Have you contacted them
Re: Is Scholarshipuk.org A Scam by Samyj247: 7:28pm On Sep 25, 2014
I was in town yesterday and was about to branch to their office, so I called their number 08139012617 and was told that their office was on renovation and will be opened next week. But the problem now is that the payment to their account (for admission letter from uk) has 29 of this this month i.e sunday as the deadline for payment.

I also have that feeling that its real, but why would they say that their office is on renovation, when I was abt to visit them!!! The last day for payment is monday and I think I will just have to take the risk nd pay?

One word...

RUN!!!

The only reasonable payment any scholarship initiative could request is to register 'cos scholarships are not meant for all and sundry.

1k or 2k like in the case of Lagos State Scholarship Board (wholly organised by Lagos State Govt).

My brother, the fact that they were able to sponsor a huge publicity doesn't mean they would sponsor a huge crowd.

One word for the 9k you are required to pay.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Re: Is Scholarshipuk.org A Scam by Jgrek: 3:51pm On Sep 28, 2014
I wrote the test and I went to their office so they told me that The office is located at Melita Plaza, Area 11,
Abuja. It is a blue and white coloured plaza right
next to the very popular Area 11 Shopping
Complex in Abuja opposite FCDA. It is very easy to
locate.
However, the plaza where the office is located has
been closed for a few weeks now. This is because
Federal Government has instructed all Plaza
complexes in Abuja to upgrade their security and
install specific security devices. The Plaza
management has closed the Plaza temporarily in
order to do the necessary cabling work and install
the security devices as required by the
Government. We have been told that the plaza will
be reopened by first week in October.
This issue has affected not just the office of KDO
Inspire but also other reputable companies like
Access Bank and DSTV which also have offices in
he same office Complex.
Please bear with us for the inconvenience.
We hope this will be resolved in the shortest
possible time.
Warm Regards
