Well in all, God will only always glory his name. We need to understand in life that we are saved and blessed ONLY by grace, and NEVER by our own self righteousness or vain efforts. If God hadn't willed it, we wouldn't have seen it manifest!

Personally I still don't want to believe that this blessing happened by luck or chance or our qualifications... That way we would be conscious of always returning the glory to whom it's due.

Exxa, you have been quite helpful in this thread, very helpful. God has indeed just started greater things for u. Kindly always ignore negative comments or perceptions of you, they don't matter at all in you becoming who you want to be. Just be sure that you are not weary in doing good; it pays.


I wish I applied for the UK scheme though; I would have preferred UK for personal reasons, but I'm grateful God gave me France instead.

I tell you, it was hurtful especially since everything I said was coming from a place of love. My biggest joy is that God has vindicated me.
Some people even discredited my qualifications because I was honest enough to say I had no publications, others made me subject of mockery insinuating that free school in China is better than mine but what they didn't know is that I graduated from UCL.


But I was deeply convinced in my heart that there was hope for me so I waited patiently and I PRAYED.

Even about list been released yesterday, they still called me out and mocked me in the process.

Here are some facts for those wondering what might have happened:


People that applied to both schemes had better chances but since the FGC list was compiled first, those who made it were automatically disqualified for the UK scheme. They now have to consider those that didn't make it for the UK scheme hence the delay in the release of the list.

Some people were contacted because the schools needed them to do one or two things.

About induction, things have changed since my time. As soon as I have confirmed info I will let you guys know, PTDF will also contact you with detailed information before time.
People asking why it is 5days; you will be doing a lot of things in those 5 days dont worry
(from lectures on what is expected of you and what you should expect in the country youll be going to, to signing of bonds if any, to getting your award letter), just endeavour to come with all your documents including your international passport.

I didn't get a mail and I made the list.

scarplanet:


Same here. So how do you think is the best way to proceed?

boay:
Congratulations to you all. My name is not on the list. I wish you God's best in your endeavors.

An applicant: Mac-Anthony Ezennia Nnorom appear on both UK and FGC list.

tyakson99:
congratulations to all shortlisted scholars. those going to China am sure apart from doing the country proud academically, some of you will also explore business opportunities � � �.

remember Google Translator will be handy during your early stay.

tyakson99:

no one can tell for now cause it seems this will be the first time Ptdf will be sending guys to China. but am sure what ever they give should be very OK. they take into account the cost of living index of where you will go in deciding your stipend. a friend of mine who went to US told me his stipend is about 1300 dollars equivalent to about 1000 pounds. so you can see it not so far off from the stipends of those in UK.

if you do a rough check on China u will discover you need close to that amount to live comfortably there, I.e, about 8000 RMB which is about 1000 pounds.

No one is talking about this?

If I didn't respond, it means I didn't see ur message or I intentionally overlooked it.

Besides there is no harm asking your questions on this platform just like everyone has been doing; there's no point sending an Email for a question I most likely wouldn't have answers to. At least asking here would give you a broader range of answers and opinions.

Nevertheless, congrats bro. We'll meet in Abuja by God's grace

tyakson99:


well even if you did, as long as u made the fgc list, your name won't appear on the UK list. same thing applies to me. let just hope Ptdf will be flexible like last year and 2 years back. maybe we could change

JimloveTM:


Has Lyon emailed you? A beneficiary of Ptdf msc for Grenoble yesterday told me he has obtained his admission letter. What's the way forward with Lyon? Make person no go reach there dem com say list never reach them

Go for your job...differ your award till next year and apply for study leave after one year.

The only problem I see with that is not knowing whether you'll be granted study leave just after a year of working.

Weigh your options carefully and pray for guidance...Congrats.

ExxA:


Thank you!!!!!! Finally, someone saying exactly what I was trying to pass across but instead they said I was bragging. I had very similar experience during my interview which is why I believe people that haven't been contacted shouldn't despair.

If everything goes well, THE LIST WILL BE OUT ON TUESDAY!!!!

In the meantime, see below the correct template for PhD applicants. This was used for the UK interview and I can't say if the same was used for FGC..

We can all score ourselves while we wait lol and hopefully find out where we might have bn weak.

Best of luck y'all!!!
