Jeez!

Is like you're taking deliberate measures to misunderstand my post.

Even after pointing out clearly my point , you still want to 'believe' something else by all means.

Ciao.

if u even wana talk abt undue advantage, u shld be referring to those who had access to d questions or d sources of d questions b4 d exam. That some candidates got some ideas of d questions isn't their fault, most of d pple complaining are d ones that told them. Besides, i don't think it matters. Many pple that ddnt get any advantage will still score higher than many of those that did. In fact, there will surely be awardees from the 8 am batch who merit it.

If there shld be any complain at all, it should be based on d fact that some pple who don't merit the scholarship actually get sponsored. i'm referring to the other list and the excess that corrupts d merit list.

[b]Dear PTDF Scholarship Hopefuls,

I don't understand why everyone is saying those that wrote the exam by 11AM has undue advantage. I wrote mine in Lagos JKK Building around 12noon and I didn't see any question. No expo whatsoever... I didnt even go to the exam venue with my phone. I was confused when I read here that all those that wrote 11am have seen the questions. Someone even said they should add extra marks to the 8am batch. We know this is a competition, I did my own underground research and studied past questions.

I have some pertinent questions to ask now that we are not sure what is happening to the list...

1. In my office, if anyone is going on study leave, one must inform the management at least TWO MONTHS before the commencement of your studies. Now that we are resuming in September, I have my CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) already from UCL (University College London) and I just got an email from UCL to proceed on my BRP (Bio-metric Residence Permit). No need for ATAS Certificate for my course. I just pray they release the list as early as possible for us to know the next step.


2. About the payment of Tuition fee, someone told me PTDF will pay during induction, I need an enlightenment on this from past scholars. Is the letter of award enough for the schools to allow us attend lectures?

3. I have a friend who is a Chevening Scholar in UCL, she said accommodation is London is over 800 Pounds. I want to know how we can survive with this stipend since the stipend for London PTDF scholars is 600 Pounds. Please am not sure about these figures. I just need a clear and concise advice.

4. If we are paying for our transport fare from Lagos to Abuja for Induction, will PTDF give us Tfare to back to Lagos?

All I know is that God will crown our efforts...

Looking forward to sharing my testimonies here...

@peterayoola7, the fact you didn't see any question before you wrote yours doesn't mean that others didn't. You even said clearly that you didn't go with your phone to the venue of the exams. Others did, and some of the expos were shared here on nairaland and on different whatsapp groups after the first batch.

Moreso, no one is saying there won't be those that wrote by 8am on the successful list. The issue is that, those that wrote afterwards would score higher and hence be the majority on the final list.

We that wrote by 8am, are still hopeful. It's just that our chances of making the final list on merit might be slim.

Please stop posting anything not related to the long awaiting list. Some people are just disturbing us with unnecessary argumentative posts.

Sorry o....but this your post is not telling us anything new about the long awaiting list too. Abi am I missing something? In fact, it can open up another line of "unnecessary argumentative posts". You could have led by example by waiting till you have any cogent info to share about the long awaiting list before posting. Otherwise, let others keep this thread alive by freely expressing themselves till the list shows forth. Some need the comic relief derived from reading some characters on this thread.

Well to answer some of your questions, No school jokes with PTDF scholars, therefore an award from PTDF is enough proof for the school to allow you resume study.
About the stipend, PTDF is among the top scholarships with the highest stipends in the world. About £34k is budgeted for each OSS MSc. scholar. So the renumeration is enough for you to live above average campus life. Only problem is that payments may usually not arrive when you need them most.
I don't want post figures because am not sure.
I'd advise you go ahead and inform your work place for your plan to travel, that's if it's not going to cause problem if you don't get to go for the studies (God forbid).
All the best.

No b only you....

...that moment when your school keep sending you updates about your arrival which is due in about 16 days from now and asking you to register for courses, and all you can do is hope. You are tempted to defer till next semester but you keep hoping that those helming the affairs of PTDF understand what dilemma you are faced with as prospective scholar. It is well.

I wonder why Univ of Michigan didn't give you funding. They used to be generous. Do you have your visa already? Sometimes you get an RA from a professor when you go to school early. Did you contact those in your research interest?
