will be requested.
My GPA is 4.1/5 chemical engineering.
considering this,should I still go ahead and do the evaluation?
please kindly help

Issa Elijiji something

OGA BIKO ....someone paying the SEVIS fee for you abraod..which form of payment will the person use?

femi312:
All you need to do is make sevis payment in the next link after receiving your i20 (https://www.fmjfee.com), note that the SEVIS cant be paid in Nigeria, someone abroad has to make the payment for you after you have filled the sevis coupon in that link, then fill the Ds 160 form ( https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/) and lastly schedule for visa interview here https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Nigeria

western union nko...tot is an acceptable means of payment

oduzbaba2015:
good morning, what is the best airport to land bfr connecting to Ohio, or how can Ohio be connected directly from Lagos and what's the cheapest airline,

Hey check out Royal Air Maroc. Lagos to IAD (Washington Dulles Intl Airport) flights are as cheap as $723. You can first land in Ohio then take a connecting flight.

No, don't evaluate with WES since the schools you have in mind don't require it. Send your transcripts straight to the schools as they require.

Western union money order or western union quick pay (instant payment). The person abroad has to have the generated form i901 to be able to pay for you.

Florida International University? Be it known that that school is terribly expensive. I know someone who transferred out after 1 semester. If you don't have about $10k every semester to spend I strongly advise you to apply to a cheaper school.

When you are looking for a good deal or free money you gat to spread your risk.... Find that application fee and apply to at least 3 or more schools especially if it not fall session . Although even if its fall session one school application-I-don't -like
If you did then that good

Best of Luck

[quote author=Olufemiopa post=61492357]Hello House,

Please, I need urgent assistance. I am completing form DS-160 for F1 visa interview, which departure date are my supposed to pick, is it the end date stated on my form 1-20 or what?

Thanks.[/quo

Check your i-20 you will see earliest admission date, its usually a month before your program start date. You can put any date between these two. E.g 10days before your program start date is fine.
