The final successful list can not take longer than July to be out , many candidates have already gotten admissions already for September 2022.

Since the interviews came late.

Still speculation.

Whether the list comes out in August or September,there's nothing we can do but wait. The helper(ptdf) can do as it pleases and nothing will happen.

I understand this is probably the most anticipated thing right now for some of us, but it's pointless worrying.

Pray and wait. What will be, will be.

I personally don't see the logic in saying you want a partial scholarship.

There is actually in logic in it.
For instance, the university i got admission to, I got partial scholarship from them too. If I tell PTDF to make theirs partial, it is a win:win for all party.

A colleague from a scholarship group was previously rejected cos if limited space. Another colleague in that same group won same scholarship but rejected her own scholarship from same body. A review and an upgraded was done, and this guys was given the scholarship.
The Lady won Commonwealth’s shared Scholarship.

There are lot of opportunities apart from PTDF.

Check the conditions for the scholarship you got from that school. it's most likely stated that it's only for self funded applicants and not for those already on a scholarship. I am yet to see PTDF offer a scholarship on the basis of it being partially funded. And how will they make such a decision when they don't know the overall cost of your programme compared to others. Even with a scholarship it might still be more expensive.

PhD students do get partial scholarship from PTDF but it's very uncommon! If you already have a PhD scholarship in which tuition is waived with little or no stipend, you can request for partial scholarship from PTDF to increase ur chance of being awarded. The partial scholarship often covers only cost of living. I Know one scholar with partial scholarship from PTDF doing PhD in the USA.

I know a scholar with partial scholarship currently in UK. He wrote to PTDF and he got it.

Was it part of the normal application process we're applying for now?

I'm just trying to understand the whole situation. If partial scholarships are normal then I guess the question was completely innocuous.

in 2016.

Dreldee:

in 2016, the USA, Canada and Australia were among the accepted countries then, but Australia was later dropped coz of their expensive tution fees! I Know scholars that went to the USA, Canada and Australia in 2016.

Hahaha..my brother no go kee me with grammar inside this platform o..abeg take am jeje o..no vex.

KoolK:

one of the recent aims of PTDF is minimized cost , so they intended asking guys who have longer work experience or with excellent academic records who they believed they could get some scholarship in form of fees paying and PTDF could give them some funds.

if u check PTDF website, the new focus is there of cost reduction.

gozmoc8167:
Dmainman, please does ptdf accept COREN registration as membership of professional body?

Yes.
Any recognised membership with designated membership number.

babey543:


There are many USA and Canada universities that no longer require application fee especially now that UK introduced Post study visa.

Many schools now waive GRE.

Many USA and Canada universities
now waive English for Nigerians. Some require WAEC or English Proficiency letter.

You just need to Google.

So many Nigerians are winning it. Try and change your network to get info.

This is where your First Class, strong 2.1 and publications stand out unlike PTDF which is pure luck.

Please kindly point me in the right direction. I would also like to explore other avenues. Thank you

You guys seem to be privy to insider information. Have you heard anything about the timeline for the awardee list?

PTDF does not have a set timeline they follow. It varies every year, thus, they are not predictable.

I remember vividly that it was on June 14th that our names came out. Last year, I think it was in July.

With June almost gone or with the interviews just concluded, it's obvious that the list won't come out this month and we can all hope for July. They are most people here who are connected and have contact of some workers or decision makers in the Tower. So they can know the expected date of release of the list.

definitely it can not pass July. meanwhile try to get your admissions down . to avoid delay.

Last year it came out in August because of covid. Otherwise it's usually June or July. Let's hope that pattern continues. I was hoping you knew someone who could illuminate about when to expect this years list.

I already have my CAS ready. If I don't leave this September it definitely won't be due to sloppiness on my part.

Sent a mail to the school and got this as a response

CC: youngelder, mrphysics

The koko is to get the award first. U can reapply for the admission again from that November.

Actually, I didn't have any insider information regarding such a timeline. All I know is that it takes PTDF 5 to 6 weeks after interview to publish the list of successful applicants.

Oh.. Nice one bro.

I guess we should get the scholarship first then...

If it takes PTDF 5 to 6 weeks to release list, Then how much time will admission process now take expecially UK APPLICANTS.

I mentioned it when I opened this thread that everyone should try and get admission upfront to avoid deferment to next year.

Some people here don't even have international passport which is essential for admission and other scholarship opportunities.

PTDF won't secure admission for you.

However, visa, flight and living expenses will be actioned by PTDF.
