The process to study overseas can seem rather overwhelming and longwinded. There are a lot of things you need to organise in order to study far away from home. Sitting in your classroom without having done any research can make it seem so far away. This can be very daunting for those who don't know where to start.
Therefore, below we suggest 4 things you can accomplish TODAY to bring you a bit closer to studying overseas:
1. Talk to teachers
It's likely that your teachers have had previous students go overseas to study. They may be able to share with you what those students did to accomplish their study abroad dreams. Perhaps there was a specific scholarship they were awarded which you can apply for? Or a university abroad which focuses on attracting students from Nigeria? If your teachers aren't sure, they can refer you to someone else in your school, who can give you more information.
2. Start applying for a passport
You MUST have a valid passport in order to gain the correct immigration status to enter another country. Countries like the UK and the US take immigration very seriously. Applying for a passport can take time though. You may need to take an interview or obtain further documents which aren't easily available to you. So start the process now so you don't run into delays later.
3. Decide what you're good at
Find out for yourself what you're strong at and what skills you have, and then see what careers would be a good fit for you. You can ask teachers for their advice, or you can take free online tests which match you to a career or field, depending on your answers. You may be surprised by the results and learn about a whole new career direction you never even considered before.
4. Research scholarships
Every year, thousands of scholarships are available for international students, including those from Nigeria. This is because universities want an international student community, and many offer their own. However, some scholarships go to waste because students simply don't apply for them. But why? Many assume that there are so many students applying for them, that they don't have a chance of being awarded it; so they don't even try. This is a terrible attitude to have. Start searching online and see what comes up. Plus, with every scholarship application you complete, you improve your writing and approach.
