Nigeria Scholarship: MTN NIGERIA LUNCHES SPORTS/STUDY SCHOLARSHIP

2011-09-28T00:11:00.001-07:00

MTN, which launched the initiative at White House Ikeja, wants youths to seize the opportunity. Its External Communication Manager, Mr Andrew Okeleke, said the initiative will help in discovering intelligent youths who can combine football and education at the tertiary level on scholarship.

Okeleke said the aim of the initiative is to help youths realise their dream of furthering their studies via scholarships while also playing professional football in universities in the United States of America.

He said MTN is already partnering with some universities in the US – with some of the institutions planning to send scout coaches to Nigeria to identify such talents.

To participate, potential contestants aged between 16 and 20 only need to send an SMS, stating their name age and location to 4000

Kelvin Orifa, MTN Youth Segment Manager, said the idea was to rekindle the hopes of many indigent youths, who thirst for a sound education and a worthy football career.
He said: “The project is for that young man who lives in Warri who plays football but does not also have access to get into the university because his parents don’t have the means. The programme is here to balance the Millennium Development Goals towards education and also foster the skills in our youths for football.

This scholarship exists, but a lot of people are not aware of that, and so with the MTN programme, you can access international scholarships.

You will agree with me that the best of talents in terms of soccer do not usually have education background. But with education, you can manage your business and life after a fulfilling football career.

Fola Fowose, Harvard Business School undergraduate and project consultant, said the intending talents will go through various stages before 30 of them are shortlisted for the scholarships. He said the auditions will kick off in eight cities with a knock out series leading to quarter finals stages.

Participants who, survive up to the knock out stages, will the write a mock exam while successful ones among them proceed to the academy where they will get intensive academic training for a month.

Ex-football International, Segun Odegbami, a role model for the initiative, lauded the programme and said it would boost sport.

“We are also using sports as in business to sustain sports economy; and its contributions to the country. Sports economy is very bad in this country, and our youths should be informed about the opportunities that exist within sports so that they won’t all be engineers, doctors, lawyers,” he said.

Chief Executive Officer, PPM outfit, Ghandi Olaoye, said as a pilot project the initiative would take off in the Southwest with focus on males. He, however, assured females of participation in subsequent editions.

Joe Erico, ex-Nigerian Coach, who represented the coaching crew, pledged that the coaches will live up to expectations in choosing those that will make Nigeria proud.

Prepare For The Move To E-Learning

2011-02-25T16:25:00.000-08:00

During tough times, a learning organization may need to make a move into e learning - the cost is lower, the maintenance is less expensive, and the personnel requirement is lower, as well. If your organization is about to make this migration, consider vital elements in three areas before you move forward: preparedness, pre-migration, and migration.

Winning Essay Tips: The $500 Mistake

2010-02-05T02:32:00.000-08:00

It’s official: The deadline for the Bank of America Student Voices Essay Contest was June 22nd and our judges are in deep, editing the more than 4,000 essays we received.
There are some great entries, but we also noticed some frequent mistakes students make that can instantly disqualify you from an essay contest.

Here, an example of what NOT to do in an essay — and some tips on making yourself a better candidate for scholarship cash.
Here’s one of the essays we received for The Bank of America Student Voices Essay Contest:
“To be able to hold onto your money you have to know how to manage it. Money management is a complicated process. As teenagers we often have no idea how to manage money and we end up wasting a lot of it. But in a bad economy most of us have had a crash course in what happens when you don’t manage your money properly. We have had to delve into a world foreign and unfamiliar to us and solve our own money problems. The most successful of us have managed to still have some semblance of a social life without going over our small budgets. The keys to doing this successfully are actually quite simple.
set up your own budget of expenses. Teenagers may not have to worry about paying a mortgage or rent but we do have to be able to pay for gas, insurance for our vehicles, and the never ending list of project expenses and supplies for classes. So you have to sit down and balance what you spend in a month with what you actually make, and whether that’s the money you get for your birthday that you manage to stretch with help from mom’s pocketbook or it’s the minimum wage that you get from the local fast food joint where you have managed to find employment the money comes from somewhere and it needs to be written down.

review your expenses daily. This includes balancing your checkbook and reviewing your online statements, as well as calculating any emergency expenses that you were not considering. This needs to be fluid as sometimes things come up that you just couldn’t have forseen.
You have to get creative. You are not always going to have the time to sit there with a calculator crunching numbers so create small ways to keep thing balanced without having to. Send yourself easy phone reminders about a few of your expenses. Always bring your school id with you because a lot of places will give students discounted rates. And finally, just remember where your money is going it will help.”
So, what was wrong and what was right?

One thing the essay writer did correctly was to stay within the word count for the contest. The Bank of America Student Voices Essay Contest stated that essays should range from 250-350 words and this essay comes in at 349 words. Good job! Another positive is that the writer stayed on topic and answered the question that was presented.
However, even though the writer did stay on topic, the response took a meandering approach and didn’t take a strong or memorable stance. In short, the “meat” of the essay wasn’t there. Think of it this way: sum up in one sentence what you want the reviewer to know and remember after reading your essay. Did you get that across in a clear and concise way?
Each essay should get across at least one breakout idea (aka the thesis statement) and the rest of the essay should focus on selling that point. If it’s a new, creative or off-beat idea, focus on selling and explaining that. If it’s a common idea, focus on trying to say it better than anyone else.
Here are a few more examples of what the essay writer did wrong:

Misspellings – Misspellings are the fastest way to ensure an essay is disqualified. When combing through a stack of essays, a judge will first rule out the essays with simple misspellings. Long story short: run a spell check and have someone else you trust look over it. It’s always best to get a second set of eyes.
Incomplete sentences — Remember, each sentence should have a subject (someone or something) and a verb (action). Wondering if your sentence is complete? Here’s a hint: A complete sentence tells a complete thought.
No capitalization – it’s bad enough not to capitalize words at the beginning of a sentence, but at the beginning of a paragraph it stands out even more! Yikes!
Missing punctuation — In this example, the writer does not have proper command over the use of commas — namely they are missing in places they should have been added and added places they are not required.
Poor grammar and sentences that don’t make sense— The essay writer uses poor word choices, improper grammar and mistakes such as having too many spaces between words. Another example of poor grammar is the confusion of grammatical persons — in the beginning of the essay the writer uses the first person plural (we) and toward the end, the writer uses the second person (you).
Run-on sentences— In this essay, one sentence has 72 words. As a rule, try to keep sentences no longer than 35 words each.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you write an essay. Remember, you don’t want to give the judges any reason to disqualify your essay right off the bat.
And, stay tuned for the announcement of The Bank of America Student Voices Essay Contest winner to be announced on FastWeb on Monday June 29th! The final winning essay will be judged by FastWeb’s own Financial Aid Guru, Mark Kantrowitz.

You can also search for distance learning and online education options as well masters degrees, phd/doctoral programs , and other degree courses, universities, etc

Study options in Sweden

Read up on the things you need to consider before choosing the education that is right for you. What degree would you like to pursue? Would you prefer classes in English or Swedish?

Trying to understand Sweden's higher education system can seem daunting at first. Our primer should help — it contains some basic information about studying at Swedish universities that foreign students don't automatically know.

As a foreign student, different options are open to you depending on the degree level you would like to study at: undergraduate (as an exchange student or free mover); as a master’s candidate, or at the doctoral level. Application procedures are explained for each level.
Another decision is what language you would like to study in. Most likely you will study one of the 600 English-language degree programs, but if your Swedish is fluent, Swedish courses are open to you as well, giving you even greater choice.
You will need to choose a school that teaches your area of interest. Make sure your academic credentials are recognized and start applying.
Other options
You may just have finished with your studies, in which case you may be looking for a traineeship position. Or else you may be in a position to buy contract training (commissioned education) for your company or organization.
Finally, instead of pursuing an academic degree, you may be interested in advanced vocational education (AVE), which focuses more on workplace learning. There is one such program in English: Globalverkstan.

How To Obtain A Scholarship From The Bill Gates Organization

2009-11-09T02:02:00.000-08:00

In the world where every person forgets the path they came across, we will look at someone who has contributed for the underprivileged and lowly. He is one of the well-off person in the world, CEO of a big company, where millions of people are working around the world. He is Bill Gates. He has made a mark in the world with his intelligence in the technology, but we will look into the tender side of Bill Gates who is contributing a part of his salary for the underprivileged individuals who does not have enough facilities for their tutoring.

As per the understanding Bill gates had on the neediness that is spreading on various ethnic groups, he has decided to assist the youthful generation of these groups to fight neediness. According to him, education is the only key to remove poverty and differences among different groups. To support students from different ethnic groups to initiate and keep on tutoring, he has formed a establishment called Bill and Melinda Gates establishment. The vision of this generous trust was to offer scholarships for students from little income families to go on lessons. For that they have formed a file of special scholarship schemes based on several courses.

Other than giving scholarships to underprivileged students, the program of the institution includes giving big contribution to black colleges and those offices who provides scholarships to alternative students.

Gates Millennium Scholars plan is the main attraction for students. It is given to students who are superb in their studious topic but are from low income families. The founding does not insists a lot of document filling method to provide these scholarships.

Need is the main eligibility criteria for the scholarship. If a student scored low but has the power to make high-quality result, he/she becomes adequate for the scholarship. The current score will not turn into a barrier for giving the scholarship.

The main plan of the institution is to create the field of science and technology to attain all areas of the people. The information and knowledge should not be denied to anybody. Consequently the scholarship does not have the barrier of nationality. It is given to all who have a permanent residence license to US.

The student scholarship is not meant to completely relieve the students and their families from paying education sum. The intend of providing scholarship is to support the families to reduce the problem of paying lessons sum of their students. The founding provides an average of $15000/ year to a graduate student. An undergraduate student will get an average of $7000/year only.

The students can get an on campus job or attempt to get some other scholarship in addition to the scholarship provided by Gate institution. This will relieve them from the weight of student loan and can peacefully finalize the classes.

Scholarships For Average Students - How To Qualify For Scholarship Rewards For Average Students

2009-11-09T01:58:00.000-08:00

The first thing that often pops into people's minds when they hear the word "scholar" is someone who has never had a grade below B- in high school, probably a teacher's pet, and someone who could solve a mathematical equation in less than a minute. People often think of geniuses and basically, those who have excelled greatly either in academics or sports. Does this also mean that those who were never in the honor's list have less of a chance to attend college compared to their academically-active counterparts?
The answer is, no. In fact, average students have the same equal chances with straight A students to enter a good college and eventually graduate with a degree. Scholarships for average students are everywhere and even the Military is offering a couple of high-budget programs. You have to be very determined though if you wish to qualify for a program that will support your stay in college. You will be competing with thousands of other students who are hoping to be rewarded that certain scholarship grant; hence, if y0u wish to become favored by sponsors, you have to show your best in your application and interviews.
With a challenge that big, how do you ensure or heighten your chances of being selected?

1. Scholarships for average students are not like academic-based scholarships in terms of the requirements for qualification. Usually, the minimum grades for these types of scholarships are set lower than the usual, giving you more chances to qualify. In case you do not meet the average limit of grades, most scholarships have special methods that help you meet the requirements. First thing you should do then is to secure all of your grades from high school as well as other documents that are usually requested by the sponsoring organization. If they see you are more than ready to receive the scholarship, you set this impression on them that you are a fitting candidate.

2. Since there are many scholarships for average students available now on the internet and from federal offices, try to join each and every scholarship program you know of. Do a little research and run through their rewards. Even a $500 or $1, 000 scholarship grant can already help; hence, look around. You will find a lot from the internet as well as from local offices.

3. Some scholarships look at your willingness to study and help people. Most of these programs are provided by the local government, or if you live in a religious community, your church can also sponsor you. Ask your local government or church if they have any programs available for average students and if they do, do not hesitate to apply. Who knows, you could be considered for it and you might receive this once-in-a-lifetime award.

4. Last but not the least, make your application form stand out from the rest. Give your 200% when the application asks for only 100%. In short, do more than the usual, go the distance to make your scholarship application unique from the rest.

SCHOLARSHIP...What is it?

2009-01-22T01:23:00.000-08:00

A scholarship is an award of access to an institution, or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar, for the purpose of furthering their education. Scholarships are awarded based on a range of criteria which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award.

Types of Scholarships

Scholarships may be classified into the following primary groups.

* Merit: This is financial aid for which financial need is not used to determine the recipient. The recipient may be determined by students’ athletic, academic, artistic or other abilities. The actual monetary value of the scholarship may be negligible, the scholarship being meant to motivate the student and promote the study of the subject. However, this is not always the case and the largest scholarships are almost always merit-based.

* Need: This is financial aid for which the student and family’s financial situation is a primary factor in determining the recipient. Usually such scholarship will cover all or part of the tuition and may even cover living costs. Very often even need-based private scholarships require the awardees to be distinguished students, as the deed founding the award may include a phrase like "for the studies of founder's favourite subject in founder's favourite institution of higher education for a talented youths of limited means from founder's home town/county/state, etc."

* Sociology: This is financial aid where applicants must initially qualify by race, religion, or national origin. After filtering the applicants based on their ethnicity, additional factors are taken into consideration to determine the final recipients.

* Institutional: These are scholarships awarded by a specific college or university (institution) to a student planning to attend that institution.

* General: These are other scholarships which are awarded for a variety of reasons that do not fall into one of the above categories. These may be for reasons of the student's association with the objectives of the sponsoring organization. For example, some corporations give scholarships to their employees' children or based upon academic success.

Some scholarships have a "bond" requirement. Recipients may be required to work for a particular employer for a specified period of time or to work in rural or remote areas; otherwise they may be required to repay the value of the support they received from the scholarship. This is particularly the case with teacher training scholarships and currently with health and medical education scholarships for people from or prepared to work in rural and remote areas in Australia. The programs offered by the uniformed services of the United States (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration commissioned corps, and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps) sometimes resemble such scholarships.

Obtaining Scholarships

It is typical for persons to find scholarships in their home region. Information on these can be found by asking local persons and organizations. Typically, these are less competitive as the eligible population is smaller.

* Guidance counselors: When starting to explore scholarship opportunities, high school students should definitely check in with their guidance counselors. They can be a great resource for local scholarships.

* Non-profit organizations: Most non-profit organizations have at some point of their history founded scholarships for prospective students:

* Community foundations: Many counties / cities / regions have a local foundation dedicated to giving money in the form of grants and scholarships to people and organizations in the area.

* Labor unions: All the major labor unions offer scholarships for members and their dependent children.

* Houses of worship: The local house of worship may or may not have any scholarships for their members, but the religious organization or headquarters may have some available. Of course, the best-supported area is the study of theology.

* Chamber of commerce: Many chambers of commerce offer (usually small) grants to students in the community, especially those planning on careers in business and public service. Even if they do not offer any themselves, you can usually get a listing of members, and many of them may offer small scholarships to local students.

* Other volunteer organizations: Many organizations offer scholarships or award grants to students whose background or chosen field overlaps the field of the organization. For example, local chapters of professional societies may help the studies of exceptionally distinguished students of the region. Similarly, charity organizations may offer help, especially if the late parent of the student was a member of the organization (e.g., a Masonic lodge might help the orphan of a lodge brother.) However, this kind of scholarship is mostly random.

* School: Old, well-known schools have often been endowed with scholarship funds.

* University: Old, well-established universities may have funds to finance the studies of extremely talented students of little means. To be eligible for them, the student must usually belong to some special category or be among the nation's best. However, universities have information available on scholarships and grants, possibly even internship opportunities.

* PSAT/NMSQT: In the United States, students are offered the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT test, usually in their junior year of high school. Not only does it help them to prepare for the SAT later on, but National Merit Scholarship programs are determined, in the first step, by the scores received on the PSAT/NMSQT test. Some private scholarship programs require the applicants to take the PSAT.

Other sources of information on scholarships are libraries, newspapers, the yellow pages, and Internet search engines.

University Free Grant Money Scholarship

2009-01-19T04:35:00.000-08:00

"Education is expensive, if you want something cheaper, try ignorance," this is one of the cliches that has been well worn and  said over a million times. But this cliche is a reality that painfully bites.

Nowadays, only a few numbers of students have parents who can really afford their education in college without placing excessive burden on their shoulders. The common scenario for youths today is working while studying at the same time, especially in college, working students as what they are termed.

Most often the academic performances of these working students' suffer if they will not be able to manage their time wisely. But are we going to allow education to be exclusive only for the

wealthy? The answer is, definitely not.

That is why education grants benefits and opportunities exist. The purpose of this is to help the students to sustain their college education by generating educational funds though minimal.

Grants unlike scholarships are based on the students' specific need, if not a combination of needs and merits.

However, before you get this privilege, you have to be assured that you are eligible for the opportunity. Basically, the process of grants benefited both the students and the institutions that are using that grant money to develop the curriculum, employ new faculties, and construct new facilities.

The difference of grants to the scholarships and students' loans is that it is given to the benefactor without any expectation of repaying it. Grant is a monetary gift. Scholarship on the other hand, is awarded according to the academic merit though it is also a monetary gift.

However, the students' loans really differ among the three privileges. Students' loan is the sum of money being borrowed by the student to finance his schooling with the agreement to repay it after some time with the corresponding interests.

The awarding of grants may come in general categories, or it may also be awarded to students who are pursuing a specialized degree program, like mathematics or business, or to various degree levels,

such as Bachelors, Associate, Doctoral or Masters.

Also, grants may come originally from different sources: college and university, public and private organization, and federal state.

Since grants are specially meant for the financially unprivileged, certain grants exist for the deprived, underrepresented minorities and students. There are also some cases wherein the grant money is exchanged for professional service after the graduation. This is common to those taking up health care professions. The main purpose of this is to keep trained professionals in medically undeserved regions.

Grants are particularly taken up by the adult students to return to college or to college programs that will direct them in reentering the place of work.

This is usual since college does not anymore require for the traditional age, specifically between 18 to 24 years of age. Americans nowadays are becoming more and more practical in considering several chances to receive a degree. And this modern perception has driven adult students to flock into colleges without

the fear of public scrutiny unlike before.

The world today is requiring skillful and sharp new set of labor force for them to be able to join the flow of the competitive market. And for the applicants to be credible for these characteristics they must present a college diploma.

Hence, having a college degree is really vital.

Have a great day

Scholarship applicants must meet the following specific criteria:
1. Junior level standing and a minimum one-year of study at OU by the time of participation.
2. Minimum GPA of 3.0 for undergraduates, 3.3 for graduates.
3. Eligible program destinations are limited to Africa for OU students, and limited to OU for students from African universities.

Recipients will be selected through review of this application and the personal essay. Applicants will be notified of results prior to the end of the spring semester.

Upon program completion, recipients will be interviewed so that their experiences can be shared with other OU students. Program alumni will be invited to assist in various International Programs Center’s activities and program promotion.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If for some reason you are unable to complete the program, you will be required to return the full amount of your award to the International Programs Center.
