Dreldee:

1. Original cert is not a requirement.
Transcript is required most atimes. Because
2. Transcript is optional but required after admission thus; during documentation and your school will have to send it to them not you.
3. I suggest you take ur shots.
I hope this helps?
Transcripts optional? I think you mean "official" transcripts are optional before admission but required afterwards. Some schools accept student's copy of transcripts for admission.

Good morning prospects, so I wanted to ask a question,

I got tempted to run through the list of successful candidates for 2020/2021 PTDF scholars after seeing the profiles of a few on LinkedIn, I was surprised to see like two (2) awardees having their Post Graduate study in the US although they were awarded MSc scholarship for GFM and the other UK; although I haven't chatted them up yet on LinkedIn, I began wondering if it was possible to switch to a country outside the PTDF specified countries of choice.

Well I just thought to ask sha and drop my 2 cents, I wish us all the best.

Since you mentioned that they were for the 2020/2021 session, I guess those candidates got better offers in the US admissions. Don't forget US schools usually offer full funding for PhDs and some select MSc programs. Many candidates competing for PTDF are equally trying other scholarship options in the US, Canada etc. In such cases, the candidates will most likely opt for the US school rather than the UK's.

Hello, can one apply to a UK University which is not on the list of universities recommended by PTDF and still use PTDF scholarship to fund it?

I searched through the list and found out that it is only Nottingham Uni that is enlisted for PhD. Finance.

Please, i need a good response. Thanks

What now happens to their awards from PTDF, the funding and all?

Do they forfeit their slot or PTDF gives it to somebody else?

Because I spotted one of them still adding it that she was a PTDF awardee/scholar, which is making me ask if they switched their funding to US

You have not even won scholarship and you are talking about USA. Why are you panicking?

Just pray you win PTDF. Different people have different cases.

Probably they are already studying in the USA with free tuition scholarship. They only applied for scholarship for living expenses.

That is why PTDF usually ask if you need partial scholarship. This was advertised that year.

See Just wait till July for PTDF outcome and stop digging people out.

Once your name is on the list, you are a PTDF scholar - even if you decide to reject the scholarship

Lol. Try again next year.

Okay, but does the slot move to another person or it gets wasted?
Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Engr2016: 7:35am On Jun 29, 2022
I think it may depend on the scenario. For instance, the scholar may be given partial funding as indicated by some experienced people here. Otherwise, the slot might be transferred to the next candidate in the ranking.

My brother, whether they will substitute another person or not, should not be your problem.

Just pray to get shortlisted, that is all.

it means more money to the awardee. The awardee takes the partial scholarship ( living expenses) and move on since his tuition fees is already sorted by the other scholarship award he had before the PTDF list comes out.

Please , let's not discourage anyone asking questions as pertinent answers may be helpful for others too . Nevertheless, I have this question too. Is it true that despite the minimum O-level requirements being the 5 credits (including Maths and English listed on the PTDF website), during actual grading, once the candidate meets this aforementioned requirements, the highest grades in all related subjects would be picked irrespective of Maths and English?

Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by ExpertNLer: 3:40pm On Jun 29, 2022
It is highest subjects INCLUDING maths and English
Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by ExpertNLer: 3:40pm On Jun 29, 2022
No they use maths + english + 3 highest subjects

They use maths and english + 3 relevant subjects( chemistry, physics, and biology or agric for engineering candidates). so, getting A1s in non-science subjects is redundant.

No! I was referring to the experienced (current or former) PTDF scholar's explanation on the candidates who are already studying as PhD students elsewhere in US/Europe before getting PTDF scholarship. These categories are the ones they were likely referring to as being offered partial scholarships since they must have already gotten some form of funding elsewhere already.

I think some universities make further mathematics compulsory for admission.
without further mathematics, you would not be able to perform well in engineering undergraduate studies.

Which one is Further Mathematics again? Someone that has already pass through Engineering School does not need any Further Mathematics again for admission. I think it will be inconsequential.
