Exactly my point, this scholarship is so unpredictable. E fit shock you.
UtilityRational:



Admission seeking is solely on you. PTDF will not reimburse you for any Admission application fee. Some schools has zero application fee though. Some schools waive English requirements. Passport is also compulsory if not for application, for travel.

If I were you, I will not do anything. I mean any thing until I see the final list of Awardee. If your nama is there, everything thing else will be easier. Like some France schools need proof of funding. So you can use PTDF award letter. You also needs DAADs for German schools. So as I said, if I were you,I will wait first.

Can our Senior folks Guide us on the admission seeking process since we are done with the interview.
Especially for those that applied to France and Germany where Their requirements are stringent.
How do we go about the IELTS, recommendation letters, do we need international passport for application and what happens when the university is asking for an application fee which is quite high for us over in Nigeria.
Can you just guide us on the next steps from here? @utility rational and others

First pray to get the scholarship 😁.
Admission can be sorted out. This scholarship is very competitive because it is a rich scholarship! Unfortunately it's difficult to say what the criteria for selection truly is. People suffer too much in pursuit of this scholarship

For those who didnt make it, One sure thing is if you were to have earned merit somewhere and you probably were denied, know that God is prepping you for something better. Make sure you never stop being consistent pursuit for better tomorrow.

We shall all celebrate in our various spheres of life transformation. We shall all be alive to live the best of our lives.


All the best to all of us and congrats once again to the shortlisted candidates!



You're a good man. I like what you said but I admire much more what you haven't said. To the victors, please be magnanimous. I understand that some of us doubted the list but it wasn't out of hate, we just needed to be certain as I'm certain everyone fought hard for this opportunity. It's disappointing but not the end.

Someone claimed hes going to Germany.
Could the person share one sure thing that clears the air once and for all.
If unclear news is up and about, you can do well from your end to clear the air


if some groups can say some had managed to secure slots themselves, same group could potentially be behind spread of this. There is no frenzy vibe resonating with this news
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 11:16am On Sep 09, 2023
I am thinking it's genuine but it actually feels weird. Other years, you'd see people acknowledging on nairaland but this year, maybe the recipients are more reserved.

It started with people receiving mails requesting for money and propositioning the scholarship

Then there's the mistake made on the emails and now ptdf is yet to update their site. It all looks somehow and every mind maybe tempted to doubt but then, I somehow believe this is it!
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 12:46am On Sep 09, 2023
Not sure PTDF updates their website immediately. Though I admit something just doesn't feel right about the whole thing but congratulations to those who genuinely earned it
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 12:16am On Sep 09, 2023
Congratulations to them. But why's it saying 2022/2023 and not 2023/2024

Mrkdl:
Is there a section for admission letter upload on everyones portal?

I noticed this when I clicked on Preview Application recently. I can’t remember if it has been that way from the beginning.

Seems like the portal is being touched right?

Never attacked anyone. Just nothing comments also.

Make some of us calm down. You haven't gotten scholarship yet, you are talking about accommodation. Just too funny.


It is not a must one must go this September 2023. If it delays, defer to 2024.


Oga sorry o. Your subtile attacks are too often. Just an innocent discussion.
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 8:54pm On Sep 07, 2023
Okay let's open another angle of discussion.

For those whose programmes may have already begun, what do we advise ourselves to do? Defer? - will they still accept students a month or two past resumption date.

2) If we're contacted now, we need to start looking for accommodation and etc. What can we advise ourselves as a means to quickly get accommodation and all

3) For those that maybe willing to anonymously give back to our fellow comrades who may not make the list, how can we go about it? What suggestions can we come up with on ways to help because we've become brothers and sisters in the struggle

4) What's the value and conditions of the PTDF scholarship

5) How's the assessment done?


Let the discussion begin, my brothers and sisters - Nagode

Does PTDF Have more money than TETFUND? The answer is NO.

PTDF had complained about FX crisis even said they will focus on Local scholarship Scheme.

Fund for PTDF approved in Naira. Is Federal Government Budget in dollars? Answer is No.


Just funny comments


FX crisis too may not mean unavailability of funds but the inability to access FX. I believe this liberalisation of FX may have fixed that.

Something else maybe holding this scholarship and I doubt it's ego. Like I posted earlier, maybe they've concluded already

Oga, TETFUND have money than PTDF and TETFUND's budget is higher than PTDF.


TETFUND has a broader scope when compared to PTDF. Therefore, PTDF would have more disposable income I believe.

Eggxactly .
It's just so strange that the list ain't out. Very strange
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 5:31pm On Sep 07, 2023
I respectfully disagree for several reasons:
The liberalisation of the FX market should mean FX should now be more available but at higher amount.

2. The Fund would have published the list so it'll be known that they aren't at fault. They would have at least begun other processes such as induction and visa processing

3. They can be issued a waiver as this scholarship is part of their mandate and not just a CSR

4. They can give awardees the naira equivalent to source for FX themselves after maybe paying the fees - I don't know how they do it.

Finally, I just think there's something wrong or perhaps the awardees have been notified and we didn't make it.

Even the surest man - octave missed this year's prediction

EdoBoy90:



Soon, I will be commenting from afar.

Exchange rate is affecting everyone includes PTDF and TETFUND.

TETFUND applicants have moved on already.

NDDC applicants have moved on already.
Education / Re: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Ikpok: 5:03pm On Sep 07, 2023
I just advise we begin to move on because this is September when so many schools would have already resumed and the awardees have yet to be contacted, let alone visa processing and other bureaucratic processes before awardees will be administered the scholarship. It's just unfortunate but I strongly advise we move on, if the list is eventually published and your name is on it, fine, if not, at least you won't be as disappointed as waiting in vein. Imagine hearing on the news by tomorrow that the induction actually took place yesterday.
