VITAL INFORMATION TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND NON EU/UK STATUS WORKERS IN THE UK FROM THE DMAINMAN

A. FREE EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE FOR 2-YEAR-OLDS

Before non-UK citizens and students have no access to childcare for 2-year-olds. Now, if your immigration status says you have ‘no recourse to public funds’, you may still get free childcare for your 2-year-old. You must live in England.

https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs/free-childcare-2-year-olds

B. GLOBAL TALENT VISA

If you are an intelligent student, brilliant worker and leader with astounding prizes, achievements, experience and publications, why not apply for the Global Talent Visa. You can apply for UK permanent residence (ILR) after 3 years or 5 years on this visa depending on the route.

https://www.gov.uk/global-talent

C. IMMIGRATION HEALTH SURCHARGE REFUND

If you or your dependants has worked in health and care settings for 6 months consecutively, you can apply for IHS refund. Healthcare settings include hospitals, GP practices, care homes and community healthcare facilities.

You must have worked for an average of at least 16 hours per week. Students, workers and dependants (including your child) are eligible to apply if they meet the requirements. Include your dependants (including your child) in your application so they can get also a refund.

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.
I remember this. You are right about September.

I think that happened in NITDA not PTDF sir. And if I could remember the scholarship exams were conducted under same government, it was the DG of the agency that was charged and he decided to cancel the scholarship for that year. I was the victim of that. The change of the DG was announced on the very day I had my exams.
Yes you are right about NITDA. It also happened for PRESSID too.
Sorry about NITDA bro. I can't just imagine that feeling.

IN ALL WE PUT OUR TRUST IN JESUS
I mentioned it when I opened this thread that everyone should try and get admission upfront to avoid deferment to next year.

Some people here don't even have international passport which is essential for admission and other scholarship opportunities.

PTDF won't secure admission for you.

However, visa, flight and living expenses will be actioned by PTDF.

Yet another slimy northern simp!

I said and I will repeat it again: northern underdevelopment is directly proportional to its gross low IQ.

It's a statement of fact! It's published on journals, even Wikipedia has it. I didn't say it to deride anyone. If you feel otherwise, disprove it!
Please, bro. It is enough now.

Actually, our southern leaders are wicked and nimwits too. There is corruption in all regions. I will take any competent person to rule Nigeria irrespective of their tribe, religion or race to make our country better.

One thing all Nigerian rich leaders and politicians have irrespective of their region, tribe and religion is unity, love and support for one another in any course they do. That is why most Nigerian rich leaders and politicians enforce their offspring to marry one another irrespective of their region, tribe and religion to retain and expand their wealth and power. They attend each other occasions and celebrations. They may be disguised at the surface but they love and help one another through their wealth and connection. APC and PDP are the same. The old leaders who formed Nigeria are still ruling us today with their offspring through these connections.

We the poor masses should do the same and connect with one another irrespective of our tribe, region and religion. All this hatred we are all exhibiting here is their master plan. That is the only way they can still gain and retain power through this division. Nigeria will be better if tribalism and religious extremism can be eradicated. We the youths must not follow this ugly pattern for Nigeria's development.

Let us now focus on PTDF.

LISTS OF ALL CANDIDATES SHORTLISTED FOR THE PTDF MSC AND PHD OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEW

All candidates and respective states are listed. If your name is there and you didn't receive any invite, you can tell the authorities to schedule you for interview.

Also, note that you are competing with only your states in each category i.e. successful candidates of United Kingdom and F/M/G candidates lists will be in a separate category.

Some states have lesser competition than other states due to the number of shortlisted applicants.

With data analytics, we can see that Kano had the highest applicants while Taraba had the lowest applicants. About 70% of shortlisted candidates opted for UK while 30% opted for F/G/M. About 70% of candidates opted for MSc while 30% of candidates opted for PhD.

The North Eastern zone had the highest applicants in both MSc and PhD.

Good luck everyone.

EducationRe: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by DMainMan(op): 1:29pm On Jun 04, 2022
Another reason why there is greater competition this year than in previous years is due to the advent of virtual interviews and multiple centres.

During my set, PhD candidates who participated in the interview were smaller compared to now because Abuja was the only centre of the interview and it was physical.

The above factors alone had eliminated 50% of the applicants. All those residing abroad didn't partake due to the absence of virtual interviews. Moreso, those residing in Nigeria didn't want to travel to Abuja due to insecurity issues and distance. Only those who really need the scholarship travelled to Abuja and many people I met there got the scholarship as there were fewer candidates.

However, now, the competition is high because those who were born and residing abroad permanently partook in these scholarships via virtual interviews. I even told someone to leave this opportunity to poor Nigerians who are striving to make things better for their families with this opportunity. This guy is a British citizen but has a Nigerian passport and did backdoor NYSC. He will most likely win the scholarship because his GCSE is A asterisk, First degree is First class and Masters is Distinction. Don't be surprised you will see many people with different accents in the Tower by August. It is very easy to get First Class and Distinction abroad than in Nigeria.

I think this scholarship should be mandated for only Nigerians residing in Nigeria permanently so the poor who have no other means and are intelligent will benefit. The essence of PTDF scholarship is to develop Nigeria. Those living abroad permanently don't even know about Nigeria (only did NYSC through the backdoor for one week) and will never come back to develop Nigeria. Some of them even deny being Nigerians because of their newly acquired overseas passport but now what to benefit from the masses. PTDF should change this policy in the future.

Tendency towards bias tips the scale in favor of a northern candidate.

As for the your final statement..... I almost choked grin
Trust me, you have no idea of how competitive the south is...
I'm telling you, if the selection was thrown open, purely competitive and based on performance , I mean, no quota system or anything, the south would dominate the list.
Please don't let us derail this thread about tribalism. There is competition in all respective states.

I am thinking that recommendation from the panellists have the greatest factor of being successful due to the competition.

Next month, the successful lists will be out and many people here will win it. There wont be any exception.
