From Nigeria 🇳🇬 To Germany 🇩🇪

Hello LinkedIn!

It is a great pleasure to announce to you that I have been awarded the prestigious “DAAD Scholarship”; fully funded for a 2 year Msc study in Germany.

I have always wanted to further my studies in the area of Conservation, in a developed country such as Germany which is a role model nation when it comes to Biodiversity Conservation. For some reason or the other, I kept procrastinating. Maybe because I wasn’t ready for the many ‘rejections’🤣. Of course, we know how very competitive the DAAD German Academic Exchange Service scholarships are.

Some months ago, my very good friend; Anabel Emebo encouraged me to start my scholarship application journey and stop procrastinating…(It’s good to be in a circle of people that encourage you to be a better version of yourself). I immediately started searching and found the right course for me. I applied for it, and the rest, they say is history!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to announce to you that this was my first and only scholarship application. Yes, you read it right! I got the scholarship at first attempt. I hope this inspires someone out there. Take the bull by it’s horn, you never can tell, you might have probably been the one delaying your destiny.

Have you been planning to apply for scholarships? The time is now! Don’t wait till you have all the publications in the world (I didn’t have any publication when I applied for mine). Just package your CV very well (List your strong qualities, add all your volunteer activities, networks and societies you belong to, leadership positions you’ve held in the past or present, etc). Have good supporting documents (Your motivation letters and Recommendation letters are very crucial parts of your application) and Most importantly hand over everything to GOD!!!

It might interest you to know that the DAAD EPOS application for 2023/2024 intake is currently going on. I’ll leave the link in the comment section.

For those of you who might have had several rejections and are thinking of quitting, just keep pushing, the good news you’ve been waiting for is at the corner. Please never give up in your pursuit for excellence.

And finally to everyone reading this; “YOUR DREAMS ARE VALID”. We keep pushing till we all win!!! I am excited to begin this new phase of my life.

Congratulations to him.
