Nice one!
But next time, the FG should include a state in the south-east and south-south region. We have unemployed graduates and youths there too!...and we are still talking about one Nigeria or aren't we?

GabbyKelly:
Please is there anybody who applied to Ashesi University or KNUST

I'm sure about that. Did you applied or are you still planning to apply?
Anyways, feel free to check out the links on my last message for any information you'd need about any of the partner university. Good luck!..

Sorry for the delayed response chaiks and asadiaboymma I'm not so sure about how the graduate application works but I think it depends on the school you are applying to. I'm also certain that not all the partner universities are open for graduate applications for the scholarship...
So I will advise you guys to check out these links www.mastercardfdnscholars.org/becoming-a-scholar
www.mastercard.org/the-mastercard-foundation-scholars-program
Check out the different partner (from the above links), ransack their sites, email them (if you should), so as to get all the necessary information you need!..
Hope this helps. I will be around to help in any way I can. Do have a great day!...

I am from Malawi. I got a place at MSU this year but unfortunately never got shortlisted for finalist interviews. I am planning to reapply this year. Does anyone know if reapplying may increase my chances of getting accepted? Will I be required to also reapply for admission?

for you chances of being accepted if you reapply, I don't think it'll be increased as you'll stand equal chance as every other person that will apply or reapply. But one thing is certain, you can still build a stronger application and fire back and who knows this time, you will be accepted. Wish you luck bro!

OddJimms:
They were all buzzing on here before they got the scholarship, now they have it; they acting like theyve been the flamest, They are as calm as Montreal's weather. Fuckboys..
Some who didn't get it gave up on their quest in achieving a university degree..... Fuckboys as well.

Let's be each others company, this is an interactive trend not an Ego-trend!!!
I love you all, Peace and Love

chill bro! You shouldn't sound like that. Look, I really appreciate our efforts helping each other but we shouldn't insult or blame others especially the scholars for not being here to help out, or for our misfortune. The scholars are not here simply because they are busy, how on earth do you expect them to be here if the carry the burden of whole Africa on their shoulders waiting for manifestation. Think of their studies too!
I also believe that with or without the MCFS program, you can be whatever you wanna be and make impacts if only you're determined to.

bolebole:
I got the scholarship. Good luck to you guys!

congrats bro! I'm so so happy for you!...
I just sent you an email, please reply asap... I have somethings very important to discuss with you.... Congrats once more!...

bimbaztryzzi:
Happy birthday bro

Thank you!...

I can see that everyone here is warming up for what is to come!... In no distant time we're to receive good news here! Hope you guys are ready!!!...
I wish you guys luck!... As wish myself a blissful birthday!...

Blurq do these schools require any tests like sat or toefl for admission or the scholarship application

OddJimms:
Man. With all due respect Stop typing "CONGRATES", it's "congrats". Lol. S/o to u tho

lol... Okay sorry dear!... Didn't realise it and I've being making the same mistake over and over again.... Lol... Thanks for the correction, I really really appreciate...

In not up to a month from now, good news is gon' be share round this trend... Hope you guys are ready to be called the new MasterCard scholars??...
That title takes a great deal to get and with great powers come great responsibility!...
Goodluck and Congrates In Advance!!!....

Congrates to all those that got admitted!!! I'm really happy for you guys!!!...
You guys are already there!!!... I'm pretty sure of that because it's noticable that McGill didn't give out much admissions to Africans this year,.. Meaning if you scared through the admission processes and got admitted, then you are competing with just few persons for the scholarship!!!...
So you see!.., you don't really have to panic, you just have to keep hoping and praying to God, for He and He alone is all you've got!!!...
Congrates once more and goodluck!!!....

Mbus:
For Chemical Engineering guys

chemical engineering?!!.... Wowooo.... A very huge congrates from me to you!!.... Thats a great and very competitive course at that! Please share your stats with us, your waec, and other exams you took, please! We need to know:..
Congrates once more!!!....

DannyGlover:
Naah....I am Ethiopian. Yeah. I took national examination, and It was good.

also what major were you accepted to at MSU

DannyGlover:
Naah....I am Ethiopian. Yeah. I took national examination, and It was good.

Did you take TOEFL for University of Berkeley application?

DannyGlover:
Naah....I am Ethiopian. Yeah. I took national examination, and It was good.

okay! Goodluck
.
To all those admitted and those expecting decisions: Don't worry guys!.. You are already there!...

@Mbus what major were you given at McGill

DannyGlover:
Sorry though.....What's waec?

waec is am acronym for West Africa Examination Council. They conduct exams for Secondary/high school leavers in West Africa....
Or aren't you a West african?... if you are not, then did you take any O or A-level exams like GCE or its likes, how good is your result?

Mbus:
Humble greetings to all... I come seeking advice. I was recently admitted to McGill and want to know - what are the chances of getting the scholarship after admission, if anyone knows ? Thanks a lot.

wow.... Great news.... When did you get the admission notification?...maybe you can tell us how your waec looks like...
.
For your question, the mastercard selection process is holistic in nature, meaning it considers alot of things including your academic standard, financial status, current or previous leadership and community oriented initiatives (like the one you wrote on your application form), your referee's statements, your commitment to giving back to Africa and every other things they can get their hands on. So considering all this factors as will be accessed from your submitted documents, you will be evaluated for the scholarship,..
But since you've being admitted, that means you're almost there! So keep hoping and praying!...

DannyGlover:
@blisylvester Thanks. Well, my stats are pretty low. I have like 1860 on SAT, and 600-700 on Subject Tests.

thats great! How about your waec?...

DannyGlover:
Sup Everbody,

Just signed up for this forum. I applied to McGill, MSU and Berkeley. I got rejected from McGill few days ago, and accepted to MSU. I am one of the finalists at Berkeley, and am gone have an interview this week. Can anyone give tips for the interview, or post the questions that might be asked on the interview?

wow!!!.... Thats great news then! Congrate!!....
Maybe, you should tell us what your waec and other exams like SAT, TOEFL look like...
.
For the interview?... I don't know but I think @chrisviral should have idea of it
Congrates once more...
