BritishUni:
There is a company called British University Consultancy who coach and mentor you for about 18 months and then write your university application and personal statement for you. Two of my friends have used it and they now go to University of Reading and University of Oxford.

Has anybody else heard of or used this company?

Go to BCI E instead- . I've used them before and it doesn't take 18 months to do all that. http://www.bcie.co.uk/offices/nigeria

Thanks for the advice
British University Consultancy spend the 18 months helping you build your CV and experiences - I am aiming for a top British University. Would BCI E do the same do you think?

Yes, BCIE would do the same. Follow the link and check their website for a list of British universities they are affiliated with.

Thanks a lot.

Well .....Canadian schools seems not to be giving anyone with a 2.2 MSC admission..... Unless the school has PGD....which one can undergo for one year before proceeding for the program... Well, 2015 scholars should help me out.....I love to school in Canada.

. If u luv to skool in canada, i'll advice u undergo a 1yr PGD program in naija to make up the requirements. My friend had a 2.2 &a PGD(distinction) in Pet Tech at IPS, Uniport. He sents his transcripts &his lil workin' experience, reference letters from his dept, a well-detailed CV, statement of purpose to study chem/pet Eng at uni.of Calgary, he was offered admission. He'll be leavin' latest August endin' to resume sept. 1st. So u can also try.

Thanks a lot.

Getting a pgd admission in university of Saskatchewan is not that easy oh,u need to get a supervisor first oh

Chydobe:
Dear 2015 scholars, please help me with these questions...
1) was there any awardee that got admitted to a two year programme?
2) was there any awardee that got admitted to an Australian University?
3) if awarded the scholarship will it still be valid by February?
thank you

. I really need answers to this questions too &it seems there are not much Aussie scholars on NDDC awards. But i think it dosen't matter, as long as its a foreign university. cos i intend or possibly use NDDC scholarship as counter-part funding to study at Australia next year, due to their expensive tution fees.
According to the university in-country Rep, she told me that from next year, per semester fees will be Au$18,800, and my duration of study for Subsea Eng. @Curtin Uni. is 4semesters (2yrs).

I think the scholrship should be valid till Feb. Cos sometimes they release the cash really late to the beneficiaries which some scholars without start-up cash usually defer their admissions. But don't know about this year if the cash will be released as at when due.

Is too long....the scholarship must have expired by then....thanks ...though.

diggy4real:

Nothing is impossible but how viable is the possibility... You need to make further inquiries if their PGD programme is still on as some schools will avail you that infor when you eventually get to mail dem..

Getting Supervisors may never be cheaply easy as you think with even a First class talk more of something lower!

A trial will kill nobody but be prepared never to be disappointed if eventually you seem dealt a blow! If you finished from Natural Sciences, your chances may just be higher but if Engineering, otherwise may be the case! I've been on that path so you could as well conclude advice is from experience!

baresi22:

Hello,tuition has been paid....@saouri it was in proxy.@diggyreal,it was categorically stated MSC.I am not aware of any probability or possibility.@Nelzone,I have always said that I have fellow scholars in the U.S,canada and the likes.Even if the MSC is for 20years,u are only entitled to 30k USD....6 months is period of validity.You are expected to use it before six months from the time of award.There are so many questions that I have answered.It is just to look at the previous pages.Goodluck

@baresi22,
Thanks so much for all the valuable info so far.

I'd like to ask if you know anyone that got the scholarship last year and deferred resumption till this year. Thanks

Yes I did. I will be commencing my programme in September. However, you need to note that you can only defer your admission once.

Please has anyone heard from nddc?

Seems the September release will be actualize oooo since we havnt heard anything from nddc yet

Pls who in NDDC can we call to get clarification if one can go for his/her studies before the list is release. And if one can process the scholarship from overseas or have a proxy do it for one.

Thumbs up

Good morning all,after series of writings,one of the prestigious newspapers has written about our plight.Please,kindly help us and post in your various social media wall.It is not just our fight but also for scholars that they will send after us.This dastardly and unholy act has to be nipped in the bud.The link is below here.

Thank you so much as I anticipate your kind help.God bless you.

This is a horrible experience that I will not wish even my enemies. You are supposed to be on scholarship....study hard, enjoy the luxury of a decent living whilst studying and make your country proud. How can you be proud of a country with insensitive leaders?
The budget was passed months ago, NDDC allocation FULLY paid to the commission yet this harrowing experience. When they say we are from the DARK continent, many think we are being slighted unjustly.
How can you send out someone who probably is travelling to a foreign land for the very first time with no form of ties there without ANY financial assistance? If this is not a form of militancy attack, can someone explain this gory and inhumane act to me please?
When you get sponsorship from say PTDF, commonwealth, Chevening.....you feel very ashamed to tell people you didn't graduate as the best in your class!
PTDF will first invite you to an induction in ABJ, accommodation and feeding all paid for. You are taken to the embassy and treated as an ambassador of your country. You get called to come pick your visa for onward journey to your study destination..***PTDF is responsible for all logistics....visa processing and 2- way flight ticket.
You are given allowance for laptop and warm outfits. You are paid some months of maintenance upfront.....all in Nigeria BEFORE you travel. *** Even the famous Oliver Twist cannot ask for more!
You open an account once you settle in and send details to PTDF..... your maintenance is paid ALWAYS on time! More than enough which will enable you focus on your primary assignment.... read, read and read. You also have enough time to socialise and and network( depending though).....you have enough resources to reach out to others, HOME AND ABROAD(Including fellow students like NDDC SCHOLARS....smh!)
PTDF delegates will come and visit you to know how you are faring( hope that is still the case). You have a decent accommodation and can afford good foods that can keep body and soul together. Most importantly, induce those inactive brain cells that the problems our African leaders seem to have inactivated. Allocation is also made for PhD scholars to attend conferences.
You pick your calls whenever your phone bleeps because you are not indebted to anyone....#landlord #Relation
You sleep in your room and not school library. Some do, not because they want to read all night but because their room ( if they have one, is too COLD FOR COMFORT!).
You can access blackboard( for your course materials and coursework submission) whenever you want and not always running to friends to assist you with their log in details.
My heart bleeds for these innocent victims of our failed system in Nigeria. The hustle is real! Don't give up brothers. Doing a match day work, picking and packing in that factory, looking after that sick old/young/ mentally challenged patient should not discourage you guys.
Many passed through same poo and made it. We have to encourage ourselves if the system deems it VERY fit to work against us.
Do what you have to do and above all try and be happy guys. Have a lot to write but that probably will be in a book for my grandchildren....hopefully.
Some people now think NIGERIA is a failed state....is it not obvious why they reason the way they do?
God bless our country Nigeria......and may the labours of our heroes past never be in vain!

Unu do'oooh
Well done.

The part cannot understand is where they said payments are to be made through the CBN. Are scholars not meant to be priority?
Shameful is an understatement!

To all the scholars out there,please take solace in the fact that the country is so much worse at the moment!
Stay strong out there & try to remain there legally. Nigeria is no functioning now oh! Hunger in the land and food is double the prices you left it at last year/January.
He who has ears let him hear...

Thanks mate.Seems you were a ptdf scholar and probably schooled in the UK.It is pretty difficult to be here without funds.They left us since and all our efforts to make the media houses publish our story had fallen on deaf ears before now.I am sincerely grateful to Nigeria tribune.NDDC has been used to paying their scholars late (sometimes 4-6months). However, ours is the longest as some have stayed 8months while others since september last year.We have suffered enough.The worst is that our allocation is in 2015 budget and even their 2016 budget have also been approved.They just refused to pay us and keep blaming TSA and forex.Yet PTDF pay theirs and on time.Why we are fighting is for this barbaric act to stop and trust me we wont stop until they do the right thing and possibly justice is served.

I implore you guys to help us by giving it the publicity that it truly deserves through any way you can especially social media.Thank you all.

He who has ears let him hear...

As I speak to you they have not authorised CBN to pay us.They talk about forex and I ask if they also need forex to pay people their 500k travel allowance into their Nigerian account?They have our e-mails since over a year,why are they sending apology mail just yesterday?The answer is that they heard of our planned protest.What is more disheartening is that they also want to send people here to suffer the same thing.why will you turn scholarship to 'suffership'..The questions begging for answers are just too many.

We remain resolute even in this extremely difficult situation.Our parents can hardly send us money because most of us are from indigent homes and the value of the naira to the GBP is at unprecedented rate.Let it be on record that they have not ever mentioned about not having money,we do hear that they will pay 'soon'(I think this word needs to be revisited) since march this year.

Just help give it the publicity...Thank you all

After reading what you guys are going through, i doubt i even want anything to do with this scholarship. Take heart man God will see you guys through.



Tomorrow someone will come and say we want resource control as a region when people from the same region are playing with a scheme like this that is suppose to help build the region.


I've always said it and i will continue to say it: if we can't get it right now, we can never get it right with all that resources in our control.

It took the death of a 10 year old victim to unveil the ritual killings by Otokoto and co in the early 90's. You could be the one to turn things around for good. Let's face it, $30K is not that bad for a foreign scholarship. The major issue is the way they administer it. Trust me, with better organisation, NDDC scholars will be smiling like others.
The only way we can fix the lapses in the country is when we become part of the system, feel the direct pain and think of a lasting solution.
It took a Rosa Park to put an end to black discrimination in the US.... at least to a reasonable extent. You could be the missing link in this struggle.....no bail out abeg.
