A Nigerian lady named Islamiyat Ojelade has broken all the barriers on her way to bag 7 fully funded scholarships in USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Islamiyat is a HND holder who studied Science Laboratory Technology at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rare feat for HND holders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ordinarily, it would be thought that Islamiyat must have to go through a master\u2019s, or pre-masters course before climbing the academic ladder, especially with the HND\/Degree dichotomy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it is amazing that the scholarships are for PhD, straight from HND. Her story has gathered a lot of attention on LinkedIn where she shared it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cConsidering the dichotomy between HND and BSc in Nigeria, I was scared and confused on what next to do after my undergraduate studies.<\/strong><\/p> \u201cI am so elated to inform you all that I will be starting my PhD program in Chemistry at the Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, USA this Fall, having received full scholarships from 7 universities in the United States of America with my Higher National Diploma in Science Laboratory Technology (Chemistry Major).\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p> The schools she got into are Florida State University, University of Massachusetts Armherst, University of Kansas, University of Kentucky, University of North Texas, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Marquette University<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n LinkedIn users react <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oyakhi Ibhagui said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCongratulations Islamiyat Islamiyat Ojelade.
