Razakipaye:
Pls how do I resolve this

Clinton12345:
Did you do the interview?

Yes nah... It may be an issue that I will have to escalate to the support team.

Am i the only one that feels this wait is becoming unbearable. It's close to three weeks since we had our interviews... Does anyone have an idea of what's happening?

If not by the end of this week, then not later than next week. It used to take much longer than 3-4 weeks after the interviews for the list to be out, but because they most likely have concluded MSc selection since a long time ago and only have PhD list to compile, they can manage it in 3-4 weeks. And this is July, time is running out for September entry so they would try and hurry. 2018 list came out in July. 2019 list came out in June.

Thanks for this. It's like a cold water offered to a man who has been scorched by the mid day sun

Typically overseas application comes out at the end of the year, around November/December

Please I want to ask if one is required to 1st get admission from the overseas schools before applying for the scholarship

NO ADMISSIN NOT COMPULSORY

Hello, I have a perplexing question that I've been thinking about and would need help from you folks that have had the experience. I'm an o'level student, left secondary school 6years ago and have not had chance to go to school due to finance. Now I want to enroll for part time next year, so I'm contemplating between NOUN or running a part-time in Yabatech, I want to go for computer Science, and I can't go fulltime cos I'm self sponsored and would need to be working while I study. I'm in Lagos

My issue is this, I come from a quite a primitive setting and it has affected the way I see and think about things. E.g, I can hardly put correct English words together verbally, and I'm very much intimidated in the presence of educated people. This I want to change. And It would have been better if I go to a 'normal' full time school so as to really get 'educated and civilised, and change my overall way of thinking, speaking and doing things. This I believe will come from regular and steady mingling and coming in contact with refined, educated individuals, and regularly being in a scholarly environment.

If I run a part-time program or do self study through National Open University, I might not be able to achieve this. And it's one of the major reason I want to get educated. Please any way I can get through this? Or any words you might have for me, I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice.

First, i must appreciate your resilience to study and i strongly believe that as much as you continue to strive to accomplish this nature will naturally make things work in your favour. Secondly, you write so well and have the ability to coordinate your opinion carefully and as such it makes me confused; are you truly what you claim or do you want to just generate a viral thread like most people do on this platform. If the former is true of you, then the sky is your starting point. Lastly, i want you to correct that notion that learning within the four walls of the higher institution as a full time will make you any better than those who study on part time. The world is filled with so many people who were self taught and still went on to do excellently than those who had to go through regimented systems of learning, with the recent advances in technology distance learning is the education of the future and is best we start embracing it. In my own opinion what I consider most important in learning is the will to do, once you have this it will help you to achieve so many things. Truth be told, there are some benefits attached to full time study but the bitter truth is studying part time doesn't make you of a lesser graduate than the one who studied full time. After all, we have full time students who come out of higher institution and are of no value to the system and the society at large. My hardworking Nigerian youth i will advise that if it is part time you can do that will make your academic journey worthwhile please do it with the whole of your mind and make the best out of it. God bless your efforts in Jesus Name ( Amen)

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. And, this is what I put out cos I had an issue which is real, not here to generate a viral thread. I actually registered yesternight to ask this here. Thank you and God bless you. I hope the part time can bring about the intellectual changes I need too.

To add to what @bidec6 said since I align completely with his positions, I would encourage you to make reading of good novels a habit. That will significantly improve your speech, writing, exposure and reasoning.

The sky is your limit. All the best!

Ptdf website has been down since Friday night. Has anyone been successful visiting the website?

The release of interview results will largely depend on the pandemic outlook in the Scholarship destinations chosen by PTDF. Expect another one year of hiatus if things continue to go south in those countries.

Omo... Only few will make it to final list. Scary!

How do you know that?

From past years. Only few get it out of the lots that apply and get interviewed. It is always like that.
Na normal practice...... Why I'm stressing it is due to how long many have been waiting for the list.

I tell u ,I just hope we all make it

It’s obvious naah. They called about 6000 applicants for the interview this year, and according to 2019 report, less than 1000 applicants got the scholarship

The list is ready, what is left is for management to approve the release of emails to successful candidates. As at last week management were still deliberating doing another scholarship recruitment process or just add more slots to this years. It was resolved that it’s already late for them to do a new selection process.. Even this week is not so certain it might drop this week but it shouldn’t exceed next week (8-15) 100%.

They’re still considering somethings but it’s mainly a management decision thing that’s holding it. It might also be a virtual induction, I’m not too sure of this tho.

But it will not pass this week or at extreme second week of August. Contrary to people saying it’s this week indefinitely. But let’s see so let’s be hopeful.

Does this infer that they'll just add more slots?

How much does the scholarship pay for living expenses monthly?

The slots for each State have actually been increased

Do you know if they doubled the previous amount?

gidob:

I can't say exactly, honestly.

I’m hearing increased by 3..
I really hope it’s released this week.

Abokii8:
I can't say exactly, honestly.

Can we know our fate already?
I am tired of these wait

In a normal system things shouldn't take this long but we all know how the system works, lobbying here and there just so they can give the scholarship to the annointed candidates. Let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope for a fair selection process. The rumour of the increased slots comes as a good one but let's just hope the new slots are not for sons and daughters of the elites, because I am tempted to ask, what will be the modality for choosing those new set of people? Ideally, in a system where fairness and equity prevails, the next three in order of performance should be the selected ones. Let's just keep hope alive ���

What I'm I seeing.
