 Oluwafunmilayo Oni a brilliant Nigerian Lady has emerged as one of the 2% applicants to win the United Kingdom\u2019s Chevening Scholarship<\/a>, standing out over 51840 applicants that competed for the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oluwafunmilayo did not only win the UK Government Chevening Scholarship<\/a> Award, but she also won the Irish Government Scholarship<\/a> at the same time both with a second-class lower Bachelor\u2019s degree certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oluwafunmilayo took to her LinkedIn handle to celebrate her achievement noting that she once doubted her ability to win any scholarship due to her Bachelor\u2019s degree grade. \u201cFor years, I doubted my ability to bag any scholarship for my Master\u2019s degree because many scholarships granting organizations often stated clearly that they would rather a minimum of 2:1 (second-class upper),\u201d she wrote on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recalled that she once applied for a scholarship opportunity and was told that her leadership experience was superb and excellent but she did not meet the academic criteria because of her Bachelor\u2019s degree grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she did not relent on her applications and strive to make an impact in the world. After several attempts, she was awarded two scholarships on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, I was awarded the Chevening Scholarship and the Irish Aid scholarship on the same day. See God!\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explained that she will have to let one go as she cannot accept both scholarships for her Master\u2019s degree abroad. \u201cNow I have to choose 1. Both are fully funded with diverse opportunities and it pains me that I have to let one of them go,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She encouraged university graduates with a second-class lower degree not to be discouraged by their results but should stand firm to prove their intelligence to the world. \u201co, if you have a 2:2 like me, the journey might be slightly tougher but the world is your oyster! Apply!,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
