Welcome to another edition of Immigrate with voiceofnigeria. Today, we have some exciting news for those dreaming of moving and settling in the USA.
I’ll be sharing two incredible opportunities that don’t require a job offer, IELTS, or application fees.
Yes, you heard it right! It’s 100% free, 100% supported, and 100% unforgettable. Alright then, let’s not waste any more time and just get going.
Two Extraordinary Opportunities
The first opportunity I want to share is completely free, including free jobs for all accepted applicants. You won’t have to pay any application fees, and accommodation and meals are provided at no cost.
There are different levels of programs available, so if you’re above 35 years old, you can target the second opportunity I’ll be sharing. Also, native English speakers don’t need to take the IELTS exam. Say goodbye to language exam stress!

Two Institutions Offering Excellent Opportunities
Today, I’ll be discussing two institutions in the United States that offer amazing opportunities for international students.
Berea College
The first one is Berea College. It is one of the ten federally recognized work colleges in the United States. All admitted international students receive financial aid and scholarships that cover 100% of tuition, room, boarding, and fees for the first year of enrollment.
In subsequent years, international students are expected to save only $1,000 to contribute towards their expenses.
Application Deadlines
- Early Action: October 15
- Regular Admission: January 15
Application Requirements
- Online application (free)

Funding Opportunities
In the first year, the college covers 100% of all costs, including tuition, accommodation, feeding, and other fees. In subsequent years, students are only required to pay $1,000 towards their expenses. Berea College also offers a unique labor program that hires every student to work in campus positions, enhancing their education and preparing them for life after college.
