Generally, Education can be quite expensive. Even more so when you are an independent individual. To relieve some of the financial pressure, Universities, Organisations, Charities and Governments offer students various Scholarship offers to offset part or all of the financial requirements for their studies.

Lu Gold EDC has access to numerous Scholarship opportunities. To paint a better picture for you, in 2019, 78% of our UK Student Applicants received either a partial or full Scholarship.

In addition to this, In Nigeria, Lu Gold EDC is directly partnered with various Scholarship boards in states like Kano, Jigawa, Cross River and has strong associations with Agencies like the PTDF, NDDC and NNCMC. Through this relationship, we are able to assist these agencies in not only providing Admission offers to beneficiaries but in some unique cases, also, vetting eligibility of applicants.

We also help all our clients to build a Scholarship profile. There are numerous scholarships available to students. The major challenge comes with responding to the interview questions for these Scholarships. We help all EDC clients build a list of personalized responses to the most commonly asked questions. Making it easier for them to quickly apply for various Scholarship Opportunities.

Lu Gold EDC is involved in the training of School Teachers and Counselors on various topics. During our Quarterly School Tours, we offer School Counselors at the Schools we visit the opportunity to be fully trained on how to guide and counsel students on further education and choosing the right career path.

Most of our Counselling trainings are done online and a certificate of completion is issued to the Teacher/Counsellor. After completing this programme, School Counsellors are able to properly understand and distinguish between the various pathway routes to University and the benefits of each.

For our partner Academic Institutions, every year, Lu Gold EDC selects one male and female teacher and sponsors them for a British Council Training Programme.
