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.

Hello

This is your opinion

It doesn't apply in all cases

Everyone's idea and career/study path is different

Cheers
Yes. But the guy was imposing the other guy to do 2 years.

I love that part where you said in a course that doesn't require it. Second year in most schools is for placement. And securing a placement in a reputed company can land you a tier 2 visa if you are lucky.

A school like Teeside that he's intending to go also allows students to pay in installments for 2 years. So, this could be a good bargain for someone with limited budget. So, it all depends on individuals plan
OK.

Well, you have a point. But I think 2 years is better in the long run. I wish you the best
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.

Please friend I want to ask a question. I just joined the PTDF conversation. I have a admission from Canadian University and I have some assistantship support but I have to pay tuition fee. If I'm among the winner list of PTDF, can I present such admission to PTDF knowing fully well that Canadian Universities are not among those Universities where PTDF ask us to seek admission
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.

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.

If you are a registered nurse and you went to the college of nursing, you will still gain Masters of Nursing admission directly.

Your on point bro. Especially this year that Nigeria is having serious Economic Challenges. Honestly I totally don’t mind them having a separate list beside they are the contributors of the fund which PTDF uses. Without them NO PTDF SCHOLARSHIP. Let’s just be a little bit more patient please. It will be over sooooonnnn.
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.
EducationRe: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by babey543: 11:17am On Aug 05, 2022
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.

Last I heard Priority visa option is not available anymore for Tier 4 visas, so you'll need about 3 weeks or more from submission date to get your visa.

And ATAS certificate I guess.
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.

Will the rest of the days in July after the list is released, and August be enough to obtain a Visa ahead of september resumption for UK schools?
There is enough time. PTDF can also pay for priority visa which takes only 5 working days.

I spoke with one of the PTDF staff today who told me that the list of selected scholars would most likely be out next week or highest upper week. So let’s just keep praying to be among the list,
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

Please I need help, intially before I joined this platform, I was making use of the agent, I have applied for a direct master's through them in public health with my HND certificate, for direct master's in public health. Since January this year, information reaching me now is that UK schools don't accept HND for direct master's again, mostly Sheffield hallam university. Which is my main target.

Please I want to know if there is another school I can get with my HND for direct master's in public health for January batch 2023.

Help me please.
Try the University of South Wales, Ulster University Birmingham, University of Sunderland and Roehampton University.

I got admission and a partial funding in the US. Peradventure I won the PTDF scholarship (God's willing) before visa interview, can I include it as proof of funds?
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.

Ha! Nawa o!! This insult is unnecessary please. She did no wrong by referring you to Google. How do you expect her to know all the US and Canadian universities that waive app fee, GRE and English tests? Even if she knows them all, where do you think she got the list from? Is it not the same Google she's directing you to? Do you expect her to do the research, write down the schools for you and post them here??
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.

Does that mean each country will have just more than 50, not even up to 100 scholars?

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.

Hello all.

I have an HND but i applied for a MSc Information Technology from RGU, but was advised to go through their premasters programme at ICRGU for 10 weeks, afterwards if i pass that, they'll automatically enroll me for the master programme.

I applied for the premasters yesterday and got a conditional offer today.

I don't know whether to accept yet because the fees for the premasters alone is 7500.

But what do you guy think about this pathway.

n.b Visa will cover from the start of premasters to the end of the masters.
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.
