I made a thank you video for everyone who bought the ebook and I nearly cried recording it 😭
Because when I wrote it I wasn’t thinking about money. I was thinking about the student with 12 tabs open at midnight still feeling lost. I’ve been close enough to that feeling to know it’s real.
I’m a PhD holder. I’ve been an External Examiner. I’ve read hundreds of scholarship applications, the ones that got funded AND the ones that didn’t.
The difference? Usually information. Not intelligence.
So I put everything I know into one ebook for African and international students trying to get into UK universities. Chevening. Commonwealth. Gates Cambridge. Rhodes. 20 scholarships covered.

I got testimonials saying “I finally feel like this is possible.”

THAT is why I do this.

Nobody told me this when I was applying. You’ve already passed English in secondary school, in WAEC, in NECO. So why are you paying $200 to prove it again? 🤦🏾‍♀️

I put together a full list of UK and Canadian universities and colleges that accept your WAEC/NECO result as proof of English proficiency. No IELTS. No TOEFL. No extra fees.
We’re talking Russell Group universities. Post-92s. Canadian colleges with PR pathways. Real schools. Real policies. And I’ve broken down exactly how to apply.

👇 Comment “WAIVER” and I’ll send you the full list + how to apply guide directly. It’s free. No catch.

Save this post so you don’t lose it. And tag that friend who’s been delaying their application because of IELTS. 🎓

Several years ago, I paid for my own Masters without any scholarships. Today, the fully funded PhD scholarship I got pays me multiple times what my MSc cost me.

When I started, I had no scholarship. I sold things. I budgeted. I prayed through every fee deadline.

Somewhere while doing my MSc, the truth hit me. The opportunities I was scrambling to fund for my Masters were sitting wide open. Fully funded tuition. Living stipends. Research budgets. Paid conference travel. All of it.

So while I was still writing my Masters project, I started studying the system and what exactly examiners like me right now, expect from students. The applications. The personal statements. The supervisor cold emails. The deadlines nobody talks about back home.

Then the email came. Fully funded PhD scholarship. United Kingdom.

Today, I earn multiple times what my Masters cost me. Every single year.

But this is not just my story. The same blueprint has helped candidates in African countries and beyond win admissions WITH scholarships.

I put everything I learned into one guide. The applications. The templates. The deadlines. The supervisor emails that actually get replies. The scholarships breakdown. The quiet mistakes that get international students rejected.

If you are tired of saving school fees while somebody else’s school fees are being paid for them, or you don’t know how and where to start, this is for you.

SAVE this post so you can come back to it.

You have an opportunity to get a £50,000 scholarship for the 2027 Entry. You can’t afford to sleep on this one…

I have been there myself, that place where you’ve applied severally and are not getting results. You’ve bought several guides, watched several tutorials and tips, payed consultants, but no result.

I got a fully funded PhD scholarship by understanding the educational system in the different schools I applied to and what exactly EACH school’s examiner expects. Now, as a PhD supervisor and Examiner who is now in that position of deciding who stays and goes, I know perfectly well what we look out for and don’t want to see in your school or scholarship applications.

I have seen talented students across various countries loose opportunities of thousands of pounds because, they may know but do not understand all these.

So, I have decided to put together a complete 30-page E- GUIDE with TRACKER, for anyone who wants a fully funded scholarship in UK or other Schools, for the 2027 Entry.

✅ 20 scholarships including Chevening, Commonwealth, Gates Cambridge and Rhodes and a step by step process of how to apply to each.
✅ Exact strategies for BSc, MSc and PhD level applications

I have a BONUS for you on this one👇🏾

Firstly, for those who don't know, CAS will calculate automatically and tell you if you're able to bring your dependent or family.

-Once your CAS is issued, you take it to home office or UKVI embassy in your country for Visa application.
-Your proof of fund should be submitted alongside CAS letter
-Even after printing evidence of CAS letter and submitting to university, do not touch your proof of fund
-Make sure you're on or above the required amount for your proof of fund until you get your visa
-UKVI requires the proof of fund is 28 days recent, the more recent your proof of fund is, the better for you.

I have spent years on the inside of UK academia, supervising PhD students, examining at other universities, and reading scholarship applications. And I kept seeing the same thing, brilliant students from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, India, missing out on fully funded places. Not because they were not good enough. Because nobody had shown them the system. So I wrote the guide I wish they had had from the beginning.

Comment "SCHOLARSHIP", and I'll send it right to your DM.

Share this with anyone you know who is looking for scholarships abroad, you'd be helping someone out there.

3 PROOF OF FUND MISTAKES YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE (especially May/June Intakes)
Schools are currently admitting for May/ June intake but if you make these mistakes with your Proof of Funds, its very costly (£1,023.)!
-No prior activity to the time of submission
-No Prior transactions in account
-Not paying differences of exchange rate as part of tuition fee before submitting Proof of Funds to UKVI

The last tip is the major reason why people get their Proof of funds and Visa refused.
