However, I have decided to answer some of these questions here for the benefit of everyone.
Q: What is the difference between partial and full scholarship?
A: Partial scholarship only covers part of the tuition and living expense, whereas full scholarship takes care of all.
Q: How can I apply for a scholarship?
A: First, you have to get your application materials ready. Then, wherever you see an advert, follow the instructions and apply accordingly.
Q: What are application materials?
A: These are all your scholarship documents. They include, results, transcripts, toefl or Gmat or Gre, statement of purpose and application form.

Q: Where can I see scholarship adverts?
A: You can search for them with search engines or visit my blog regularly for advertised scholarships.
Q: Can I apply for undergraduate scholarship?
A: Yes, if you have your O'level. But they are usually scarce! Its easy to find postgraduate scholarships than undergrate.

A: O'level result, essay or statement of purpose, reference letters and application form.

STUDY IN RUSSIA
Russia has top flight universities that offer qualitative education. These universities offer courses ranging from medicine, engineering, sciences, humanities etc.
Today, I want to talk about education in russia and the cost associated with it.
First, lets take a look at the tuition fee.
Universities in russia charge very low tuition fees as $2000 per academic year. Though it varies depending on the course and university involved. Tuition fees for medicine, engineering, design and architecture are usually on the high side. Their fees usually range from $2500-$3500 per session. Note that you can also consider study in Bordeaux University in France.
ACCOMODATION.
Basically two types- hostel and off-campus. Cost of hostel accomodation range from $150-$200 per monthly. Off-campus accomodation are usually on the high side, between $250-$400 monthly.
FOOD.
Food is extremely cheap in russia! For as low as $100-$150, you can feed for a month.
But its largely dependent on the eating habbit of student.
LANGUAGE TRAINING.
This is compulsory for international students who don't speak russian or ukrainian language. Since courses are taught with these two languages, russian education authority demands that all students applying to study in russia undergo language training. This is usually carried out in the first year of admission and will cost the student approximately $1500.
Students who are succesfull will then be allowed to study.
So all things put together, to study in russia, one needs about $3500-$4000 annually for tuition, food, accomodation etc.
If you are interested in studying in russia, kindly visit RACUS website(www.edurussia.ru) or any of the branches around you.
RACUS is a body used by the russian government to help international students secure admission into russian universities and they charge $400 for their services.

LOCAL AND FOREIGN DEGREE-MERITS AND DE-MERITS
A lot of people might be wonder what am up to on this post. Well, the answer is simple, am here to spell out the advantages and disadvantages of having a local and a foreign degree.
Yes, as the names imply, a foreign degree is obtained abroad, while a local degree is issued in individual's home country.
However, there's a whole lot of difference between the two certificates and that's just what I will be talking about today.
Let me start with a local degree. As the name implies, a local degree is obtained in ones home country. The advantages of a local degree are that you can obtain it with little or no stress and the cost of obtaining it is not much compared with a foreign degree. The other advantage is that you can work with it in your home country. The major disadvantage of this type of degree is that the scope is limited to ones home country, i.e you may not be able to use it abroad as employers look at such certificates as cheap and below standard.
A foreign degree/certificate on the other hand has lots of advantages. A degree obtained abroad especially in developed countries like Germany, USA, England etc can be used to secure employment anywere in the world. Also, the holder of a foreign degree is respected and gets better pay anywere he choses to work. In other words, with a foreign degree, the sky is your stepping stone to greatness! The benefits cannot be overemphasised.
But you know, whatever has advantages has setbacks as well. Infact the only setback with a foreign degree is just the cost or financial involvement. To get a foreign degree, you need a strong financial base or a scholarship.
However, though the cost may be high, obtaining a foreign degree is a worthwhile venture that can change ones whole life. And with it, believe me, you can get to anywere you wish to, in the world!
Now the decision is yours, consider the pros and cons of both degrees and go for the very best.
Thanks for reading my post and watch out for more!!
