DMainMan:Thanks @OP. Unfortunately, I just observed that you can't apply for this UK's if you have applied for the other one earlier launched. They should have launched both at the same time. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Why is this thread so "cold and dry"? Does it mean that there are actually little to no applicants for UK schools? Or is the action taking place somewhere else? 2 Likes |

Please, I need clarification on this. Haven applied for the PTDF UK Scholarship and chosen the institutions and courses, are we to apply separately to those courses in the individual institutions or the PTDF Scholarship already covers the application for the course? |
