Nigerian lady misses 20 admission offers abroad

Eunice took to TikTok to recount her heartbreaking journey after securing numerous admission offers and partial scholarships. She revealed that she received scholarships covering up to 25%, 50%, and even 75% of her tuition.

However, her parents, who are civil servants, could not afford to pay the remaining balance or cover the initial deposit fees. Eunice faced immense discouragement from associates who advised her parents against letting her travel.

Eunice, via her TikTok handle @eunice.novawriteslimited, said:

"Someone even had to tell me, 'Do you want to go and be a prost!tute over there? Your parents do not have money. Are they Dangote? What is their work?'"

The harsh words and her shattered plans left her stressed, sad, and deeply confused. She realised that for middle-class and low-income families, even the popular "work-and-study" route is financially challenging due to initial deposit requirements.

In her words:

"At that time, I did not have the knowledge of these fully funded opportunities. But now that I have the knowledge, no, you must travel."
