uceee: What exactly is the meaning of "indigent" here? The way I see it, it literally means, "I may drop out of school if I don't get a scholarship". I stand to be corrected.

By "Indigent," it means "poor and needy". In this context, it means the applicant genuinely needs some form of support. Or the applicant struggles to stay afloat financially. It may not necessarily mean "about to drop out"

samley19: sir olsey, am confusd here, du u mean we wd stil hv an interview... wts it lik whr wen .. typ of qwestns pls?

Yes, there will be an interview for all applicants and the date is already fixed (still trying to get the date from them, I've been very busy though).
They ask you basic questions, about your biological background, source of funding, your academic background and why you think you should be awarded the scholarship.
There is no delay with Gani Fawehinmi scholarship, they pay you in less than 2 weeks or so after the interview.

Alright, thanks.

I know how it feels to be waiting on Odua. That is why I had been trying to keep the winners' minds on the procedures, the waiting period is quiet lengthy.
The previous winners (2011) wrote their test in January/February and were paid around November or so.

Wierdo: @sir olsey,Pls according to ur opinion, from what cgpa is d chances of being chosen high?

In my opinion, a 3.5 (on 5.0 scale) should be considered (if you have an excellent or very good O'level to complement with) or a 4.0 and above.
It will be great (though not compulsory) if you have won any academic competition or award ( NOT SCHOLARSHIPS )
Just prove to them (with humility) at the interview that you are good. I will try to get the actual date for the interview. Everyone who applied must showup for interview, there is no initial shortlisting.

Three Things That May Obliterate Your Chances:
1. If you don't have good academic records (results).
2. If you tell them you have won a scholarship before.
2. If your parents' occupation(s) are lucrative or your family resides in the "rich-only" areas.

banjidipo: Abeg sir olsey r there any other scholarshi opportunities,this one duznt luk promising.

Doesn't look promising?
Anyway, you can stay abreast these opportunities on www.scholarship-nigeria.com

kavey10: Mehn, this scholarship came at a very bad time. HOW IN THE WORLD AM I TO GET MY HOD AND REGISTRAR'S RECOMMENDATION. We are on ASUU strike nah? Odikwa very risky.

Thanks for the info Mr. Olsey.

You are welcome. Try as much as possible to get it and let's hope they call off the strike before 25th August.

Please, I will like to know if any of the beneficiaries has been paid.

Though I opened a separate thread for Gani Fawehinmi scholarship, I'll quickly answer you and hope you continue on the appropriate thread.
Your application letter will include;
Your name, course of study, year of study (level), state of origin and most importantly, why you believe you should be given the scholarship
You should bear in mind the two major qualities they want in their recipients; "brilliant and "indigent"

We are still keeping our tabs on Total, we'll update you if there is any development.

Saraben: pls has any1 been reinbursed??it is 2 months nw,,we havnt heard 4rm dem

Do you mean "reimbursement" of transportation fare? Or disbursement of money to the finalists?
If its the latter, there are no finalists yet... with Chevron, just like any other scholarship sponsored by an Oil and Gas company, a lot of patience is needed.

thompson1510: nobody has been contacted. You gotta be patience.

Exactly

private.tisa:
Olsey, may u b everlastingly blessed! u av really done a good job. just make sure u continue to serve humanity in ur own little but highly beneficial way. i really enjoyed dc thread. it's very awesome.

Thanks private.tisa, my pleasure.

olansindeed: Pls wats d chance of bin an awardee

Its based on merit. "Whatever you sow, that shall you also reap"
I agree, waxqkiu

babs_adewa: Running outta patience for this people...my wife people dön dey para 4 me...i still dey owe dem her bride price

I'm 500% sure Odua will pay you. I can vouch for them. But you will need to exercise a lot of patience because of these verification issues, especially now that many schools are on strike.

yce1: thanks@kavey ive already checked the list and fortunately I'm a winner.... thanks to God

Congrats!

babs_adewa: I heard that names of winners were announced on 1 radio frequency

Yes, they do that sometimes.

eniolashola47: i guess dat is how it has been cos last set were not contacted untill december

Exactly. The applications are usually enormous.

Excelboi: @op, for dos who re yet to get their school ID as a student, can we apply?

Yes, you can apply. Please obtain a "Letter of Identification" (verifying that you are a bonafide student of the school) from your department, duly signed by your HOD.
You can then use this document in place of your student ID card.

Goodboy2012: sir osley,, i made i mistake wen i registered.....
I uploaded a wrong file as my Jamb admission letter .. What's d way out please
Pls,reply asap

Now, that's serious.
I can't really remember how NLNG's application interface looks. If there is no way you can edit your uploads, I'm sorry you will just have to pray they don't discard your application.
Just hope and pray.

babs_adewa: lol...me don go marry on credit...

Lol

Sbrainy: @olysey, I will like to av ur mobile number or ur email

olseyconsult@yahoo.co.uk

Well done guys. Hope your budget hasn't already exceeded your winning.
Just checking to say Hi.
Big Thanks to omoteamac for the support he's offering here.

thompson1510: I really wanna thank d op(olsey)n omoteamac 4 deir suuru. Abeg, na lautech I dey and we'll soon go for break. I jez hope my name dey verified list sha. I don dey buga 4 my padi sey I don port go Odua ooo. Mk I cross my leg n watch.

I suggest you get the contact of someone in your DSA, for follow-up purposes during the break or better still urge them before the break commences (if Odua has contacted them).
Guess I was lucky to have an approachable and accessible Dean of Student affairs...so I was aware of what was going on between the DSA and Odua (all through phone calls).

omoteamac: in 2011,odua only pays to 3 banks...skye,first nd wemabank..anytin cn apun dis yr..

Thanks @omoteamac for the support. I forgot to add the banks ( Wema, Skye & First Bank )
