Nigerian scholarship consultant, Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi, has listed 15 universities in the US that accept HND transcripts without WES evaluation from Nigerian students and some that accept transcripts and WES evaluation.
The tweet via his X handle on Thursday revealed that universities in the United States of America accept transcripts or World Certificate Evaluations (WES) from international students with university degrees only who wish to further their education in the country.
This is as majority of Nigerian students with Higher National Diploma degrees from polytechnics usually feel marginalised and inferior to those with Bachelor’s degrees from universities especially when seeking admission abroad.
