geobukky:
thought I should fine tune the statement. Its not a U.K. Or Canadian scholarship, its foreign. I've friends heading Australia India South Africa New Zealand Ireland Spain. The important thing is that its outside Nigeria and bear in mind that the scholarship has a cap ..... the excess is on personal funds

pls @geobukky...what's the total fund received? and the cap amount out of it? cos i plan applying for the nddc 2017 also...let me know which school to focus on based on fees

Plz I got admission from the University of Aberdeen last 2 years and I have been deferring it. I can still use it to apply for the ptdf scholarship?

if Aberdeen is among the accepted UK schools, then you are good to go

Pls can we revive this thread for 2017/2018 chevening scholarship. Here is shout out to those that applied to come and share information

I think the thread is active....it's assessment period so we are all waiting till February 2017..in the meantime you can start contacting your referees to draft the letters.

As at last year, I applied for my dream course in BEA.. But since stipendium hungaricum guys didn't identify the course, I ported to the nearest similar course in the same faculty... University of pecs.. I got nominated in the first stage.. But couldn't make it through the last not as a result of that though ... While I was at the interview centre in fstc awka I asked BEA People if there was any problem in the two different courses I applied for they said no.

thanks a lot bro...I ll apply for my desired course then.

Daboywizzy:
I d like you to understand that the stipendium hungaricium scholarship do partner with Federal scholarship board (fsb) abuja under the bilateral education agreement (BEA) so you d be invited to apply for Bea.. Next year ..write their scholarship exam in your geo political zone.. And then wait for nomination by the Federal ministry of education..

Its a process though.. Registration link is not yet out.. You are expected to get your documents ready ... Europass CV, transcript, motivational letter etc

OK..thanks for the info....I have the reqs ready, tried the BEA last year but couldn't attend the interview due to illness. what about the course aspect? does FSB specify courses or do they leave it open...cos for the BEA, my desired course was among the list

Also ...is this scholarship under the same package as the BEA awards that opens sometime in February? cos under the contact details for nominating agencies the lady in charge for Nigeria had an email address with (FSB) embedded

I'm interested!! have also gone through the scholarship details...I have two questions for now, the course I intend to study for masters isn't exactly on the list, I want to take the gamble and apply....is it a favourable risk? also I didn't see any link to start the online application part? pls reply with the online application link. thank you

Congrats biddie13 .... sorry for misunderstanding you. I'm optimistic you'll get the award

zionmade:
Add France

pete26:
Please guys, are canadian uni accepted by ptdf? I need ans please

No, only USA, Brazil, Germany, UK and Australia

I feel that guy/girl is lying. At least one more person would have confirmed receipt of the nomination text. can you screenshot to show us proof?

aphrodisiac:
For those that know people who got the scholarship last year, does ptdf look for admission for those that passed the exams but do not have admission yet?

bro....you have to look for admission by yourself, for yourself!! PTDF no be educational service agent

I would love to share my experience.

I actually participated in the commonwealth interview in which I fared well but I eventually got the regret mail.

For you to be accredited, you must have the following

1.Your Original degree (M. Sc) applicants and both Original degree and M. Sc degree (PhD) applicants.
2.Academic transcript
3.Medical certificate of fitness from a federal teaching hospital or state hospital
4.Original O'level result be it NECO Or Waec
5.EAS print outs ( 4 copies)
6.N.Y.S.C discharge certificate
7.State of Origin Certificate
8.Admission letter from any U. K University.

Out of these 8, if you can't present 4 or 5,you won't be accredited which implies that you won't be interviewed.

Last year interview was tedious and unorganized. Present yourself at the accreditation Centre very early and write your name before you will be given a tag with a number which will determine when you will be interviewed.

The interview will take play at Nanets Suites. Please endeavor to write your name as that will determine when you will face a panel of 3 professors.
You will be asked questions as follows but it doesn't follow any pattern.
1.describe yourself or can we meet you?.
2.Where do you hail from?
3.What's your course of study and what did you graduate with
4.What's your research topic and how will it develop Nigeria

You should be up to date with political, socio-economic and religious happening in Nigeria
You should be able to say one or two things about Commonwealth ie date of creation member countries etc.
You should know names of political figure head in Nigeria ie full names of Mr President, V.P ,governors etc
You should know states and capital etc.


I actually fared well in the interview last year but I had some shortcomings
1.I didn't go with my academic transcript
2.I didn't have an offer of admission from any U. K University
3.I didn't go with evidence of publication and awards.
Mehn, all the supervisors gave me Zero in those columns.

To be honest with you guys, If you have all these intact, your chances is high as you would have to fight off other candidates from your state. I reiterate that If you have a First class you are sports on. I am saying these based on personal experience. Three of the guys I became friends with who were first class graduates got the scholarship.

I noticed some anomalies in the whole process. There was corruption on a grand scale as supervisors were seen collecting telephone numbers of aspirants. But I don't take excuses for my failures. Yeah I was denied a first class in my university days but I won't let that deter me from achieving my goals and aspirations in life.

I couldn't apply this year because I am yet to get a copy of my transcripts and I am yet to be offered an admission into a U. K University. I am yet to publish my work in a journal. Hopefully I will apply next year when I have these in place. There are no mistakes in life but lessons.
My friends got the commonwealth based on merit and the GRACE OF GOD.

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THIS YEAR'S COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEW.
I PRAY THAT THE MERCY, GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

This is inspirational bro, God will perfect stuff for you in due course, thanks for sharing
