“I don’t think the primary or secondary school Edgar would have believed it. My story is one of grace, hard work, and the support of a whole village behind me,” he wrote.
A brilliant Nigerian man named Edgar Buberwa has achieved an extraordinary milestone by earning two prestigious fully-funded United Kingdom government scholarships—the Chevening Awards and the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship—to pursue his master’s degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
With the Chevening Scholarship, Edgar earned a Master’s degree in Development Management (Applied Development Economics) from London School of Economics.
The Chevening scholarship, renowned for its competitiveness, covers all expenses associated with studying abroad, including tuition, accommodation, visa fees, and travel, making it one of the most sought-after awards for international students. Read more about the scholarship
Reflecting on his inspiring journey, Edgar shared on LinkedIn that, had someone told him 10 years ago he would study at LSE, he might not have believed them—let alone that he would earn two fully-funded scholarships and have the privilege of choosing between them.
