Wierdo: @sir olsey,Pls according to ur opinion, from what cgpa is d chances of being chosen high?In my opinion, a 3.5 (on 5.0 scale) should be considered (if you have an excellent or very good O'level to complement with) or a 4.0 and above. It will be great (though not compulsory) if you have won any academic competition or award ( NOT SCHOLARSHIPS ) Just prove to them (with humility) at the interview that you are good. I will try to get the actual date for the interview. Everyone who applied must showup for interview, there is no initial shortlisting. Three Things That May Obliterate Your Chances: 1. If you don't have good academic records (results). 2. If you tell them you have won a scholarship before. 2. If your parents' occupation(s) are lucrative or your family resides in the "rich-only" areas. |

Re: 2013 Gani Fawehinmi Scholarship by uceee(m): 5:48pm On Jul 24, 2013 |
What exactly is the meaning of "indigent" here? The way I see it, it literally means, "I may drop out of school if I don't get a scholarship". I stand to be corrected. |
Re: 2013 Gani Fawehinmi Scholarship by Olsey: 10:05am On Jul 25, 2013 |
samley19: sir olsey, am confusd here, du u mean we wd stil hv an interview... wts it lik whr wen .. typ of qwestns pls?Yes, there will be an interview for all applicants and the date is already fixed (still trying to get the date from them, I've been very busy though). They ask you basic questions, about your biological background, source of funding, your academic background and why you think you should be awarded the scholarship. There is no delay with Gani Fawehinmi scholarship, they pay you in less than 2 weeks or so after the interview. |

uceee: What exactly is the meaning of "indigent" here? The way I see it, it literally means, "I may drop out of school if I don't get a scholarship". I stand to be corrected.By "Indigent," it means "poor and needy". In this context, it means the applicant genuinely needs some form of support. Or the applicant struggles to stay afloat financially. It may not necessarily mean "about to drop out" |
Re: 2013 Gani Fawehinmi Scholarship by ShehuAba(m): 12:00pm On Jul 25, 2013 |
I would have applied for the scholarship but we are currently on Long vacation and am already in Lag, so it's quite difficult for me to get my H.O.D'S and Registrar's recommendation. But why should they behave like this? This has just disqualified me. |
Re: 2013 Gani Fawehinmi Scholarship by uceee(m): 12:20pm On Jul 25, 2013 |
Olsey:Thanks for the clarification. As much as we all love scholarships, I think we should leave this one for the really indigent students. Am not trying to sound "holier than thou" but since only 20 students are going to be awarded, let's leave it for those who really need it. There is no need applying if your parents comfortably afford your education. 1 Like |

sir olsey,i meant: would the interview be oral or writtn. what are thier likely questions. would the interview be the only determinant for those to be picked;don't they consider our g.p's |

samley19: sir olsey,i meant: would the interview be oral or writtn. what are thier likely questions. would the interview be the only determinant for those to be picked;don't they consider our g.p'sThe interview will be ORAL. Please scroll up, I wrote some of the things to be expected at the interview. CGPA will count since "brilliant and indigent" are the two key factors, however CGPA will not be a final decider. Applicants should have a combination of the key qualities. In as much as you try to prove your intellectual worth to the panel (coupled with claims of financial constraints), humility still counts. |
