Hello fellow nairalanders
I want to apply for the 2017 nddc scholarship, and I heard it is only for UK schools, please how true is this cos I really want to study in canada ,,even filled out some Canadian schools application form.. .thanks
Also can someone add me to the whatsapp group please ?07067152384

Thermok:


No it isn't true. NDDC accepts schools from other countries, especially Canada. There are scholars presently schooling there.

thought I should fine tune the statement. Its not a U.K. Or Canadian scholarship, its foreign. I've friends heading Australia India South Africa New Zealand Ireland Spain. The important thing is that its outside Nigeria and bear in mind that the scholarship has a cap ..... the excess is on personal funds

Mayflowa:
This is officially the worst thread on Nairaland. You took the discussion out of a proper forum to lock yourselves in whatsapps. Shame on you! No one should come here to complain of non-tuition payment when it happens. Of course, it will surely happen. Goodluck to you on your miserly scholarship

A good one. I have somebody that is currently in Canada for same Nddc Post Graduate scholarship.

I got mine last year (architecture, Russia) ... The CBT was over 50,each NDDC state has its own cut of Mark, am from Bayelsa I got 37, was invited for d interview, was asked my intended dissertation topic, how it will be of help to Nigeria, aims n objective of my dissertation, section 2 consists of political questions, was asked wat these acronyms meant "C.O.N", "C.C.T.V" , the minister of tourism.

I have been watching quietly on this PQ issue, some want to help but give half info,others want to make money,in the end we all need each other to survive.
Let me share the little I have:a friend of mine wrote the CBT last year,what came out wasn't cinfores at all,but Normal maths,English and general questions on Engineering and sciences(physics,chemistry,biology),time frame:1hr,interview TF:5k.he is currently in Canada now

They specified the courses that you can apply for.Meanwhile,for you to be shortlisted,I guess your course was stated.It is for any foreign school.However,NDDC have selected schools that they are in partnership with.They have MOU with cranfield uni,uni of aberdeen,coventry,teesside uni,dundee uni etc.All are in the U.K.The advantage is that these schools will not bother you even when the tuition fails to come on time.More of these details will be given to the successful scholars on the award day. It is also important to note that the scholarship is worth 30k USD(about 21k GBP) as at last year and all inclusive.Hence,there is need for you to also consider cost of tuition and living expenses before making choice of uni and the likes.

The cutoff mark is not really a problem.If one scores slightly above 60%,the person will likely be called.Having said that,you should aim for the maximum because it is weighted with the interview score.About 40% usually make it to the interview stage.

Someone asked for my contact,apologies,but I cant reveal such here and moreso,there is nothing that I will tell you that I cant say here.I will attend to any question or clarification here that will not jeopardize the integrity of the exam.You need not to be uneasy,neither do you need to be overly excited.Just do your best and read the instructions well.....Goodluck

Sosodiva:
Hi subseaman, please I urgently need your friend's contact, since he is in my country of interest and I intend to apply for this year, I would love to make some enquiries concerning the admission process and the whole thing in general. Thank u very much.

Sosodiva:
Hi, please the question I have for you is; if after being awarded the scholarship, can you change your course of study, school and country entirely?, will that affect anything? Also, is the money given to you or paid directly to the school? Thanks for your time.

Mayflowa:


Yes you can always change your course, school and country. Most people that go to US or Canada actually started off with UK admission because American schools admission process is somewhat lengthy.

As per award fund, the tuition part is paid directly to your school and the remaining part of the $30k is paid to your international account for living expenses.

Hello,

Please who is going to university of Alberta for January 2017 start under the nddc postgraduate scholarship scheme? ThanksThanks

Mayflowa:
When is NDDC paying scholars' tuition for 2016/2017 session? This is 6 months passed due.

Chigojude:


I'm sorry Mayflowa about your situation. my question -- has your batch gone to the secretariat and made any communication to them concerning the payment?

Mayflowa:

They are aware. Everyone has been complaining.

Mayflowa:
Who has been able to contact NDDC recently? Their email server keeps throwing out send mails. Or they are tired of hearing from scholars?
