martcrown: @bayo nd others, weldone for the good work.
Please I will like to know, for someone applying for M.Sc, is it compulsory, necessary, or mandatory that the O'level result should be in A's and B's, or be only one result-no combination despite having the 2.1 required for the scholarship...?
Awaits your take on this...
Thanks y'all

The 2.1 Grade level outrightly qualifies a post-graduate applicant and the O'level condition is exclusive to undergraduate applicants.
Here are the basic requirements for Postgraduate applicants:
-All applicants must hold a First Degree with at least 2nd Class Upper Division.
-The applicants who are previous recipients of Foreign Awards must have completed at least two (2) years post qualification or employment practice in Nigeria.
-Knowledge of the Foreign language of the donor country is desired particularly for those applying for Russian Award.
-All applicants must have completed N.Y.S.C.
-Age limit is 35 years for Masters and 40 years for Ph.D.

bibiji: Thanks for the clarification @Olsey. God bless you

Welcome

Kindly follow SCHOLARSHIP NIGERIA on facebook:

bibiji: I cant access the page, is it me or their website? Am applying for the Nigerian award. Thank you

Its true some applicants are having technical itches with the BEA. The Nigerian Award is NOT officially open and the FSB made this statement categorically: "Please wait for official announcement before making your application on this website."
However, the Nigerian Award is expected to open this month, as stated by FSB.

Segunbills: Can someone who is serving but passing out by june apply? I mean NYSC?

Just to prepare your mind for what to expect. You will be asked to provide your NYSC certificate at the test venue. It will be perfect if you are a Batch A corper, meaning you would have received your certificate before the test date.
However, like the OP said, you can give it a shot.

Nigerian Agip Oil Company Ltd. Scholarship Awards Scheme is also on offer for Undergraduate Nigerian students.

kavey10: Thank you again Olsey, now I get it!

You're welcome.

2013 BEA

kavey10: @Olsey, please is the Federal government scholarship just an overseas programme? I thought it was more like Addax, NLNG, Shell etc exams. Thanks in advance.

The Federal govt. runs scholarships in two categories. (Foreign and Local). The local one is what they call "Nigerian Awards" (which hopefully should open in February). It takes the form of those sponsored by the companies you mentioned.
But this current one is the Bilateral Educational Agreement (BEA). It is one of their "Study Abroad Schemes" in partnership with the countries of choice. The country of choice pays tuition, health insurance, warmth allowance (depending on the country), accommodation and some other expenses while the Nigerian government caters for the students' costs of travel (Visas, Air Tickets...) and monthly stipends
Sometimes, the Nigerian government takes care of Warmth Allowance (for students traveling to cold regions) instead of the country of choice.

Pharoh: You are a scam i guess?.

@Pharoh; then you mean the Federal government of Nigeria is a scam
Go through your newspapers, contact the agencies involved or simply surf through internet sites that keep up to date information on opportunities like this before posting a comment next time.
