AkProsper:
Hello, good morning. I already have OND, which scholarship can i apply for with OND.

Try and go for direct entry to Nigerian schools. You can apply for numerous undergraduate scholarships.
But if you must go abroad, then start taking GRE and other A level exams. You could get admission to 2nd year in some schools, though the koko will be how to get full tuition. My advice is go for DE here in Nigeria, do very well and get a first class (you can get scholarships during your undergrad study like I earlier said) and the coast will be better for you to further to Masters.

My two cents

KODACK:
P.H.D scholarship.

Bro, that was unnecessary na.

Abokii8:
Portal is still open. I can even see the option to edit my application

Strange. It was closed today.

DINDU20:
No. I didn't receive any email, just a congratulatory remark.

I only hope my later edits didn't affect the one I had submitted.

God help me o�

Actually, the way I see it, once you've submitted the first time, then you've successfully applied. If you click on editing and you edit your application, it has no effect until you resubmit. So its the last one you submitted that's with flexisaf. The previous data is only overwritten when you click submit after editing your application.

My two cents

datascience:
The truth is I dont even remember if there a section about selecting schools. Please was there an email confirming if we applied?

E tire me

Datascience, nice seeing you here

lucexy:
I am not yet through with my application form cos
I don't have my tanscript. Someone told me transcript and certificate are complulsory

Exactly, that is what is holding me. Getting transcript from my school is something else but I know God is able.
Thanks for the reply.

The portal is now closed. The wait now begins.
I believe most of your churches will start prayers and fasting soon, for my fellow Christians. Well you know what should be in that prayer request slip. Don't overlook the place of God's favour, because frankly there's no publicised shortlisting criteria by PTDF. Very able candidates and also, some seemingly average ones (no disrespect intended) would both be shortlisted and disappointed.
So brethren, we need to pray.

My two cents

ExpertNLer:
Me i've submitted before the deadline, actually wanted edit my application to add stuff to my application but I have decided to leave it to be on the safer side

Exactly. And the most annoying thing is why all these 'stuffs' didn't cross our mind before submitting. Anyway, they'll all follow me to the interview.

Jiang:
It was posted on the 19th and not 27th, it was specifically stated at the website that the last date for submission is 31st of December 2018 at 12 midnight.

You should do well to submit before deadline

But if the portal is still open you can still try ur luck, who knows, God works in mysterious ways afterall

Exactly what I wanted to point out

lucexy:
No.

Lucexy, can you confirm what we are to attach in the DAAD application?

daben1:
thanks for your response, the passport I uploaded, is not passport per sey, it's a selfie I took, hope no problem?

Boss you are funny. I had to laugh.
Anyway, me thinks pishure is pishure.

My two cents

ExpertNLer:
No, PTDF cannot speak to DAAD on behalf of the selected candidates, beacause DAAD is the exchange service that PTDF engages to make the German scholarships possible - hence that is why PTDF instructed that candidates looking to select German Universities have to register on the DAAD service.

OK then. Thanks for the reply.
Please who knows the documents required for attachment after filling the form? Anyone?

ExpertNLer:
yes so long you eventually register before the DAAD deadline, then it is fine

Eehmm, you didn't seem to get my point. I said that those who didn't complete their registration before the DAAD deadline were still given a chance when they were chosen for the Germany scholarship. True?

ExpertNLer:
DAAD won't be able to process the visa

Ehhmm, I heard those shortlisted for Germany last year and that had not registered with DAAD were given a chance to. Can you, or anyone else, confirm this?

ExpertNLer:
the portal is still open, those who want to complete their ptdf application last minute can do so

Like seriously, if you see how surprised I am. Anyway I have a question. I submitted around 12.30 am for a friend that couldn't access his portal. The thing now is I tried editing his application after submission and the portal started misbehaving, loading and loading without going through. Do you think it will affect the application? The thing I wanted to add was very minute and can be negligible. But I'm concerned if the application is still submitted. Though, I checked the application tab and it still says application completed.
I want to leave it like that. What do you think?

TuborTee143:
Yeah I used a different browser (Mozilla) and it worked perfectly.. Those village people cannor get me lol �

Lol. Thank God it worked. Those village people should better show their talents else where o. But please, try and submit your own mbok.

TuborTee143:
I did my application although haven't submitted yet, so I tried applying for a friend and since then my passport kept displaying on his own print page..i have tried logging out and completing the whole process again, yet it's same thing. Though I thought of submitting like that then print his passport on top of it but then again I don't know if PTDF have a database/list where they cross check b4 interview. Someone kindly help on this..

I guess you mean the passport photograph. Have you tried removing it totally? Try that then upload the correct one.

My two cents

jjohndoe83:
So, I published in an international journal (along with others, although I did most of the work). I sent the hardcopy to one of the organisations I wrote about, later they sent a letter specifically to me thanking me for my contribution and for shedding light on their effort in that area.

Would this qualify as an award? What do you think?

You must just get this award sha, lol.
Sorry mate, that's not an award. It was just a letter of appreciation, that's all.

My two cents

kevwemanuel:
Please does anyone here know the citie(s) where PTDF interview usually holds ?

You can find that in previous threads. But I think its according to geopolitical zones.
I can't recall very well but they should be Ibadan, abuja, Zaria, port Harcourt... I'm not very sure but I think most of the cities mentioned here were used in previous years.

My two cents

Kassidy4luv:
Can I use my undergraduate project.

Of course you can use your undergraduate project but it must be published in a journal or presented in a conference. You can't put in your unpublished undergraduate project in the portal because you would be required to present same during interviews.
I actually advice young researchers to use their undergraduate thesis as their launch into publications; my first published work is my undergraduate thesis.

My two cents

Jasiro:
Hello all, please does one need to have published a book before he could get PTDF scholarship?

It's not a must, though it's a plus. All in all, it depends on the calibre of candidates from your state. But don't forget, the race is not to the swift.... so you never know. Give it your best shot .
And again, your headache now shouldnt be about publications but about your getting shortlisted for the interview.

My two cents

alfarouq:
Please, what's the deadline to register on daad

31st of January bro

For those that are yet to submit, please do so o, before village people will start showing their talents on the 30th of December.

Feraz:
The app you're using is outdated. Try updating from your store. It should fix that since it is a special kind of form.

It's not about the app. He needs to use a laptop. I downloaded the latest app yet it didn't work. Sad thing, my system is in bad shape. Oh well....

lucexy:
I'm not sure. But to be on a safe side, just make it the same with the one on your PTDF application form.

I think he can. Daad is separate from PTDF. He just needs to ensure that he includes PTDF scholarship among his selections. But if he sees any other scholarship that aligns with what he wants, well.....

AKB1:
Pls what is your opinion?

If it's for ptdf, I wouldn't advice that bro. If you have a masters degree that you are not satisfied with, then apply for another masters.

lucexy:
I noticed it too

Does that mean it isn't necessary again?

Please who else has noticed that passport number has refused to save. If I input it and log out, on logging in again, it wouldn't be there. Am I the only one?

AKB1:
Is it allowed to apply for a Master and PhD at the same time?

Haba

Thanks dear

crowther15:
thanks bro..... I'm grateful

You are welcome bro

lucexy:
I have resolved this. Checked a YouTube video on how to fill the form.

Aunty, biko, would you mind sharing the link here so that we all could benefit?

I know God is bigger than DAAD.
