Ubijus1: Hello MR JAYBEE

I'm a 200L law student. Am i eligible to apply?

Idowuogbo:
MBOK, Go back and read the criteria slowly.

RedBenson:

Am i dreaming? Where have you been?

jaybee3:

Unfortunately we are only accepting prospective university applicants

We want to help those that want QUALITY education but can't necessarily afford it for one reason or the other

emmansy:

Plssss how about someone who just got admitted?

jaybee3:
If the admission can be deferred then yes but selection is not guaranteed so is it worth the risk?

modelmike7: ^ ^ ^ But she simply gave you a solution, just an answer to your question in a gentle tone. . . . Or are you annoyed with the 'Mbok word'? What does that mean in Calabar?. . . . . . . @Topic, God bless you for this laudable Project.

Bukkasukka: Can prospective masters students apply?

Ubijus1:

Bro mike,

what if i find that word 'mbok' offensive?
What if i can bearly read the criteria because of my screen size?
What if she saved herself the stress by simply replying 'yes/no' since she had read the criteria?
Don't take ludicrous sides next time...

raypex: How easily can people be tricked.
first of all, I don't think nairaland is involved in this. why didn't they use their websites email service?
Such scholarship is needed but from what I see, I think this is a well planed fraud.
Come to think of it? why does such an organization not have an office?

Be wary fraudsters are working hard at it this days.

pickabeau1: The E-Helpers Network is a reputable group made up of nairalanders like you and I whom have handled cases with all integrity and accountability.
Nairalanders can testify to that. See the NL Charity thread for more information

jaybee3: FAQs

1)Can I apply if I’m already at university
The application is strictly for secondary school leavers and applicants that have lost admissions due to financial constraints

2)When is the deadline for the application
Deadline is the 31st of December 2014

3)Can I apply if I only have SSCE result
Applicants are expected to have all the necessary requirements to gain admission into any of the federal university

4)Can I apply if I already have an admission for this year’s academic year
Yes you can apply but you will have to defer your admission

5)Can the scheme be extended to polytechnic
We are only accepting applications from prospective university students at this time

6)What can the award be used for
The award can ONLY be used towards payment of tuition fee. The winner will be expected to meet yearly CPGA target so they can continue receiving the support

7)Would there be more funding
The funding is fixed at 500k

8 ) How will the winner be selected
Submitted essays will be marked against expected competency for secondary school leavers. The applicants in the top percentile group shall go through to the second stage.

SSCE/UME results and submitted financial hardship evidence will be used to decide the winner of the TNRI scholarship.

Please see below, illustration of how we hope to select the winner (The yet to be selected decision panel will decide on specifics but we don’t expect the methodology to be too different from this)

Evidence of financial hardship will be aggregated using the following banding
Combined Income less than N40K = 50 points
Combined Income between N40.1K – 60K = 40 points
Combined Income between N60.1K – 80K = 30 points
Combined Income between N80.1K – 100K = 20 points

The UME and SSCE would be aggregated along the line of:

UME > 250 = 25 points
UME between 241 – 250 = 20 points
UME between 231 – 240 = 15 points
UME between 221 – 230 = 10 points
UME between 201 – 220 = 5 points

SSCE (grades aggregated to a max of 25 points)

A = 10
B = 8
C = 6

If the applicant took 9 papers then his/her aggregated score will be (sum of grades equivalent)/max possible score e.g.

Applicant A takes 9 papers and received results as follows:
5A’s and 4 B’s
=(( 50 + 32)/90)*25
His/her total aggregate for SSCE would be 22.7

If applicant B takes 6 papers and received results as follows:
6A’s and 1B
= ((60+8 )/70)*25
His/her total aggregate for SSCE would be 24.28

The applicant with the highest aggregate score shall be the winner of 2014/15 TNRI scholarship
