For Interested and Motivated Applicants. Post picked up from Victor Ogunmola's (A Geoscientist at Exxon Mobil, USA) Linkedin page through his I-scholars initiative Are you a Nigerian Graduate? How self-driven are you? Do you desire to pursue a graduate study abroad especially in the USA? Are you prepared to write the required exams? Have you got the aptitude but limited by the requisite resource? If your answers are yes to all these questions, then read on. This year, i-Scholar Initiative (ISI) plans to sponsor as many possible well qualified candidates for one or a combination of two of the three required tests for foreign grad school programs; Graduate Records Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). In Scope Each selected candidate will be sponsored for a GRE or GMAT depending on their choice of grad programs. To be sponsored for a TOEFL, the following conditions apply: GRE candidates- a minimum of 300 cumulative scores in GRE will automatically qualify a candidate for TOEFL sponsorship. GMAT Candidates: a minimum of 720 cumulative scores in GMAT will automatically qualify a candidate for TOEFL sponsorship. If you qualify for a TOEFL, you must be prepared and ready to write the exam latest 6 weeks after your GRE or GMAT exam. Requirements Provide a 1-2 page statement of purpose demonstrating your self drive and clarity of your academic pursuit and career goals. A graduate from a Nigerian accredited university with a minimum of Bachelor Degree; Second Class Upper Division or Higher. Provide a clear plan on your preparation and strategy for writing and passing the exam(s) with excellent results if selected. Your draft plan must also include the specific time you wish to write the exams and begin to apply for foreign grad programs. A letter of recommendation from a University Professor/Don who has a direct knowledge of your aptitude, academic records and leadership/volunteer involvements. In addition to all the documentary evidences of the above identified requirements, also attach the most recent resume and academic records including copies of your FIRST DEGREE transcripts. Successful candidates should be prepared and ready to write the exam(s) latest by August 2020. How to Apply Send application through an email to : ischolarinitiative19@gmail.com Make GRE or GMAT the Subject of your Email based on the exam sponsorship you are applying for. You should and must assemble ALL your required documents and send everything together as an attachment(s) in a SINGLE email. In other words, your application would be assessed based on the contents of your first email. Where possible, send all attachments in .pdf format. The Process/What to Expect Application remains opened until March 31st midnight CST. Received applications will be assessed and reviewed in April- A representative of ISI may contact candidates to conduct interviews if/where/when necessary. Successful candidates will be announced in May ISI will connect every successful scholar with seasoned mentors to help navigate admission processes. In June, ISI will engage with and do the exam(s) registration on behalf of the successful candidates directly with the Educational Testing Services (ETS). All scholars are required to keep their mentors in the loop of progress including but not limited to important milestones such as exam scores, admission applications/funding offers etc. Each successful scholar would be required to accept and sign a perjury oath/agreement accepting a liability if discovered that he/she has misrepresented any material facts during or after the selection process. What is not Promised/Out of Scope We are unable to provide full Scholarships to study abroad- but your good performance in GRE or GMAT and TOEFL could potentially get you fully funded grad programs with the university of your choice. We would work with you in navigating the admission process. GRE/GMAT/TOEFL- each of the exams provides an opportunity to freely and directly send your exams scores to a certain number of schools you indicate during registration. However, you would have to personally pay the application fees for any additional schools you might want to apply to after this. Best Practices It is important to read very carefully and follow all the instructions highlighted above. You don't need to personally know any of the ISI representatives for a success or otherwise of your application. Use only the email provided as the standard communication medium for all enquiries. Allow the process to run its natural course- no undue personal inbox messages would be entertained. If you must ask a necessary question on this thread, allow at least 24 hours for a response. And please first endeavor to check through previous responses- your question might have been answered already. You need no special permission to share this announcement with your networks. ISI Representatives- 03/01/2020 Source: Victor Ogunmola's Linkedin and Facebook page. Go for it and offset your GRE and TOEFL costs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Milkshakes01:Many schools now don't demand Wes evaluation, they carry out evaluation their selves. They just require you to upload your transcript in the application and will only demand official trancript sent to them when you have been admitted 1 Like |

I am having a little problem with one of my recommenders. A request email for recommendation has been dispatched to his mailbox since 31st of January but up till now he has refused to respond to the email. I have had to remind him on 3 different occasions but still he would not keep his promises and it is becoming glaring that he is not interested in doing the needful. My question now is if there is a way to change a recommender after an application has been submitted? |

Sammiel: Once your application is submitted, you may not be able to make changes. However, you may email the Graduate Admission office of your prospective school... Good luck! |

BiggyB242: R1 and R2 mean tier 1 and tier 2 research schools respectively. About your second question, this should be directed to your Grad Coord to build a relationship with him or her. GRE and TOEFL plays a key role but might not be sufficient enough to tell who gets a T.A and R.A.. Cheers 2 Likes 1 Share |

trippletees:We have two test centres in Lagos if I am not mistaken. One at JKK Ilupeju and another Dragnet on the island. This 110k from Bymafit might include tutorial fees, try clearifying that. Godspeed! |

Up till now, Affordable test has not resolved the outstanding balance on my ETS account. He has been giving excuses and now; no more response from him. I am getting frustrated because schools cannot access my GRE score report. So terrible! |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 1:56am On Mar 09, 2020 |
Pls, when is the best time in the year to write the Gre? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Tella26: 4:39am On Mar 09, 2020 |
The best time is the time you are sure you really want to have the exam and you dont have any distraction. Apart from that, many people think between April to July is the best because you will be able to send in your application on time as soon as possible for scholarship consideration and you will have enough time to retake the exam in case you are not satisfied with your score.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Atom4s(m): 6:24am On Mar 09, 2020 |
Princekenuk: Really? You mean you mailed the schools and they gave that reply? I feel the schools you filled on exam day should have your scores already because the affordable tests’ person registered a friend of mine for the same exam and the scores got to the schools he filled on exam day, though he can’t send to other schools due to the outstanding payment on the account. The ‘Affordable tests’ person really messed up. Sincerely, if you feel your scores are good enough, I will advice that you pay the debt. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by favouredtk: 10:59am On Mar 10, 2020 |
trippletees:You didn't miss it. You will be able to send scores on test day, immediately after the exam. |
