Seeking scholarships and admissions abroad is an endeavour for everyone, including the poor.
I say this as someone who has applied for multiple international government scholarships and fellowships, secured several admissions, and eventually landed a fully funded offer.
For context, I did not pay application fees for Erasmus Mundus, and I did not write IELTS. People reduce costs through fee waivers, targeted applications, and strategic planning,
I have come across microgrants and access grants that support applicants with costs like passports and application fees where needed.
Specifically for scholarships like Erasmus Mundus, yes, you will pay upfront for your flight and initial rent. That is normal, you are not paid before arrival. You are typically reimbursed within your first month after arrival, once you open a bank account.
If your biggest worry is the money you will spend after getting a fully funded offer, you are worrying about the wrong thing. The offer is the hard part.
If you secure funding worth over €30,000, raising 1 to 2 million naira for travel is not the real barrier, especially with reimbursement in view.
What actually gatekeeps people is not poverty, it is lack of access to the right information, or being told it is not for them before they even try.
Framing this as “probably for middle class” discourages the exact people who need this information the most.
✨I want to be more intentional about the kind of community I build here.

There’s so much we can learn from each other.
