Closely look at the statement: NDDC paid the remaining 3000 tuition cost and also paid 16000 as living exp. Is the total not 19,000 pounds? But $30000 is less than 19000 pounds.

ok....about 18kpounds

ok....lets hope they increase the $30,000 this year

chivitech:

What you are talking about is school-dependent. Not all schools put that restrictions. The restrictions on school scholarships is that you cannot hold more than one funding from the school but you can support your school funding from external sources (as far as that external source is not FULL funding)

Does it mean one cannot use two external sources to fund your tuition fee

funding for tuition =no
living expenses =yes
is Nddc partial scholarship =yes

Are you trying to say the nddc scholarship last yr was 3000+16000=19000 pounds? I thought it was $30000 (~17700 pounds).

Anyone can clarify please.

Current exchange last year equated the money to almost 19000 pounds (around N250 to a pound)

Last year dollar was around N165 to a dollar.

30000 dollars is N4,950,000 (30000*165)

Last year pounds was around N260 to a pound

N4,950,000 is equivalently 19,000 pounds (4950000/260)

Hope you get it now?

Matters arising....

Most external source cannot allow you to combine their funds with others unless the school's deductions. You can work around that if one of the funding is cash-based (i.e. you can collect cash from the sponsor). I am fortunate to get this year NITDA scholarship and my tuition fee for the University of Oxford is 20,455 pounds. I paid the 455 pounds before going to the NITDA interview as NITDA is 20000 pounds capped. When I got there, they refused my admission with Oxford, saying that it is not accepted to mixed the NITDA scholarship with another fund. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? But there is always a work around...

If they do, where will they get money for embezzlement?

The topic they deliberated on doesn't have to do with us firstly, secondly I think ondo state doesn't have a high quota in nddc stuff. If you do the maths by the highest oil producing states and then multiply your results with 200, you'd get the approximate number of candidates each state will get. Assuming they do it that way though.

I want to also give a response with respect to getting scholarships from school and etc.
most people who when applying to their schools put that they were being sponsored didn't get any form of scholarship from the school. I'm a victim of that. So I think if you put self sponsored you would be entitled to a scholarship. Then I don't know if you can eat more than one scholarship from your government but if you can, I still maintain my position that it isn't fair. We all have consciences. If your own gree you do am, good for you but if I were in such position I wouldn't.

I really dont knw wat to call dat but i bliv each participating state shld b alloted a quota of candidates to produce dan letting the selection be just like dat.

kurma: I really dont knw wat to call dat but i bliv each participating state shld b alloted a quota of candidates to produce dan letting the selection be just like dat.

We are saying same thing. The quota was allocated according to how much oil is produced in each of the nddc states.

Goodday good people of Niger Deltan, I just dey pass ooo, I say make I hail o na, on a lighter note...."That awkward moment when you are sensitive/expecting a text message from NDDC, then "Please call me back" sms come they enta ur fone...#Annoying...I pray the grace and favour of God see us through...#TeamOptimistic....
