Assertion confirmed
Ye, nothing to do with FSB.
Have you applied yet?, am yet to. Seems its only one school that is to be chosen for the shared commonwealth.
Kindly confirm my assertion

Assertion confirmed! the good news however is,we can apply for as many scholarships as possible. started my application but have not submitted,got a few more things to fill. plus they increased the number of referees from 2 to 3

btw,check your mail. Happy sunday.

I actually applied for Commonwealth Shared scholarship last year. Firstly, you will need to apply to the UK school, after you have been offered admission, then you can proceed to apply for the scholarship on CSC website. Mind you, it is only the courses indicated for each universities on the CSC website that are eligible for the scholarship.
In this case, the university to which you are applying would serve as the nominating agency. If the university could nominate you, be rest assured that you already get the scholarship.

Thanks! i'm just so relieved that I don't have to go through fsb,applied for the scholarship last year but wasn't offered,deferred my admission to next year hoping that i'll be offered the scholarship this time around.

Drkul:
Anyone applying for the shared commonwealth?

Right here! seems we have nothing to do with fsb cos the nominating agency on EAS said "uk university you are applying to". kindly confirm my assertion.

Still here

Perhaps he was only tweeting from his observations. If you are familiar with Masaka,Mararaba,Nyaya,you'll agree with me that those places are too congested! Thereby making them prone to attacks.

Doesn't justify the blast though as there will always be congested areas. I really look forward to a day when we all wake up and all of this is history!

May the souls of the departed find rest.

Thanks@Valmesk...

Not sure a whatsapp group chat of "unemployed" Accountants will be idle@slimfeez

I suggest we find something doing no matter how little pending when an accounting role comes.

Slimfeez:
... No @ Pweetyoge, i haven't received any, concerning the attachment sent to γφυ, ℓ̊ guess it's depend on the phone you are using.

Tried viewing it on system but still couldn't...hoping for a call from them tho,congrates@Ujay77

Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm aware that people from all works of life visit this forum and i sincerely hope that someone out there will read this and reach out to me.

I am a young graduate of Accountancy and a batch c corp member due for POP on 15th. I've since taken up a teaching job at a private school(to keep body and soul)but I don't see myself staying for long on the job because what I truly want is a job that will expose me to the practice of Accounting.

I have basic computing skills,work well with little or no supervision and have the ability to work under pressure and deadline.

Any help or referral for an entry level or internship Accounting role in any organization within Keffi-Abuja axis will be greatly appreciated.

Please kindly reach me on mizskyhigh@gmail.com

I am willing and ready to work,all I need is someone to take a risk by giving me a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks and God bless as you reach out to someone in need.

OrlandoOwoh:
Thank you. Is 2:1 the minimum requirement?

Yes it is

niyogeol:
Hello folks, can one choose any course or its only those available/stated with each university? I need guys that have applied (present or past) to shed light on this. Thanks.

If you are applying on scholarship,then you must only chose a course that is eligible for it,else you'll foot the bills yourself.

OrlandoOwoh:
If a person is offered scholarship and admission, is it the Commonwealth that foots his flight ticket and other expenses?

Like SSGuniport said,yes. And if its fully funded,you'll also be given living allowance.


@SSGUniport,are you on scholarship or applying?

lantessy:
Most UK schools require you to write IETLS or TOEFL

Yes,most do,while a few others accept WAEC.

soulhighman:
Wow, that means I can just go over to my school here in Naija to nominate me then. Also, am presently serving in a fed uni. Can they be my nominating agency?

Lols, going by what was in that prospectus,the school can't be your nominating agency,you'll have to apply through federal scholarship board.

But I'll say we hold on with this nominating agency ish 1st,personally,I'll so not want FSB to be involved sef,I no trust them.


If you are applying,I'll say you worry about getting all your documents ready,checking out the school and course amongst others,nominating agency is a minor issue,it in fact comes last.

soulhighman:
I love this. I will be asking you from time to time about the stuff. I want to write my ielts exam first, then I can apply for those scholarships. I also want to o apply for chevening scholarship.

Wish you luck@IELTS,though UK universities don't request for it but its good you write it so you can apply to schools in other places.

Applying for as many scholarships as one is eligible for is actually a very smart idea. Will also try other scholarships.

tshoboy:
According to what i have read, it means we still have to wait for fsb to announce the scholarship. their website is not opening atm or where did you send your application bro.

Dongreat:
I graduated from a UK university with first class. Please how can I be nominated for this scholarship. Help needed. I contacted UNIPORT, but they said it's only their students that they can nominate

A lot has changed o,last year when I applied,the UK university I was applying to served as my nominating agency,but now from all indications,they want to involve applicant's home country.

chayomastic:
so i cant apply directly....den its nt a free and fair scholarship.
what if my university being my nominating agency dont nominate me...am nt the best graduating student
wt do i do?

I think they are trying to avoid a situation where you'll be given scholarship without admission.

Ishaq96:
@Mizskyhigh pls what is the format for applying

Depends on the school you are applying to...but generally,you'll be required to submit stuffs like

Statement of purpose(SOP):this is a detailed write-up on why you want to further your studies in uk,why you chose the sch you did and how your course can help in developing your nation's economy

Transcript

Statement of result/certificate

O'level result etc

The 1st step to you application still remains downloading and reading that prospectus carefully. From there you'll be able to check your course and the school you should apply to.

This year is quite different considering they all have the same closing date.

stanley102:
Hello, how do I download the applicants guidelines?

Click on op's link,the prospectus(guide) is under terms and conditions.

karkinase:
@ Miskyhigh thnks for d thorough clarification...

You are welcome.

karkinase:
Frm wat I culd deduce me tinks nominating agencies are like the link between You and the commonwealth board funding the scholarship. Its specific and differs frm each country, guess they are also the ones vested with the powers of nominating candidates fitted for the scholarship through ur course, proposal n the developmental impact of the course chosen. Hope that helps...... By d way who don apply sef...

I applied last year,wasn't offered tho,but I was given admission. Deferred my admission to next year so I can give it a try again. I hope to be considered.


@Mercythrone,radiantochi,jamanuka,busdebbie,dongreat,chaymastic....,there are different forms of CommonWealth scholarship(partly funded,fully funded etc),first you have to know which one you want to apply for,then you check the list of schools participating in the scholarship and the eligible courses(note that not all courses are eligible for scholarship).

A nominating agency is just an organization that serves as an intermediary between you and the CommonWealth scholarship board e.g ministry of Education,a Uk organization,the school you are applying to etc...applicants are not allowed to forward their application directly to the scholarship board hence the need for a nominating agency,and as the name implies"nominating" they are the ones who nominate you for the said scholarship.

Just download the guidelines and you'll be fine.


In case of any question(which I doubt if there will be any after downloading and reading the applicant's guide) I'll be here to answer to the best of my knowledge.

CommonWealth scholarship is a very prestigious one and competitive,brace up,have 24hrs internet access and have faith.

I wish us all,goodluck.

Angie20:
Yeah.. I checked out the interview @ Leadway Assurance, Abuja. It went well... And I have been called for a 3 day training. Its good we check out these invites if we live in the said state. But, be vigilant and careful.

You see! Congrates.

To all those asking if the job invite they got is a scam or not,I have this to say...If all you stand to lose is your transport fare(applies to only those within the state of the said invite),then I strongly advice you go check it out.

Forget that you didn't find anything on the organization on google(it might just be a fresh organization),provided the time and location given is safe,then give it a shot.

Was scheduled for interview on the 8th of Aug,of cause I thought it was a scam,especially since I couldn't find anything on the said organization,called the number and after several missed calls,the phone was answered,the guy said I'll be told everything I needed to know about the organization on the day of the interview. Whew!

Was there on 8th,checked out the building and it looked habitable and nothing close to rituals(lol),but to my disappointment,I called only for them to reschedule over the phone,they apologized and even promised to refund my T.p. Long story short,yours truly was bend on seeing how it all ends,after all,nobody will force me to pay a dime for anything,went back on 15th and the interview did held and my Tp was refunded as promised. Now I can't wait for the "come for your appointment letter call"

Funny enough,its we the applicant who apply for the job and when we get an invite,we are quick to think its a scam...

As soon as they start asking for your money,Run! Run and never look back wishing us all a scam free job haunt

ApotiEriOluwa1:

I called the number to confirm and make inquiries about the said industry(since I can't seem to find anything about Goodland industries online) but the person on the other end replied "that won't be a problem,you'll be given all the info you need tomorrow".

Please is this real? Who else got this mail?
