Lady who got US study scholarship loses it
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady who secured a scholarship to study in an American university had lost the offer after failing to resume school.
The lady said she sent in applications to various universities in the US, and many of them offered her a place in their postgraduate program.
Apart from getting admissions into nine US universities, the lady said she also got funding in various forms. This meant that if she decided to resume her studies in America, she would not pay due to the scholarships. However, she said she later made up her mind that she was not interested in resuming studies anymore.
