A poor migrant who moves to another country after receiving a scholarship to attend a prestigious foreign university likely does so for the following reasons:

1. **to improve the likelihood of securing a better-paying job, either at home or abroad** - Education can significantly enhance job prospects.
2. **to acquire new skills vital for a specialized trade or craft** - Attending a prestigious university can provide valuable skills and knowledge.

The other options, such as getting out of military service, taking advantage of that country’s social welfare system, or running for political office in that country, are less relevant to the primary motivation of a migrant pursuing education through a scholarship.
