Hello! If you're watching this in 2023 please like this comment and drop a reply below on what challenges you're having with securing scholarships or what more videos you'd like me to share. Would be expecting to see your replies!
Hi
I'm inspired by hearing your experience.
Thanks for your good work. I have strong social Work background now working in administration, could you please advise or recommend a program that I have a high chance of funding. Thanks
@@kojoforeigner Hi Kojo, thanks for watching! Based on your experience there are several program options you could go for. It’s best to do the research online and find what aligns with your personal interest.
@@kojoforeigner A good way to start is by googling “master degree programs for students with social work background”
I like all the schools. Pls what do you think about William and mary business school. I checked linked in and I love the profiles and career advancement of all the students post mba out of all the schools. Or am I not checking well enough or maybe students in other schools like asu don't have much likedin presence ?

I'm so happy to hear your story, Fisayo! I got a full MBA scholarship from the University of Notre Dame ten years ago, and now I teach part-time at ASU! So coming to the US to get my MBA was a life-changing event and an excellent investment! ❤Love your content, and will keep watching your videos
It's a big coincidence that I just stumbled unto your comment. I intend studying at ASU as well and in contact with a staff. I came on UA-cam to find study materials for GRE and stumbled unto this video. Will appreciate any advice you have. Thank you.
@@zoeabalum3827 best of luck! Let me know if you have specific questions that the admission staff couldn’t answer:)
Hello Fisayo, thank you so much for your videos. I am interested in the MBA journey but I am clueless and feel overwhelmed already. Please what is the first step? Also , what round can I begin to target now?
Thank you for this video.
Thank you very much. You made life easier.
Happy to hear this!
Thank you, Fisayo.
You are graced and favored. Absolutely adore you❤
Thank you🥰
Hi, thank you so much for your video. I used your interview tips and it was really helpful. I need to really use your negotiation skills to get more funding❤
Glad it was helpful! Waiting to hear the good news soon
Fisayo, I watched your video without skipping. Thanks for this beautiful video
Great to know! Thank you so much!!
You are an awesome presenter.
Thank you! Do you know more groups of prospective students that would need this information? Please share it with them, thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Connecticut and not giving scholarship 🥺😭🤣. Loved watching this!
Haha, right! If they did, we would have been in the same city
Lol, it is the "dont ask me for money" for me. Very informative.
Please i jist singed up for your accountability group.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Sindy Akpolo introduced me to your channel. So glad to be watching
Aww. Thank you for watching!!
Thanks a lot Fisayo☺️.
Most welcome Ella!
Thank you for sharing this inspirational video💖💖💖.... I'm about to finish my first degree, how early can I start applying for scholarship opportunities?🙏🏽
Thanks again Fisayo for this. I'm ufuoma from Lagos, I'm so interested in studying abroad in the UK on full scholarship too.
I need help with my SOP.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the info. Please, is it all the schools you mentioned that require GMAT or GRE?
Hey fisayo,
Iam gald that I came across your video and hear your story I belong from a very impoverished family and unable to afford the fees of USA universities after coming across the fees of MBA I lost the hope of achieving my dream but your video has encouraged me thankyou so much I wish I could have a mentor like you ❤ can u plz guide me in the entire process to achieve my goals
Congratulations Fisayo, your videos comes with simplicity and fully loaded, my question is did you pay application fees for all these schools you applied to? Hope to read back from you soon
Thanks for asking Olamide. I answered that question extensively at point 9:30 of this video ua-cam.com/video/B38ySQRYuUs/v-deo.html Please check it out
Hi Fisayo, thank you for sharing your story, I was greatly inspired. Would love to connect.
Thank you for stopping by Uyi! Happy to be connected!
Thanks
This is beautiful. Could you please share the particular programme you did in the MBA in ASU?
Dear Fisayo, thank you so much for these videos , they’ve been so insightful. In one of your videos you mentioned having a 3 year work experience. Please, is this a compulsory requirement? I ask because I am just completing my BSC.
Hi Frances! Thanks for asking. I answered this question extensively in the new video I just posted. Please check it out. ua-cam.com/video/cQa9B75bLMo/v-deo.html
Was there something special about your SOP. Would love some content on how to write a great SOP
Hi Fisayo this was very helpful and informative, I would like to get your take on getting GMAT/GRE waivers and if it affects scholarships or not, also your videos I have watched so far doesn't give a lot of information about the strenght of GPA's. I will be glad if you could refer me to one you have probably recorded already if you do have. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, I gave my opinion about GRE/GMAT waivers in this video - ua-cam.com/video/4GbmfKK5ld8/v-deo.html please check it out
With respect to strength of GPA's, honestly I don't think its much of a big deal because i know people who had second class lower who got scholarships. I believe it depends on the overall strength of your application.
Very interesting informative… is it compulsory to submit an English exam?
Thank you fisayo for the information. Please, I want to go for MBA in ASU. How do I apply for the the course and scholarship at the same time?
Thank you very much for this video. Definitely more options to apply to 😎.
I wanted to ask if starting an MBA in a Nigerian university would affect the possibilities of getting an international admission? Is it advisable to start an MBA in Nigeria (knowing that you can quit it at any time) while you're processing your international MBA / Master's program?
You’re welcome!
It won’t affect the possibilities but why do you want to waste time and resources? I’d advise anyone in this position to focus on the international MBA application process instead.
@@FisayoGracieAbby Thank you.
Dear Madam, Thank you very much for the nice explanation video. May I know the competitive GRE score for the SMU Cox school at Texas..??
Thanx sis
Thanks a lot , pls do you have informations in schools that offer funding in Computer science
Hi, thanks for the information.
What was your program and courses
Congratulations dear I ever pray I could many options of scholarships like this and can I get funding in engineering Msc in the same schools you mentioned?
Hi... Nice one. Did you write Ielts, TOEFL, GMAT/GRE?
I wish I had seen this video before now. I'm in my 2nd semester, and I've paid a fortune already.
Hello Fisayo! Great content you have here. As someone who just want to begin her journey, is it too late to start applying now? Including taking the test to get admission in 2023? I hope you see this. Thank you 😊
No it isn’t! You’re good. Please watch my 2 most recent videos for more guidance and check the links in the description
Hey Fisayo, I would like to know who to contact in regards to funding and assistantship at Arizona state university
😂😂😂 I liked the way you mentioned that the money isn’t in your account.
Hi Fisayuo, Thank you so much for your amazing video. I really admire your journey to get full scholarships. I really want to have a MBA scholarship like you, but my concern is. I have only 2 years of experiences working in companies. And I was just a manager. I have not had any business myself. But still, I want to develop myself, I want to have better life. So In my situation, Is there any way I could get a scholarships? THank you again for your effort making these quality videos. Wish you the best!
Nice to hear from you! I’d do a video to address this soon. Please stay subscribed and hit the bell notification icon so you’d be informed when the video drops
Please share how come you choose between Ohio State and ASU
Hi, Grace, please did you write Gmath or GRE
Thanks for this tips. For MBA application, does holding an MSC offer any advantage?
Which do you recommend GRE or GMAT?
I didn’t do an MSc just BSc and I got in, so if you have an MSc you could definitely use it to your advantage but it’s not required
Deciding whether to take the GRE or GMAT is personal because it depends on where your strength lies. I shared more about this at point 4:23 in my previous video.
Many schools accept either of them.
Lovely, is it a must to write the GRE/GMAT before one can be offered an MBA scholarship?
Thanks for all the information. It’s been helpful but my question is with all the universities, can one get the scholarships and still do online courses
With online programs the chances of getting fully funding is slimmer, especially because the programs are not as expensive
How were you able to navigate this visa people because they turn down even those on scholarship
Did you apply all with application fee waivers?
Most schools ask for bank statement shows that you have money cover the tuition and living expansive, how did you manage that , still got scholarships?
Hello if you can advise how you got 100% fund from ASU since I couldn’t find for mba any info about 100% option of fund
Please how did you apply for your scholarship in ASU
Hi Fisayo,
Thanks for the informative videos..If one offers an MBA ,does it give one the opportunity to work in USA like the stem programs that offer opt to international students?
Hi Eunice. Yes it does. Please search my channel and watch my video on the value of an MBA
@@FisayoGracieAbby sure I will..thank you
Please can you explain the meaning of first round, or second round
Well done Fisayo, did you use GRE for all the schools? Also, can I write GRE now and get admitted in the first round? Lastly, did you have to apply for Study permit visa?
Thank you
Hiii.
Yes I did use GRE for all schools.
Yes you can write it now but first round is sept/Dec, so I believe you’re talking about for 2024 admission right? If your target is 2023, then you should be applying for round 2 or 3 because those are the only available options left for this year.
I applied for an F1 visa, that’s the study visa given to international students - shared more details about this in other videos on my channel. Please check them out
@@FisayoGracieAbby thank you for your prompt response, yes I saw the video on the F1 visa approval already. Alright I will apply for second/third round then. I love you already.
Tomi Abiodun brought me here😊. Hahaha @ this amount is not in my bank account. Getting a full ride is a huge financial relief I must say. I understand that juggling between schooling and content creation can be a lot, would be good to know how you are able to keep up with both and your social life geenerally.
Yes it definitely is a huge financial relief! Thank you for watching ❤️
I'm just seeing your question! What i try to do is plan ahead, I use a spreadsheet to outline my UA-cam content so I can create a schedule. For school work I ensure that I block time on my calendar for practically everything. I hope that helps, thanks for asking!
Good evening ma, pls i have a couple of questions;
i) what English proficiency exam did u write?
ii) which phone do u record with?
iii) Also, which app do you record with cos I am wondering how you are able to segment your videos into the various sub-topics u discussed?
Hello Sis Fisayo, I am unable to get application fee waiver from ASU having attended their events and asked for waiver during the events and via email, is there something I am not doing right? Kindly advise as the deadline for Fall is fast approaching, thank you.
Hello🥹 I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get a waiver. Did you try requesting for time to speak with a representative from the school?
If you’ve done all these and no positive response, it’s possible they have exhausted their waiver allocation for this application period seeing that it’s almost deadline time.
Honestly if you feel strongly about attending ASU, don’t let the application fee deter you from the opportunity if you can afford it.
Hi Fisayo. For Penn state University, did you have to apply for the Maimuna fellowship separately?
No I didn’t. The admission offer came with the fellowship. This also applies to all the other schools I received funding from, I didn’t make a separate application for scholarships.
@@FisayoGracieAbby Thank you very much!
Pls can I have MBA full scholarship in USA without Test scores
Hi Fisayo, what happens when school gives you a partial funding and you don't get a favorable response after asking for more. Those that jeopardize what they already gave you?
Hi Chinelo. No I doubt it. I tried to negotiate with some schools and didn’t get anything. It didn’t affect what I already had
Hi, Fisayo! Could you please tell me if scholarship award letter can be a proof of funds for F-1 visa?
No, it’s not sufficient. You need to also show your bank statement. Please watch my videos on F1 visas
Nice video
Thanks!
Heloo....please can you assist me scholarship opportunities for my MA studies?
I wasn’t given an admission. Their reason was that the course I did as my first degree has nothing to do with business. I’m a lawyer
I’m sorry to hear this Tiwatola. I know many lawyers who have taken MBA programs. Many times you’d need to tie your previous background with your current aspiration to get an MBA and then what you intend to do with it post MBA. Your essays and interview also need to be convincing. What schools did you apply to?
Hi Fisayo,I just applied for the Ohio Northerner University for an Undergrad Major in Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Business.Please how do i send them my requirements?
Hello, you can definitely get details on how to send your application on the school's website.
@@FisayoGracieAbby Yeah have sent an application but it didn't contain PDFs of my high school records.
Will it be requested for later?
Quick question
Please how do you send transcript to the schools? FedEx? Or how
Most schools demand transcripts are sent directly to them
How many schools do I have to keep paying for this sending
Help me out here
Thanks
Schools majorly only request for the transcript when they offer an admission. In the application process the transcript requested is the digital format.
I didn’t use FedEx or any of those companies.
Hi Fisayo,
Did you also apply with GRE/GMAT. I will appreciate your response.
*Thanks for all your videos and information via your YT Channel.
Yes I did! Pls check out my other videos ☺️
@@FisayoGracieAbby Alright. Thank you.
Hello Fisayo,
Please help me out, I don’t understand the deadline for the course I’m about applying for at ASU IT says... Fall
Deadline:15/12
Is this supposed to me applications for fall 2023 will close as early as December this year....
Or it means applications for spring will close by December.
Your response will be of great help.
It means the application deadline for fall thats for august resumption is 15th of December
@@estheradaji2336 thank you
I would like to ask, are schools in the US also asking for three years working experience to be able to enrol for MBA?
Great question! I answered it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/qyPP9s7syXo/v-deo.html
Did you do credentials evaluation?
By who?
USA schools require official transcripts directly from the school. how did your Univesity manage to send to all the different universities your transcript and on time? looks hectic and requires commitment
I sent my transcript to someone in one of the schools, then asked the person to send it to me. It was that version I now sent to all the schools I applied to. The official transcript is only required when you get admitted
@@FisayoGracieAbby Ok. I get it. Thank you
Hi Fisayo, my name is Nkiruka and i would love to find out if you applied for scholarships before applying for the admission?
kindly guide me through on the processes, after checking out PhD courses and emailing the coordinator etc, at what point do you now apply for the scholarships? thank you.
Hi Nkiruka, thanks for watching! I answered your question with my video “How I got 3 full scholarships”, please watch it
@@FisayoGracieAbby noted,thank you
Hi Fisayo,I’m watching from Ghana,,what is the link to apply for Arizona state university
Dear Fisayo,I really would want to have a private with you as I look up to you seeing that I also want to apply to a mba program too..but unfortunately I will have to write the questions too loads of dm you will be receiving
Please would like to ask
1) did you apply to the school first before applying to the scholarship or
2) you applied to the scholarship straight or
3) once you apply to the school, you are automatically qualified for the scholarship?
Please do reply...thanks
Once I applied to the schools I was automatically considered for scholarship. I’ve mentioned this in many of my videos dear. Please watch them
@@FisayoGracieAbby thanks so much for the reply
Hey. Did you apply with GMAT?
GRE
Can I negotiate after accepting an offer?
Absolutely!
Please I didn’t get the programme that you applied for
I’m so sorry to hear that. What do you need help with?
Congratulations Fisayo

Hi Fisayo,
Thank you for all the info you provide for prospective MBA applicants. I'm looking to join the MBA class of 2024 and your videos have been very helpful so far. However, I've signed up for your accountability circle but am yet to get feedback from you. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you 😃

Please can you share your profile GRE SOP LOR GPA etc
You graduated with a first class
Hi Fisayo,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I will like to ask if as an international student, is IELTS an important document to be submitted for Full Scholarship as it is for GRE?
And if you can, kindly give your opinion on all the necessary documents to present as an international student to access a full scholarship.
Thank.
It depends on the school. Some schools do not require students to send an English proficiency test (IELTS/TOEFL). Please check the previous video I shared before this for full information on all the required documents
Money bag….. it’s plenri lol
Lmao please do not ask me for money oh God I’m screaming.
Just needed to put that disclaimer out there sis😭🤣
