Thank you, my concern is the financial area, especially the sponsor letter from ones undergraduate as well as tge bank account part.
I noticed you have been on this thread for sometime pls how best can me proof financial incapability for this scholarship
let your parent write the sponsor letter, and you provide your bank financial statement. Note: you don't have to lie.. Unless you attend a Private University in Nigeria, they will be convinced you need financial support. Even with that, you can't be disqualified. Changing our currency to CAD makes it less.

all right bro.I just got a mail from coordinator DAT my dept received only 5mastercard applicants and six I'll be nominated from overall depts. am just trying to see if there is alternative funding package we can fall on should in case we got admission only.
I think we have to be very prayerful and optimistic. There's no incase in this game... I'm trusting God will perfect everything for me. So bro, take a chill, and be optimistic. And apply to as many as possible too. Good luck to us all.

Amen bro, we shall surely succeed. The MEng is Non-Thesis option, am believing God for a miracle.
that only is the clause, but I pray before we finish the msc, they upgrade it to Academic Msc, so we can use it for PhD... That alone need much hard work when we get their.

Thats great bro, my department @McGill Electrical and Computer Engineering have given me a go ahead order to apply, they are currently processing my app fee waiver. They informed me that I will be nominated for the MasterCard scholarship if successfully got admitted into the dept.
ohh.. That's somehow, let's hope for the best... Just that McGill msc position is super competitive. God will count us in

Any McGill University graduate MasterCard applicant here?
yeah, what's up.

Just got nominated at department of Bioresource Engr. For the MCF scholarship

Seems UBC have waived the application fee for Nigerians Automatically, they are not asking from those that have submitted... I'll be submitting mine soon.
Larryupsy:
No. Hope you had your application fee waived.

Pls guys how do I fill the forms in hand writing or how? Your response is highly appreciated
I'd advice you fill using laptop, it cost less and safer compare to using handwriting (which if it's not clear enough,u find yourself to be blamed for it)

JimmySmilez:
Yeah. I'm beginning to feel that way too.
How do you choose from a pool of applications who to nominate with just their transcripts and curriculum vitae?

I did not think the nomination would take this long or undergo such scrutiny, I would've beefed up my CV some more. I was only gunning for the actual application for scholarship and essays.

Any which way, let's see how it goes!
Although some guys received their nomination in about 2weeks, but then you still have to keep hope alive. You never can of next week
EducationRe: Mastercard Foundation Scholarship, Enter Here by drhammed: 5:16pm On Nov 17, 2017
JimmySmilez:
So, I followed this procedure and was told that my application for nomination has been forwarded to the appropriate department and that I'll be contacted shortly when they reach a decision concerning the application.

I'm yet to receive a response and they seem to have a December 1st deadline.

Am I missing something here?
You're not missing anything, you will have to wait for their decision.

Although, the nomination of a thing seems somehow to me. I doubt the credibility of such process

MSC. I applied on Monday. What of you?
Submitted mine since Tuesday, no response to continue with school application yet. MSc also

Prudento:
I applied and have been asked to apply for admission. But the admission application fees is $165 CDN which I cannot afford. wat of you. have u paid?
Mail the Program coordinator for application fee waiver.

Are you for Undergraduate or Postgraduate? And when did you submit your application form ?

Epithet:
So drhammed my first point of contact for McGill is my department (chemical engineering in this case), then i wait for their response, I guess my request mail to be nominated should be sent to the graduate coordinator, any other questions I have would be directed to you. And please do you have the courses that UBC sponsors or let me simplify is chem eng sponsored, and all this questions are referring to the masters program thanks for your prompt reply.
At this point, you can't start UBC application again, because the eligibility closed last Friday. November 10, and submission of the full package is by Nov17 latest. Also UBC doesn't sponsor Chemical Engr at the graduate level.

Yes, you're on the right track for McGill, but you will have to be fast (Noting that December is approaching and they might go on Break till Jan)

A scholar will visit her home country twice first during d summer of her first year and then the summer of her third year. That is what I meant

MCF return home policy is a maximum of 2 years to ensure that scholars get to connect with their friends and family in their home countries
I do not think have seen that in their terms and conditions. Not sure it was stated there categorically as you have claimed.

Which doesn't require u to come back home, and live for a period of time?

Please can one explain the return home policy for MCF (Masters students), Chevening gives minimum of 2 yrs
Return home policy means giving back to your home country.

How will the knowledge of your study abroad benefits your community and you yourself. What are your long-term goals.

I need to know which of the eligible American universities that do not require GRE for their MSc and which American or Canadian schools will not require SAT or TOEFL.
Thanks
McGill, UBC do not need any Proficiency in English if your BSc was completed in English.
EducationRe: Mastercard Foundation Scholarship, Enter Here by drhammed: 12:25am On Oct 26, 2017
One of the objective of MCF is to produce talented leaders that have commitments of giving back to their community. With this, I expect past Scholars to offer professional experience and build capacity of upcoming Scholars.

Chris started this forum well, and I expect other Scholars should offer considerable support to upcoming leaders.

This forum should not die, we need to give tips that can help in achieving not only in getting this scholarship but also to building critical thinking of technocrats needed to bring change.

Remember, "to whom much is given, much is expected".

I will be willing to offer professional advice based on my experience to any interested applicants.

Note: I am not an MCF scholar yet, but i hope to be with this year’s application.

Should you have any challenges, do well to ask on this forum.

Let's work towards producing many MCF Scholars.



I am an MSc applicant through MCF.

Cheers!
