YoungMil:
Anyone in Grenoble? How is hustling and studying generally in the area?.... hoping on going this September. Your honest response will be highly appreciated

Have you started your visa application process?

solastar2:
900 applicants for only 20-25 slot. That's about 2.778 chance. That's d definition of competition although I have seen a scholarship where 1300 people applied for only 10 slot and I just deliberately choose not to apply this year. The competition for money is never a joke. All d best to everyone

You should have applied now. Especially if you have all the requirements and documents at hand.

Yes Boss. Grant Reserve List ... How far with urs?

Ask the program coordinator to know your position on the reserve list...

solastar2:
Yes but it depend on your ranking in the reserve list, the acceptance rate of those selected and the availability of additional fund.

MAMASelf ehn....solastar2, I thought you applied for it.

Guys....what's happening with this 'No result yet" issue?
I hope all is well. It's for my sister and she had no issues at the centre. Thumb printing was done. No case of misconduct.

Please, help a concerned fellow here.

Torooos issa goaaaal

Nice work here Kagari. Sharing your wealth of experience. I intend to travel to Grenoble in France by 2nd/3rd week of August 2018 on a student visa and one way ticket. My program consists of the 1st year in Grenoble and the 2nd year in Germany.

With all I've read in this thread, I guess it would be better to purchase a ticket in the first week of July. How much would it cost for this?? What route would be best and which airline is most appropriate to use?? Thanks in advance.

Perfectnumber6:
Hello bro good day, please I would like to know what and what documents you submitted to get your France student visa, and also the questions you were asked probably. I would be applying soon please help a brother thanks.

Who can provide a comprehensive information as to applying for French Student Visa for someone with Full Ride Scholarship I need it badly....Thanks in advance.

Anyone here on the reserve list for AMASE (Advanced Materials Science and Engineering)? If you know anyone who applied for this programme and is not on this platform, kindly signify.

Such person might have a chance to get into the main list.

Anytime wey I dey read anything see "ERA" my liver go just cut.... from ERA to ERASMUS!

Meanwhile I wasn't selected for EACH. Still hopeful for others kinda.

I saw the way erasmus evaluates guys on the pakistan facebook page.....its really intensive. I dunno who else saw it. The fact that you aint selected doesnt mean you are not good enough. Dont give up. alot of factors go into this selection - luck is one of them.
Keep aiming high and improving!

The criteria for selection depends on various factors. So I agree wiith your statement.

AMASE Family, the selection results have been released. Mails are being sent out gradually. Be expectant.

solastar2:
Well bro, I don't believe in grace but in excellence. I have 2.1 but I don't see work of grace in all these overseas scholarship. If you put in great application, you will definitely have it. The selection is not based on grade only. The only thing you can tell me grace superceed grade is when you submit shambolic application and get selected which is something that happen in our land (naija) wella. Brother if you submit good application, I wish you well as a matter of fact I would have appreciate if those EU can just grant all Nigerians (with genuine intention) scholarship so as to leave this shithole. But don't rely on grace please do your best to have excellent application submitted. Well all the best as we all await several results. As for me I am still awaiting more than 5 results and I will probably add to it b4 d end of the month or April. All the best bro.

Hahaha.... Solastar said shit hole. Awaiting 5 results!!! That's good. I love the way you've spread your tentacles.

TheGrandChemist:

Cheers

Congratulobia GrandChemist.....

Ultimus:
PlantHealth scholarship results are out. I didn't make it.

Better days ahead mahn...

Jumybecks:
Thanks. Yes, I submitted unofficial copy of my transcript. That is, infact, one of the criteria I used in selecting schools.

Na strategy... Unofficial Transcript for application process is key. When one gets admitted, then you can send official to only one.

Araa meeee ri ri ooh....ki oniyan si opolo oniyaan by miskate...Sorry by Mistake..

nibrainengine:

baruzeez:
congrats man... I think three Nigerians won then... my friend also won the scholarship

Link me up with your guy....contact me by mail. I'll be waiting.

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

My colleague and fellow applicant messaged me on WhatsApp.

Colleague: Guy....Check your mail

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

Colleague: 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. I'll have to tag him in this thread..

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

Shioooor......e maaa tan ara yin!!!

Across the Niger. Ganduje loves the southwest ooh

richinex:
Concerning my info concerning MESPOM inviting applicants for interview, here's the response from the CEU admissions office.

Interviews are not an obligatory element of the MESPOM admission process. They are conducted at the direction of reviewers, usually to clarify or supplement information provided in written application. Whether or not you’re invited for an interview is not an indication of the outcome of the selection process.

You still on track bro...

solastar2:
AMASE family how far? Just got my love letter now. All the best to other applicants.

It is well mahn....Which one you still gat to go?

solastar2:
Hmmmm. Does it mean those that have not seen it have not been selected. What course did you study

I can't answer that question mahn...Metallurgical and Materials Engineering...

richinex:
make nor body come give us hypertension oo. If you have been contacted say so. If you heard it from a friend...say so....dont just come and ask: "did anybody receive mail from erasmus"?

Baba calm down naaa....I think we all admonished everyone to drop info here as they come in from their consortium. No intention to give anyone hypertension.

solastar2:
No. Have u been contacted, what was the content of the mail. I'm getting scared here.

Was told to send official transcript from my school to Germany asap to be considered for the scholarship. The one I uploaded on the application system is a student copy. This one wey NASU dey strike now, I just dey reason how this official transcript thing go work.....Naija just tire me faaa

Anyone here being contacted by AMASE today??

richinex:
Sh**...sometimes I wish these guys would just tell us so we can beef up subsequent applications. Sometimes I wonder what they seek. I wish I could just get a revelation on that. Cos its really disheartening when you package a complete application and it gets rejected. not like you failed a test or sth.

Some grad schools won't give you specific reasons. If they do, they are calling for lawsuits or challenge from candidates, especially those ones that believe they have all that is required to be admitted. Instead, you receive a generic regret mail.

richinex:
Is any body at home?

Yep Yep!! If anyone has been awarded the E+ scholarship by any consortium or wait-listed, please share with the house.
