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.

I don't mind deferment, if given the scholarship opportunity.

Lol but anything can happen because there might be a new ruling party and government next year.
That was one scholarship that was cancelled in the past when a new government came in.

Tingotoe:
You have 2 years to get admitted into a foreign university so you're covered until 2024

Hi Tingotoe
Was it stated during the orientation exercise? Otherwise, how did you know about this please?

Well, may GOD forbit that o. Anyway, my advice to anyone who wants to defer the admission after winning the scholarship, please target January 2023. Deferring your admission to anything more than 6 months is not an ideal or a wise approach even if the current PTDF management permits it. Remember, rules, regulations, policy and even the government itself might change later.

Nice one

I think that happened in NITDA not PTDF sir. And if I could remember the scholarship exams were conducted under same government, it was the DG of the agency that was charged and he decided to cancel the scholarship for that year. I was the victim of that. The change of the DG was announced on the very day I had my exams.

He might be referring to the Presidential Special Scholarship for Innovation and Development (PRESSID) which was cancelled when the new administration came in 2015

Yes you are right about NITDA. It also happened for PRESSID too.
Sorry about NITDA bro. I can't just imagine that feeling.

That's why in all that we do, let's not forget the importance of prayer too.

I hope you know that PTDF can change the country a person chose. You can choose Germany and when the scholarship is out they will change it to France or Malaysia. PTDF does that all the time. So Imagine paying application fee of €100 and ending up getting a different country. To my understanding it is far better one wait for the shortlist, especially if you are for FGM.

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

Google.

Are you good at solving mathematics problem so well? Have you been looking for how to make some dollars online as a mathematics tutor? Search no more. I will expose you to an online platform based in America that accept Nigerian tutors online and pay them in dollars straight to their bank account( All you need is just your cell phone and strong internet connection). You can make at least $500 per month (around 250000 naira) if you follow my steps. If you are interested send me a DM on WhatsApp 07031912193. ( Strictly for Maths tutor please).

Is this synonymous to FGM only?

You can email the school to give you a waiver on the application fee, tell them you're a potential ptdf candidate and awaiting their response

I haven’t seen anyone choosing UK and ending up getting FGM.
But I have seen many FGM scholars that got their second or third choice after shortlisting.

If that would work I guess it is fine.

What about application for PhD in the UK? What's the procedure?

I have seen it happen. PTDF reserves the right to allocate you either UK or FGM depending on how things work out in your state. If for example you did very well but not well enough for UK, but you surpassed all the FGM applicants, they can move you to FGM. Happened to my mentee.

Make dem no confuse us for this thread like this oooooO, first they said competition is between candidates from same states and also country of choice, more like one is only competing against those from his state and the country he/she choosed.

Even PTDF said you cannot choose UK and switch to FGM, but you have the option of turnionown around FGM (maybe dem no too rate FGM), now the comrade is saying reason his mentee ended in FGM is because he outperformed those that choosed FGM (like PTDF shared the result sheet with the successful candidates?), maybe previous or current scholars can help us confirm.

I can understand if maybe his mentee secured the scholarship on choice UK, but found a way of switching to FGM after getting the award, but that he outperformed those that choosed FGM and PTDF switched it for him? That invalidates the earlier assertions made then.

My only question sef that I'm curious about is, why are some Nigerians that have already secured MSc abroad coming to jostle for PTDF scholarship for MSc category again?

I wish us all the best honestly, it's just God's mercy and grace, because when you check people you're competing against, people that have lived their lives abroad sef or even secured First Degree abroad still also return to hustle it with you that have not neared Airport before, but God will help all of us!

Because when he got award letter at PTDF towers he went to complain to them that he didn't chose FGM in his application - that's when they told him PTDF reserves the right to give you any one and explained it to him

That means nothing like advantage for choosing whichever country then, we're all competing with the over 150 candidates from our respective states with PTDF solely with the right to award to whichever country they deem fit.

All the best comrades, be like na to go sabbatical till when list come out with my name for inside
