kennynelcon:
Thank you, have you applied already?
For the M. Eng, can one choose between Thesis or (Non-thesis)

Yes, am applying for MSc Plant Science. According to inquiries, they only offer Non-thesis MSc for Mastercard.

Although I don't know for Engr.

Either way, it worth trying.

kennynelcon:
McGill follows same steps too?
Is Contacting a potential Supervisor needed for either?

Steps for McGill is closely similar but not the same.

For McGill (Masters)

You contact the department you intend to apply to and seek nomination for MCF scholarship.

They will request for your credentials and forward it to department.

After review, department will contact you as whether you have been nominated for MCF or not.

If you have been nominated, MCF will confirm your eligibility and guide you to apply to McGill with fee waived.

Note: The nomination is done by a professor in the department you're applying to. Hence you don't have to contact them yourself.

I attached list of Program eligible for funding by MCF.

This was the message I got from McGill.

Cheers.

Dalmakz:
According to what is on their website, You have to apply to The MasterCard foundation scholarship program at The University of British Columbia firstly. Then after that, they will now notify you if you are worthy to apply for a place of admission. In all, you will have to successful with the scholarship first, then they will now assist you in your admission hustle

And of course you can apply to as many schools as possible that partners with the MasterCard foundation

In as much as you are in line, let me clear some issues to avoid confusion.

UBC MCF (Masters Application) -.

1. You mail the Program Coordinator, send them your transcript and they decide if you're eligible to apply for scholarship or not.

2. If you're eligible, they send you a form to fill, with 5 essays to write. After filling the form, you attach your essay, 2 reference letters, and other supporting documents like CV, transcripts, and certificates.

3 Upon receipt of your application package, MCF will direct you to apply to UBC and guide you to waive application fee.

4 If you receive admission from UBC, good. Your department will nominate you for MCF Scholarship (remember you have already submitted your application package to them).

5. Selection committee will decide on awarding the scholarship and results will be announced by March 2018.

Hope the steps was explicit enough.

Cheers

Am to be in Ghana by July also God's grace... Although my conference is scheduled to be held between 25-28 July, 2017... will like to move in group if possible... We can plan together and look at possible tourist site to visit in Ghana...

I guess you have to do a PGD in HRM.. Before you can proceed to M. Sc HRM

AndyMolarAllwel:
Bro, tnx ones again. Now another issue is; I have M.Sc Comp Sc. But ever since job has found me into another field of Human Resource Management. I current with a HRM as his Clerk over here & I have equally gained atleast some knowledge. In fact, I have developed passion for the field & wish to obtained M.SC in HRM. So pls, what is required of me & any disadvantage of switching entirely from my field?

Great

Ababadada:
I have BSc in Chemistry. Now Admitted to study Postgraduate Diploma 2016 to 2017 in Environmental chemistry which is the study of the sources,transports, effect, reactions, fate of chemicals species on air, water, Soil and living environments and effect technology thereon. I will also certified myself with this certificates Certified Hazardous materials Manager (CHMM) , Registered Environmental Manager (REM) , Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) . I think with that I am good to go.

Very perfect explanation from this bro, transcripts ain't easy, it takes longer time, just request for student and institution copy at the same time. someone can actually pick it up for you and scan to you, the registrar office will also have to send it abroad on your behalf..

fergie001:
Wow,that's great.What set?
Well,transcript is an issue especially in Government schools in this country.For d Umudike experience its this;U apply 2 d Registrar....within Nigeria its 7500 as at 2015,foreign transcript will obviously be higher.Get access or in touch with someone who can always help u to grease d palm of an influential staff there,am not in Abia now,could have been easier,cos I used 2 know my way around there.The students copy isn't really difficult,could be way easier and cheaper.But for d main transcript,persistence and calls.Since u are out of d country,could have been cool if u have someone on ground who will make it a point of duty to always give dem headache,otherwise they won't act.
On d other hand,if ur transcript have been requested by u b4 or been sent at your request at anytime,it is quite easier,cos d issue about transcript is d collation of results from year 1,semester by semester...so if it already had been sent anywhere b4 now,u will just pay and in less than 2weeks with a trusted courier(which u will pay 4 separately),it will get 2 d school.,otherwise it could get over 2 months.Just impress it on any staff of d registrar's office,who can help u out,cos it passes through many tables.
Hope I answered a bit of ur ?Happy New Year

Please, assist and send to me via akandehammedadedamola@gmail.com

Stevostical:
Hi friends hope we are gearing up for interview invite which would come in about 6 weeks, sorry it took a while to send practice questions to you all. I hope am you all have gotten it. Hope it helps.

If that's the case, just your proof of English, transcripts and certificates will do

AndyMolarAllwel:
Bro, tnx a lot, ur info is helping already but more are left to clarify.
Among all this requirements, which ones are involved on the ground of personal sponsor. That is non scholarship. Bcoz that list of requirement seems to be complicated, there wasn't time for some things there.

No problem bro.

To apply for this scholarship, you need to have your full transcript, your certificate, your test of English(unless you're applying to Canada or some UK University), a strong personal statement, community services, a lot of volunteering works, leadership potential, a strong reference letter, with letter headed... Most importantly, a lot of prayers to support it.

Pls note, the scholarship are real, they don't only consider your grade, but all of the above, your grade can only stand you a better chance when applying.

Hope this help for a start.

AndyMolarAllwel:
Brother, tnx alit for your contribution in this thread. But my own problem is that am a kind of confused for now on how to get started with this M.SC goal, I have been in the street since I graduated(4yrs) now. However, I have to start from some where.
To start with, to apply for this scholarships, what are required from the applicant
Please never mind to explain it from the scratch. As I said before, its been long but wish to go back to school now. Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks..

1. You can apply now, as most PGD school resumes within the first quarter of each year,, so applying now will stand you a better chance of not waiting at home after service.
2. You can opt in for M.Sc part time program, usually longer than full time I guess.
. Hope this help atleast for start

benELOHIM7:
Thank you hammed for setting up this insightful platform. More grease to ur elbow. I have a B.tech in chemical engineering with strong intentions to pursue my pg degree after my nysc program. Questions that boggles my mind are:
1. Would I apply now that am still serving with the hope of kicking off with the program next year when am done with service? I will round off serving by october but I dont want the 2017/2018 session to elude me.
2. Is it possible for me to be working while studying?

Nice having you here,

Which school are you looking at for the application?
With that people with relevant information can supply answers to your questions.

Best
