Impactever:



Thank you so much ....DMAINMAN ....you are indeed a huge blessing to humanity ....

God bless you richly

Thank you. God bless you more.

Feraz:
Boss Boss!!!

Thanks for the update. Very much appreciated.

You are welcome

Any info on this?

ExpertNLer:
@Dmainman, this year's PTDF started earlier unlike other years, do you know when they will do the interviews?

ExpertNLer:
Any info on this?

No idea

Quite insightful and truthful, did you win it last year? or prior to last year?

scarplanet:
Why not ask your questions on this platform and receive your response? This is important because anyone who reads the thread in subsequent years will actually benefit from it.

Truth is there is no rocket science in getting the scholarship. Aside the favour of God involved, your ability to be smart and paying attention to minute details matters alot.

Second truth is... If you are waiting to get a sample Statement of Purpose, then i must frankly say that it is the beginning of failure. There is nothing as noteworthy and important as formulating the statement of purpose in your own words and your own experience. This is because in months to come, you can clearly defend what you have written because it typically embodies you.
1. You should be familiar with PTDF's vision and core mandates. Try to build your SoP around these mandates (Very Helpful).
2. Specifically mention what you intend to accomplish during studies. Focus on your strengths.
3. Be sure to state how the knowledge gathered from the studies can be applied in solving real problems; not really pertaining to oil and gas.
4. DO NOT for any reason mention that you hope to get a good job abroad after studies to practise what you have learnt.
5. It will be beneficial to state that you are looking forward to diversifying... meaning while focusing on your studies, you wouldnt mind acquiring other skills (mention these skills).
6. One of the mandate of PTDF is human capital development. so you are expected to show command of good level of leadership, communication, interpersonal and problem solving capabilities.

Finally like i always tell people, focus on building yourself. Truth is whether you are for MSc or PhD, three things should stand you are - Academic Qualification, Publications, and Awards and Membership of Professional Bodies. Not everyone would have a First class honours, but while someone with a first class might have a little advantage, a fellow without a first class honours can be chosen ahead of the first class (Trust me, i am not bluffing)!
My point is, do not lay all emphasis on the statement of purpose and forget other very important areas.

Cheers.

A lot of updates are still being carried out on the PTDF flxisaf website. Do not rush to submit your application to avoid regrets.I logged in today and noticed a lot of updates and I had nearly submitted last week but for the challenges I had.

av submitted since last week Friday, I did all the filling n uploading on my Android phone using chrome n all the options pop up, I was using my laptop initially but the site was doing somehow, so I tried it on the phone n everything was fyn.
is better to fill n submit early b4 rush hour, I don't think they will start adding additional options now dat d site is up n running, they should av perfected everything b4 they open the site, (just my observations)

Do you plan to study in FRANCE, BELGIUM, AUSTRALIA, INDIA, USA, UK AND THAILAND. There are currently genuine scholarships available now with limited space in all these countries listed.
Do you also want to pay your CANADIAN AND USA SERVIS FEE?
Do you need help to do a successful F1 visa application to the United States, in order to avoid denials?

If you are successful past this stage, you will be having an interview NOT an aptitude test.

If memory serves me right, i believe you should be asked for your passport number during application. What i do not know is if not filling the passport number will be of any consequence.

Please Dmainman and the rest. For those of us that chose Germany, how do we go about the Daad application and what are the documents required?

please I noticed after submitting that my SOP was not well paragraphed. please does this have any effect.

Please I've got two questions:1. Can one choose all three schools from same country or the choices must be across the three countries? 2. I saw an option under the upload which reads "Admission Letter for Undergraduates and Postgraduates". What are we expected to upload here?

Co-ask @Dmainman

Anyone has an idea as to how much the scholarship award is for German Msc Scholars?

I don't have a publication, can I use a training sponsorship I got in the past? (After a vigorous screening process, I was among 14 Nigerians selected to be sponsored for a training in Europe)

That's rather an award not a publication
