A 17-year-old Nigerian secondary school graduate, Victory Yinka-Banjo—who previously scored straight A1s in all nine of her 2020 WASSCE subjects and topped the world in Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language—has been offered 19 full-ride undergraduate scholarships totaling over $5 million by elite universities across the United States and Canada.
Ivy League, US & Canadian Universities That Offered Her Full Scholarships
- Ivy League Universities (USA): Harvard College, Yale University, Princeton University, and Brown University.
- Top US Research Universities: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Virginia (among others).
- Prestigious Canadian Scholarships: The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship at the University of Toronto and the Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow (KMILOT) Award at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
Victory shared that she applied broadly because she initially felt her chances of admission were slim, only to be accepted with full funding by 19 top global institutions.
