Please I have a question, I applied for PTDF scholarship and I have gotten a conditional offer to study September but I have to pay minimum deposit by June 30 and I know by then the award may not be given yet. I’m planing to pay the deposit to secure my admission, is this a good move ? And will I be refunded if I get the scholarship and PTDF funds the bill.
My second question is that someone should please recommend a membership that I can obtain before the interview for the scholarship.
