There are numerous scholarships available for Nigerian students to study abroad. Nine out of ten Nigerian students are looking for possibilities to study abroad right this interest in international education is influenced by a variety of variables. These include an increase in banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping, ongoing university strikes, and a high proportion of youth unemployment, Police violence and persistently low tertiary education investment in comparison to international norms. Additionally, the possibility of post-study employment or even permanent residency makes studying abroad more appealing for Nigerian students.

Improved career chances and a perception that Nigerian employers favor foreign degrees are two other key factors contributing to young Nigerians’ interest in studying abroad.
Nigeria has a thriving middle and elite class that values quality education, has international exposure, particular educational preferences, a higher disposable income, and general affluence, despite the fact that the country’s economy has barely expanded in the past seven years since President Muhammadu Buhari took office.
Nigerians prefer to leave the country in pursuit of “greener pastures” as a result of the economy’s slow growth and the absence of international education in the country.
Nigerians seeking overseas education place a high priority on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with many enrolling in engineering, mathematics, health professions, and other courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
This high interest in study abroad together with the high poverty rate has made the race for scholarships and grants a really tight one. Although there are lots of Scholarships available to Nigerians, it has become really difficult to get one.
