odagogo:You are right. This shows that many people in nairaland are trustworthy and connected. Keep it up. |
Liebermann:Did you get the email? |
I think you guys can start panicking if the list is not out by September. Also, PTDF will send congratulatory message to the winners first before the list is posted online. Most of the people saying the list will be out tonight just opened their account on nairaland yesterday and today. Don't mind all these people. Focus on September. |
duchess90:Yes. But the guy was imposing the other guy to do 2 years. |
Samcathe:OK. |
Samcathe:2 years is a waste of time especially in a course that does not require it. Those schools are just trying to make more money for themselves and UK government through IHS. That extra 1 year could be use to work full time through skilled work visa/health care visa/ postgraduate visa enabling you to get money and experience as fast as you can with no limits and building ILR status. Also often most people do not get internship and the school will curtail your visa to one year with no refund. Companies will underpay you doing internship and you will be serving as errand boy. This is embarrassing. Also as a fresh MSc and BSc graduate with no experience, you can also apply for Internship positions. In fact, this is how oil and gas and multinational companies recruit nowadays. It is not required to be a student. So don't be scammed. Only Nursing, Dietetics or any other health related course require 2 years. |
Youngman94:If you had half or full tuition scholarship, they might agree. Also, Masters and PhD scholarship package for UK is 1 and 3 years respectively. Masters and PhD in Canada is 2 and 5 years respectively. How will you survive and school fees is exorbitant. Stick to UK if you get the scholarship. The Canada offer isn't good enough. |
tsowems:You are welcome. Thanks for letting other people know. Some people will hoard the info because they didn't benefit. |

flowbjones:She did not gain admission because of her OND. She could have been direct. Check above and below for the main reason. |

tsowems:In some schools, professional certification and experience will give you Masters admission directly. You dont need to have any tertiary education. https://www.southwales.ac.uk/courses/msc-project-management/3040/fast-track-your-project-management-masters-degree/?story_types=high If you have ACCA, you can get Masters directly as a top-up. https://www.northampton.ac.uk/courses/accounting-and-finance-top-up-msc/ You dont need to have any tertiary qualification to do ACCA. To gain an excellent job in UK, USA and abroad, you must have experience and competence. No one cares about your MSc and PhD. Without experience, you will start from graduate trainee. Stop mocking the visa applicant with OND and you are just displaying ignorance. She deserves praise for letting people know and understand that being a registered professional is renowned. |
tsowems:They gave her admission because she is a Registered professional with Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria If you are a registered nurse and you went to the college of nursing, you will still gain Masters of Nursing admission directly. Experience matters and being certified as a registered professional shows prowess and competence . Not all these theoretical people we have in Nigeria who arent competent and are unemployable. |
Faridullah:It is Nigerians money and not for them. The money is for Nigerians. Stand up for your right and don't accept this menace. This is not the norm. Do you also know that PTDF also give foreign undergraduate scholarship in UK, USA, Malaysia, Russia e.t.c?. This opportunity is only for stakeholders. The rich helping themselves. Are scholarships meant for them after stealing our resources. That is still not enough. Only stakeholders are eligible so no announcement in the media. Merit list is only for foreign postgraduate scholarship. Later guys. I don't want to talk much so I won't be targeted for exposing things to outsiders. I just need to talk so you don't need to panic. Put your energy elsewhere. You will still meet your study if the lists comes out in September. No need to argue and abusing each other here. You all need to cooperate like those on stakeholder lists who help each other. |
Hello everyone. In the past, PTDF have even released Merit list in September and almost all scholars travelled that same September because PTDF paid for priority and superpriority visa. This happened in September 2017 so you dont need to panic. They are attending to stakeholder lists now (NYSC award winners, NNPC and DPR workers and special lists from government officials i.e senators, commissioners, house of rep, governor e.t.c). The main reason PTDF has not been scrapped is because of the stakeholder lists and not because of the poor and nobody like us who are or will be on the Merit list. Just calm down and stay focus. Look for plan B. I once stated the opportunities and some people have travelled to USA after winning full scholarship. Even 2.2 graduates are winning Canada and USA scholarship. You have no excuse. Put it the work. Overall, it is going to be fine in the end. The prayer focus should be making the list. They dont want Merit and Stakeholder lists winners to meet. Most Stakeholders lists winners are government officials children so you wont hurt them. It is well. Good luck. From PTDF Past Scholar. |
nupeman:They have started priority visa but at very low amount. |
Honestguy13577:Not compulsory. Depends on the course and it would be stated in the admission letter. If not stated, ATAS is not a requirement. PTDF will pay for tuberculosis test as well as visa, flight, living expenses and tuition fees. |
Engr2016:Thank you. God bless you too. All the best. |
Lanesra:There is enough time. PTDF can also pay for priority visa which takes only 5 working days. Ensure you have your international passport and admission letter ready. Good luck. |
BNW1:That is cool. |
misteru31:Yes you are right. It will be out this month. Go get admission letter. UK admission is very easy. Try University of Salford, Derby and Sunderland for fast admission. But those are low-class universities but accept 2.2 graduates. Also, try high competitive admission like Manchester, Imperial, Liverpool, UCL, Newscastle, UoB, Uni of Leeds e.t.c however, those places might have been filled. Accepts only 2.1 and First class |
Nnennayao:Try the University of South Wales, Ulster University Birmingham, University of Sunderland and Roehampton University. |
Ajoself:USA is very expensive for international students so PTDF stopped it. If you win, you can tender your USA offer and tell PTDF you have partial funding. You might be accepted as PTDF will save cost. All those listed UK schools have discounted tuition fees for PTDF scholars. Don't depend on PTDF. Plan another way. Don't allow the partial funding opportunity to go. You can work part time during term time and full time during the holiday. The downside of USA is that as spouse of a student, you are banned from working or studying. So your partner cant support you. This is unlike UK in which a student dependant can work and/or study full time. |
Lastbornbuns:Don't mind the guy. I notice that many Nigerians love to be spoonfed without doing the work. That is why so many of them eventually get scammed. Do you know that if they just type it in Google the answer will show immediately. e.g. "list of universities without gre in usa" . "list of universities without application fee in usa" All the answers are there. They are just lazy and don't deserve to win scholarship. It is no surprise that many people in this forum keep quiet so that lazy people won't abuse and disturb them if they urge them to put in the work. |
mhosqo:Lol. If this simple research you can't even do, how will you be able to cope when real research comes. I am very sure you will have problem with your supervisor with your attitude. You don't deserve to win this scholarship as you are very lazy and dumb. It will be better not to disgrace Nigeria. We are here to give advice and it is a privilege and not compulsory. I pity any of your freinds and family who you have authority on. Why are you so frustrated with your life? Hope you are ok. |
Solicitor2040:Don't worry about it bro. JAust pray you will be on the list. Tomorrow is July. |
Kpai1185:Lol. Try again next year. You could have gone to the centre physically to complain when interview was on. |
jlomz: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. |
This is very bad Seun. I hope some of your customers are not from USA and UK. If they are caught and they confess it is from here, your website could be sued for promoting plagiarism and falsehood. Are you sure these guys are not scam? Be warned. |
Dalek:Do you have valid work experience in IT, if yes, then try another school. That pre-Masters is useless and has no value. Schools like Ulster university Birmingham, University of Southwales , Roehampton University and University of Sunderland will give you admission with HND or BSc Third class if you have valid work experience. |
