The i-Scholar Initiative (iSI) is offering its 2025 scholarship to ambitious Nigerian graduates seeking to pursue graduate studies abroad, particularly in the USA. This scholarship aims to provide financial support for standardized tests and foster a supportive network of mentors and professionals to help scholars navigate the complexities of international education.
Benefits:
The scholarship covers the costs of standardized tests such as the GRE, GMAT, and TOEFL, essential for admission into foreign graduate programs. Selected scholars will also benefit from a predetermined number of graduate school application fees, comprehensive mentorship, and networking opportunities with professionals in various fields. While iSI does not offer full tuition scholarships, the program enhances the likelihood of securing fully funded graduate programs through outstanding test performances.
