I hope all undergraduate applicants are putting SAT into consideration in order to have a high chance. WAEC grades alone is not enough. Remember you're competing with thousands of applicants.

I wish you guys the best.

I don't know about undergraduate applications, but for postgraduate applications, the eligibility assessment is automatic.

Once you answer those questions correctly, you become eligible to move to the next stage of the application process.

I want to be clear about the eassay.like what questions do they ask? is it statement of purpose like applying to normal university? for English test,if its a must ,how do I do it because I have registered but I'll be writing on DEC 9 ? do I scan transcript and recommendation letters and upload in d process? am in a fist please.

According to what is on their website, You have to apply to The MasterCard foundation scholarship program at The University of British Columbia firstly. Then after that, they will now notify you if you are worthy to apply for a place of admission. In all, you will have to successful with the scholarship first, then they will now assist you in your admission hustle

And of course you can apply to as many schools as possible that partners with the MasterCard foundation

In as much as you are in line, let me clear some issues to avoid confusion.

UBC MCF (Masters Application) -.

1. You mail the Program Coordinator, send them your transcript and they decide if you're eligible to apply for scholarship or not.

2. If you're eligible, they send you a form to fill, with 5 essays to write. After filling the form, you attach your essay, 2 reference letters, and other supporting documents like CV, transcripts, and certificates.

3 Upon receipt of your application package, MCF will direct you to apply to UBC and guide you to waive application fee.

4 If you receive admission from UBC, good. Your department will nominate you for MCF Scholarship (remember you have already submitted your application package to them).

5. Selection committee will decide on awarding the scholarship and results will be announced by March 2018.

Hope the steps was explicit enough.

Cheers

McGill follows same steps too?
Is Contacting a potential Supervisor needed for either?

Hi guys. Can I still apply for Edinburgh undergraduate 2018/19 session? I'm new to this so I'd like you all to put me through please. Thanks.

Steps for McGill is closely similar but not the same.

For McGill (Masters)

You contact the department you intend to apply to and seek nomination for MCF scholarship.

They will request for your credentials and forward it to department.

After review, department will contact you as whether you have been nominated for MCF or not.

If you have been nominated, MCF will confirm your eligibility and guide you to apply to McGill with fee waived.

Note: The nomination is done by a professor in the department you're applying to. Hence you don't have to contact them yourself.

I attached list of Program eligible for funding by MCF.

This was the message I got from McGill.

Cheers.

kennynelcon:

Yes, am applying for MSc Plant Science. According to inquiries, they only offer Non-thesis MSc for Mastercard.

Although I don't know for Engr.

Either way, it worth trying.

One of the objective of MCF is to produce talented leaders that have commitments of giving back to their community. With this, I expect past Scholars to offer professional experience and build capacity of upcoming Scholars.

Chris started this forum well, and I expect other Scholars should offer considerable support to upcoming leaders.

This forum should not die, we need to give tips that can help in achieving not only in getting this scholarship but also to building critical thinking of technocrats needed to bring change.

Remember, "to whom much is given, much is expected".

I will be willing to offer professional advice based on my experience to any interested applicants.

Note: I am not an MCF scholar yet, but i hope to be with this year’s application.

Should you have any challenges, do well to ask on this forum.

Let's work towards producing many MCF Scholars.



I am an MSc applicant through MCF.

Cheers!
