Woow bro..

Enlighten us.

The only scholarship I know to give all these is the Australian Government Scholarship to some Developing Countries. But there is a Bond attached to it yo return to your home country upon completion

odimbannamdi:


I personally dont think the bond is a bad one.

Am in Sydney but not schooling in Western Sydney University thou my sister is schooling there. What info do you need?

Postboiswag:




Please give us more info about this

age2richee:


The scholarship I got is called Australia Awards. Its the Australian government scholarship. They award Scholarships for Master's degree and short courses but I got the former. It opens every year around September and closes in December.
If you get this scholarship, you must leave Australia after studies for at least 2 years.
So, this scholarship is not for people who intend to relocate to Australia via student routes.
You can get more information at www.australiaawardsafrica.org

I'm open to more questions.
Cheers!

Please
which university in Australia accepts students with study gaps.3-5yrs to be precise.i need many suggestions.help a brother.

Gracy99:
Hello everyone, please what are possible ties I can use in my application?

Softkey:
I don't think your admission have anything to do with your study gap.
I have 6years study gap and still gained admission.
Just try to fill the study gap with work or activities you can defend with evidence.

Paschaldanielse:
Please which school did u attend in Australia?

mjlbabajide:


And of what use will the masters be to you when you are back in Nigeria? are going back to job search or already has things properly set up on return.

the major underlying reason for most Australian study, is to use it as a pathway to PR. depending on your plans, not all scholarships are good for you. i have a friend who came on scholarship, but now have to migrate after studies to Canada. because course wasnt on list.

please, we have overflogged it before, let us look at skilled list, before making these decisions. consider your age by the time you finish your study, will you be eligible for maximum points for age? will you be able to pass english test equivalent to ielts 8? or 7?

instead of being hasty and having to come here to do 1 year in one sch and jump to another, which will make pay 3years tuition instead of 2.

location of school? the govt is trying to push people to the region, and nomination is easier in regions especially when you study there. most regions i know have special packages for people who studied in their region.

please, yous should consider long term, a stitch in time saves nine.

there are so many people here who has to do 2 masters because they chose the wrong course, a record number are seeking asylum because they spent years wasting money on wrong course, and they are just tired of spending another 2years of their life working just to pay tuition. some the cases have seen ended up in the negative.

many are getting married quick quick as a result of not planning ahead, and have to do it just save thier visas.

many finished studies in mel, syd and they now have to pack their bags to the region to start to spend one full year to meet regional requirement before they can apply for permanent residency.

and so many has been sent back to Nigeria, not went back ooo, sent back.

ensure your agents in nigeria do what you want, it is a service you already paid for, those agents are not up to date with happenings or with current Immigration debates in parliament, do your research and demand the very best service, like i said you all paid for the service. i was the one that educated my agent on AL1 schools 2017, they never heard about it prior to when i sat them down educated them and told them to get an AL1 school admission.

you see, they are not smart as you may think.


australia is far, too far to come ill prepared or lacking of information. australia is busy, too busy 2years flies like 2months, you will wake up one day and be surprised you already completed your education, then what next.

not every good offer is good for you. paying 16000aud UTAS per semester is better than paying 12000 in western sydney Uni.

required points for PR is 65 points. you will most likely hit just 60 points with western sydney uni, but with the regional points that comes with studying in UTAS you are guaranteed your 65 or 70points. look at it now in the interim western sydney seems ideal cos its cheaper but longterm you will end up spending more, relocating to regional, and wasting more time trying to look for an extra 5points.

please people, do your research, dont think study alone, think long term.

if you are already in the wrong course, you are admitted already, or granted visa with the wrong course already. please change course immediately after 1st semester, preferably change school to a regional area. it will be harder in beginning, but trust me overtime you will find your footing.


School agents are free here, so do not be scared of approaching one and have them change your uni.

please na with abeg i beg una.

My advice goes mainly to most people coming with family, the single ones can still wiggle through some cracks, and also to the very strongly morally compassed single ones.

age2richee:




Guys, with a Master's degree FROM Australia, you can get a great job ANYWHERE in the world.
I know people who got this scholarship and are working in the US and Canada now. Don't be discouraged by anybody guys!

You can make it anywhere even in Nigeria.

There are jobs in Nigeria paying people $5k monthly. The fact that you don't have it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Cheers guys!

you apparently chose to coin your inverted interpretation to my response, any ways i will explain the logic behind what i wrote, i did not know it could be that elusive but i will break it down further.

if you applied a balanced view, you will see i touched on quite a few different scenarios, with a consistent underlying message; LONG TERM.

my question still remains if you come here for 2years Australian govt masters, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT WHEN SENT BACK HOME? it is a thought provoking question and not a discouraging one.

in other words, what is your long term goal. what you want out of life should determine the offer you accept, no matter how good they seem.

i mentioned my friend is doing permanent residency to relocate to Canada because of scholarship requirement, this friend of mine loves it here, but has to leave behind higher pay and lower taxes to move to canada. that is just 1 out of 7 people i know that are in the same boat.

i totally understand the need to give people hope, but i think it is better to encourage people to rather do a proper risk analysis, planning, preparation and execution. hope does not cut it. if not Nigeria would have been the best Nation in the world.

out of every 10people that has a Foreign education in Nigeria how many makes more than 300 thousand naira per month. ok let us up it to out every 100 people you know. Nigeria has changed, in the early 2000 all you needed in Nigeria was a foreign degree, and boom you land a good job. but now things are fierce, thousand of people trooping back into the country yearly with foreign masters, jostling for 100 positions.

Mate get it straight, people make it every where. even in Sudan, syria, iraq and Borno state, people are there making it big, but the question at what rate, what is the ratio. if you are fimiliar with survey or research, you will understand that they base their findings on spot ratio sampling analysis. so if i say all Nigerians are black, doesnt really mean they are all black it means the majority.


let us stop giving people hope based on the few. let us tell it as it is so people can face the mirror and reflect on what is really at stake. let us tell them to factor in the aftermath and the aftershock.

what are your options after your study abroad? if it is permanent residency, how to do you intend to achieve that? which region can i best get it done?

if i am coming to Nigeria, am i coming to be hoping for a job? or i have already secured the commitment of a few places? personally methink it better you come to Nigeria on your own terms.

if i want to go to US or Canada after my scholarship, what will the policy look like by then? what skill will be shortage in those places when i finish? because if you go and study what is not a skill shortage list nobody will give you job in another country. They all must show the govt that they cannot fill the jobs locally before giving it out.

in order not to engage in time wasting, or futile adventure, please plan, assess all risk factors and potentials.

but if you only want to journey in hope, kudos to your pastors or imams, they have done a good job
