Thebola:
I’d advise you start learning German to increase your chances and options for scholarships.

thank you very much sir. I have, but not consistently because of school engagements. But I promise I am trying.

Hannania:
The bond for PTDF is just on paper. The whole idea is to have "skilled" Nigerians through the scholarship scheme. Scholars actually have liberty to stay.

Germany has the cheapest education in comparison to countries like USA, UK, Australia and Canada. There's no tuition in public schools (which are the best), and the semester fee been charged averages €300. Some schools like DIT presently have €72 as the semester fee. For this reason, scholarships are not readily available.

There's a German government scholarship called Deutschlandstipendum , it's €300/m of which some people use it to apply for CAT A and lower the block account fee.

DAAD is the best option you have. Another option is to look at schools that have your course of interest then scout for scholarships peculiar to only that school or the course. That's the best way to see higher chances.

PS: Considering the low cost of education, you'll most certainly find zero to negligible scholarships that cover flight

thank you very much sir.

Hannania:
Sorry, Nairaland interaction only

ok sir.
I am a university finalist, by God's grace.
The way this country is right now, travelling out is the only thing that keeps me motivated to study.
Please I want to know if there are fully funded German scholarships (masters) Nigerians can benefit from, that also covers some other expenses like travel cost and maybe housing.
I know of ptdf (Nigerian) but I heard they only allow their scholars to stay back, if they get an actual (full-time) job in the country at the end of their program. I know getting a job is not impossible, but it's not really certain one would.
I know DAAD is nice too, but it requires at least two years of working experience, that I don't have.

Hannania:
German schools are very critical about deadlines. So prepare your mind that they might not give you another chance.

I see that you've sent them an email. Send them a reminder today and every 3 days until they answer you. When they do, I can advise you based on their response

Senior, please I sent you a PM sir.

hi, do you have 4xl's battery?

yes, there are... FSB, NAE, PTDF amongst others I don't know of.

advanceDNA:
U can do extra course as long u the department u are borrowing from approves it through your course adviser...it will become updated on your profile... ....

Sometimes they don't approve if they feel it will be too much pressure,

ok

advanceDNA:
Sigh!! the effect of getting A in a 4 unit course is 20 while the effect of A on a 2 unit course is 10.....u should have gotten my point without any further explanation naaa....

Let's assume his total points from 100 level to 300level is 205 and total course unit he has done is 50, which g@ave him the 4.1 i.e 205/50

Let's paint two students scenarios in the final year(first semester) of 7 course with 2 units each...

1) An A(5) in all 7 course will give this student a total points of 5x2units x 7 courses=70 points
GPA for this semester = 70÷(2x7)= 5.0

Therefore CPGA= ( 205+70 ) ÷ (50+14)= 4.29


2) this student decided to borrow 3 extra courses from another department that carries 4 units each to add to the 7 courses above....
Making total unit course= (7x2) + (4x3)= 26 total units in the semester

So assuming he gets A (5) in all 10 courses.....
This student will also have (5x2 units x 7 courses + 5x4units x 3 extra courses)= 130 points
total of GPA of the semester will also 5.0 since it's all A grade
While CGPA = (205 + 130)÷ (26 + 50) = 4.40....

Which was why I said it depends on the units he has left and the units he can hustle

Right, but how can you borrow courses from other department?Never heard of that. All the courses you 'can' register are already on your portal, how are you going to bring in some more?

advanceDNA:
...instead make u say u no understand....u jump on my mentions dey expose urself....where in .y comment did i say his GP would exceed 5.0....

U think 2 unit courses and 4 unit courses have the same effect..... Guy I nor get time argue with you

ok, I no understand. Tell me how increasing the units of the courses he offers is going to increase his CGPA.

advanceDNA:
Do the calculation yourself.....

U know the course left and their units .....use A(5) to calculate ur estimated CGPA becos A has to be your target

If it doesnt add up to 4.5 ..go and borrow course with high Unit from another depart related to urs that u can pass well...as long as u don't exceed your total number of units per semester....

the bolded is funny. Nothing can make that happen, even if he registers 200 more course, a semester's gpa does not exceed 5.0, hence not possible.

five previous semesters cgpa = 4.1

desired final cgpa =>4.5

if your school carries your IT result over to 400l first semester,

let x be the cgpa you'll need to achieve that(4.5).

then ((4.1*5)+(x*2))/7 = 4.5.
=> 20.5 + 2x = 31.5
=> 2x = 31.5 - 20.5
=> 2x = 11
=> x = 5.5.
This means you'll need a CGPA of 5.5 in the remaining 2 semesters to be able to graduate with 4.5 overall CGPA. which is not possible because your grade is capped at 5.0.
Making a 5.0 in the remaining semesters can get you 4.35 highest.

Na me go marry this geh. No need to change name

thought he said he didn't fall

I hope this will apply to post graduate schools too.

PeterObi4LP:
I have spent 3/4 of this already for a 2yrs study (Ph.D), I still have 9 months to graduate. I work while studying too. The amount worth it and guarantee you a job after study.

Me come back to Nigeria to do wetin? I can't come back unless my constituency single handedly ask me to come represent them at HoR or Senate.

Good day sir, please, I sent you a PM. I want to make some enquiries please!

I am not bothered with my course mates calling me by my name, but you see that "how far?", if you want make we get problem, ask me "how far". I greet good morning, afternoon, evening, despite the fact that I am older than most of them. So I expect same.

So that more money will be entering your pocket abi, I get it.
