hamzacs: Hello guys! I'm by name Hamza Hussaini. I'm a UK PhD scholar of PTDF. I was lucky to be among the successful applicants of last year. I went through all your posts and want to contribute on some few issues as; ✓ I want to make it clear that PTDF scholarship is merit based, even though it is highly competitive. Don't allow anyone to deceive you that the scholarship is for people with connections. I got the scholarship without knowing even the councillor of my ward. Try your best and pray hard. ✓ I have seen some applicants worrying themselves on the issues of publications and membership certifications at the moment, that they are on the process of acquiring such documents but couldn't make it before the deadline for the application. Please don't worry yourselves so long you can get them before the time for interview. They will allow those shortlisted full access to their portal so that they can update their portal about two weeks to interview time. PTDF interview panel members always grade applicants base on what they presented during interview not what was uploaded during application. ✓ The issue of change of course after been successful is not always possible. I was a victim of this. Have changed my course and PTDF denied me proof of funding for that. I had to go back and reapply for admission in different school. I wasted more than four months on this issue. ✓ The most important documents for the interview include: * Research proposal/statement of purpose * Class of degree/masters * O'level * Membership certificate * Publications (even though this was not considered during last year's interview). The last but most important thing is prayers. Finally, my advice for you people is to keep on updating your research proposal/SoP before interview and make it part of you. Wish you good luck.
Thanks so much sir for this rich contribution. 1 Like |

What has the trend been like in past years? Refer to 2022/2023 thread. Is one of the best PTDF scholarship thread so far. A lot have been discussed extensively. This current one also we are doing good. The only thing is most of the aspirants here has prior experience of ptdf processes. And what trigger flow of comments is when email start dropping which we all wait for. 1 Like |
