In truth, you don't need Nigeria's scholarship. mathematics is a hot cake in US institutions. Most mathematics dept fully fund their master and PhD students. You need to check institutions in US and probably write GRE

mhbabanna:

Assist in any way. I have searched Google more than a thousand times but I have not been able to make a headway

nuel1648:
How much stipend do PTDF pay local scholars in a year?
Will PTDF pay the full tuition fee?

guiddoti:
A scholar told me 1200 as at then. Based on your attachment, it seems they have increased monthly stipend to 1550

DSSHQ:
I think you should start by taking the GRE. A score of at least 164 in the quant, plus a good SOP & CGPA , you are good to go. Mayflowa can shed more light on it. It is a bit easy for mathematics graduates compared to engineering graduates. I really don't know why that's so.

Mayflowa:


The reason is not far-fetched. Most science students, engineering up to agriculture and some social science undergraduates take classes with Mathematics dept. So the dept is always in need of Graduate Assistant to cater for the need of the students

widrics:

I don't think so. I'm also last year beneficiary,I haven't been paid.

Does that mean getting a good score in GRE the schools would automatically get across to me?

Some schools do at times. You have to apply to many with your documents and test scores.

If you are interested in schools in texas. Type the list of schools in Texas on google. Start checking their mathematics departments, then check their sites for financial aid and admission requirement. You would then know if funding is given to all admitted students.
Owk sir. Efforts appreciated

My school, University of Missouri does give scholarship to all math graduate students.

You can visit the USA students' thread on the travel section on nairaland to get more information

Happy birthday bro. God bless

Renzel:
The current scholars received £6,600 on two occasions. That's about £1,100/month. The money was paid in bulk. No special allocation for laptops. Return ticket is fully paid for as well. My nigga is a current scholar.

Rocorleone:


Why the return ticket?
Are scholars required to return to the country after studies? mystikal

Renzel:
Yeah bro, scholars are supposed to return after studies. In the UK, that decision is already made for you cos of their visa policy. Yankee is more flexible about theirs so you can work around it...Maybe.

DreManuel:


That's the reason why I avoided UK like a bubonic plague. You are to return after 4 months if you can't get a job that pays over GBP20,000 p.a., circa cos the PSW was cancelled during Theresa May's tenure as Inland Secretary.

Rocorleone:

I mean as a policy by PTDF, are scholars agreed upon to return to the country after studies?
Hope you get the question

How long is Yankee student visa?

Anfieldboss:


Just an observation sir, I think the whole essence of the PTDF OSS is to train and develop manpower in areas lacking and needing in the O&G sector of Nigeria, so if PTDF scholars do not want to return back to Nigeria on completion of their MSc or PhD, that purpose is defeated. Please when you eventually get the scholarship make efforts to return back to Nigeria, she needs you.

Renzel:
Yes they are.

DreManuel:


Yes I agree with you. I don't intend to stay put there cos I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt, wore a hole in it, and now use it as a duster. Nevertheless, it is to the advantage of a scholar to get at least a year of OPT so that upon returning with a foreign experience, he/she would have a competitive edge here where jobs are hard to get.

Rocorleone:

What about those that refuse returning?
