Short Story

For years, I’ve believed that where you start should not limit how far you can go.

I studied Human Kinetics Education at the University of Ilorin and completed my NYSC in 2022, after which I continued working as a teacher.

Last year, I was awarded the GCUB International Mobility Scholarship (GCUB-Mob) to pursue my postgraduate studies in Brazil 🇧🇷. The scholarship covers full tuition and provides a monthly stipend. After deferring my admission, I’ve been given another opportunity, which I do not take for granted.

I have already covered my health insurance and character certificate. At this stage, I need support to cover my remaining pre-departure costs, mainly visa processing and travel expenses (₦3,000,000 – ₦3,500,000).

I’ve made several efforts to raise the funds independently but I’m still short within the required timeframe. This is my final hurdle.

I would deeply appreciate any support—whether through contributions or by sharing this.

Thank you for helping me take this final step forward

Campaign Story

For years, I have held on to one belief that where you start should not limit how far you can go.

I studied Human Kinetics Education in the University of Ilorin, and completed my NYSC in 2022. During my service year, I had the opportunity to teach in a school, and I continued working there afterward.

Last year, I was awarded the GCUB International Mobility Scholarship (GCUB-Mob) to pursue my postgraduate studies in Brazil.
This scholarship covers full tuition, monthly stipend and access to university facilities and I have attached proof of the award in this post for transparency. I requested and had my admission deferred. Being offered another chance is something I do not take for granted.

At this stage, I am required to cover essential pre-departure costs, including
• Visa and documentation
• Travel expenses
I have already taken responsibility for and covered my health insurance and character certificate.
The total amount required is between ₦3,000,000 and ₦3,500,000.
I have made several attempts to raise this amount on my own, including exploring loan options, but these have not worked out within the required timeframe.
This is my final hurdle.
I am humbly reaching out for support. If you are able to contribute financially or help amplify this by sharing, I would deeply appreciate it.

Thank you for your time, your support, and for helping me take this final step forward.
