STUDENT PLACEMENT UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS WRITTEN BY MISS SADE The university application process has started for all students progressing to the UK, USA and Canada. Students are currently being guided through the process and we hope to submit the applications on or before the 15th of January, 2022. As part of the application process, students are required to write a personal statement or statement of purpose to complete their applications. Besides academic performance, the personal statement is another important aspect of the university’s admission criteria, it determines whether a student gets an admission offer or not hence, the English teachers and I proofread before submission. University representatives have met and are still meeting with our students to provide them with the necessary information needed in making their choice of universities. In addition, our various partner universities in the UK and US have scholarships and discounts off tuition fees for students who apply to them. The scholarships range from £1,000 to £5,000 yearly for the UK schools and $10,000 to $25,000 for those in the US. Please note that some of these scholarships are merit-based and not automatic.
