In his words:
"Applying for this program in Jan 2021 felt absurd because I kept questioning every fiber in me - wondering if I had what it took to be admitted into Oxford or even the financial resources to sustain my education."
He received the good news
The young Nigerian man stated that May 11 was the happiest day of his life as he received the Clarendon Scholarship Award.
According to Chinedu, the scholarship is only reserved for applicants who display academic excellence and strong passion towards their desired programme.
In his words:
"This was coming after I had been told earlier that I wasn’t awarded any scholarship and I literally gave up dreams of going to Oxford."
Expressing gratitude
Noting that what God cannot do does not exist, Chinedu said his story is one of grace, hard work, and perseverance.
He expressed gratitude to those who were instrumental to his success story. He said John Fung, James Balogun, and Taiwo Lawal stood behind him with their powerful LORs and constant words of support.
In his words:
"Segun Afolaranmi and Boluwatife Ikwunne who reviewed my application and encouraged me to persevere - and the list of my support system is endless."
