In her post, the lady identified as Abigail Ndah said she was accepted into the North Carolina State University to study for free.
She will be pursuing a PhD in plant pathology. She said:
"This might be a little late… but! I’m happy to announce that I began my PhD in Plant Pathology and also as a Genetics and Genomics Scholar this Fall at North Carolina State University. It’s been such a journey getting here."
One remarkable thing about the success is that Abigail did not go through masters before applying for her PhD.
She said:
"It’s a fully funded PhD. A direct PhD with a Bachelor’s degree. I don’t have first class, it’s just 4.27 CGPA. No WES evaluation, no TOEFL or IELTS because my school considers Nigeria as an English-speaking country. I have two research publications and research experience."
