I have been quiet for a while for some other reasons..... I already posted the letter and nothing else has come up. What else do you want to know.... I will gladly answer and be of help.... I am from a Bayelsa.... PS.... It is my Birthday today

post the cake.. so we can all share!!!!

funshobabs:
I have noticed that, when it comes to winning a scholarship, Nigerians hardly share info for others to benefit. People tends to hoard important info. This has been a common practice with us. We can always learn from others and see what we didn't do right so that we can perfect our application next time. Plz people, let us always help others. I have benefited from fellowship abroad and I can confidently say I have encouraged and help a colleague to get a masters scholarship abroad and am still helping a whole lot more. God help us all.

Oga that is not true. It's a very wrong assumption. Moreover, when you put it like this, you give the "Nigerians" more reason to "hoard important info". So stop driving that edge and be more positive-minded like your conclusions. Dmainman is a Nigerian who shares info with everyone to the best of his ability. There are still many more like that, just because you haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist. Moreover, what you might consider valuable information may even be irrelevant to the selection process.
So if you have a specific question to ask, go ahead an ask. I'm positive someone in the right position to answer will do. Don't expect scholars to come and share everything they have with you.
I am just trying to make common sense.

Sirp1990:
Please, I got an email informing me that I was shortlisted for interview for ptdf scholarship 2018 for M.Sc in U.k but no date. Someone should explain to me. Is the date yet to be fixed or what?

What day did you receive the email?

FINAL REPORT ON PTDF OVERSEAS 2018/2019 SCHOLARSHIP

PTDF has concluded the overseas interview, candidates who were shortlisted in all categories have four chances; France, China, Germany and the UK. Whether you have received email or not from PTDF, u all still have equal chances to be selected.

The first category; France/China/Germany results are ready.But to avoid one candidate winning both categories, the names have not been published yet. All things being equal, winners in all countries will be published probably around June after the UK selection process which is currently being scrutinized.

This year will have the highest ever number of Oversea Scholarship winners thanks to the Strategic Partners who are offering a tuition-free scholarship. [/b]Selection is based on the quota system which is the government constitution. Hence, you are competing with the candidate from your states and not the general populace. [b]So don't play the tribal card if u are not selected as tribalism as nothing to do with it. Your slot can only be awarded to your fellow state kinsmen. In addition, more slots of winners are given to Nigeria oil-producing states which is understandable.

For all winners in all categories, you will be required to sign a bond which signifies that you must come back to Nigeria after your studies. But PTDF might allow you to stay for a fixed period for work experience in your field after their approval as before work visa is granted, ur sponsor will be contacted. Overall, u will need to plan well and focus on your study and life after studies. U are also allowed to defer your scholarship within one year hence if working u can apply for ''study leave without pay'' for your job to be secured when u come back. For those who are not working yet, the degree will give u more opportunity for job not only in Nigeria but any where in the world. It will give u more chance of scholarship for the advancement of studies or for migration purpose if you don't get jobs when u come back as jobs are hard to come by.

You might be tempted when u are abroad to do abnormal things to feel among. But remember Nigeria especially your family or friends who are struggling. Better to help Nigerians rather than outsiders. Also, save money, so u can plan well and be in control in whatever choice when u come back to Nigeria for the advancement of your career. Congrats in advance to the overseas winners which will definitely be among nairalanders here as it is always. For those who wish to study in Nigeria (have applied for admission) or are currently studying in Nigeria, PTDF did not forget you. Local application will be out in June.

Good luck everyone. Bye. Current PTDF scholars are already making Nigeria proud abroad (see attached). Do better than them.

Jamaticulus:
Today, 5:30pm...I just sat infront of my system, trying to compose my motivation letter and essays for Commonwealth shared scholarship.

My colleague Kay, whom we graduated the same year from same department messaged me on WhatsApp.

Kay: Guy....Check your mail

Me: I refreshed, I didn't see anything. My heart started skipping. Kay....wetin be that naa

Kay: Check am again. Na FAME+ Erasmus.

Me: My heart skipped again....Oh fccckk, Airtel network was just doing anyhow. I told him I didn't get any mail. At this point, he was scared. He said in his mind, my guy and I have got to study together in this program ( This he told me later sha)

Then I saw the mail, FAMe+ Admission. I opened it, with my heart in my mouth. I was just looking for the key word " Erasmus Mundus Scholarship". My sharp eye just detected it...Korokoro.....I was awarded the E+ Scholarship to study in the Functionalised Advanced Materials Engineering+ in at least two countries in Europe.

I went down on my knees... Screamed, shouted hallelujah countless time. I almost stripped my self unclad, but my younger sister was at home with me....

Glory be to God....Goodnews on a Tuesday evening. To state that AMASE preselected me to compete for the Erasmus scholarship pending the receipt of my official transcript from Nigeria ( NASU pipu ), and my third option, EM3E-4SW just sent me a mail to prepare for an interview next week. It's all God's doing....2 Nigerians in (Kay and I). I'll have to tag him in this thread..

To y'all still waiting for success mail, may God bring it to fulfilment...

That's what we want to hear!!! More good news!! Congrats Bro. Baba God Don pick up your call.

I've check both their Facebook and website. I didn't see any thing to that effect. Abeg my BP dey high at the moment. How can I search for the it. Am scared of sending them a mail before they prepare love letter knack me!
