Scholarships drive the dream of many international students wishing to study abroad, particularly in luxurious and wealthy English-speaking countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada, Newzealand and Ireland. The globally-recognized education provided by these countries is arduous to beat as they have set a solid academic foundation. This standardised and systematised education has proved to be highly beneficial to both its citizens and international students. So to acquire and experience this high-quality education has seemed challenging and distant for international students. Eventually, they have been put in a situation of investing more than a handful of money. For some students, it costs their fortune; for others, it seem manageable and affordable. But in both situations, students are burdened with heavy financial expenditures that have led them to take loans, mortgage their properties, etc. As time passed, Scholarships came as a blessing in disguise for International students, which paved and still paved the way to undertake and experience a hassle-free overseas education journey.

Totally, scholarships worth $24 Million are awarded to Nigerian students alone by the first-world countries each year.
