agongajoseph: Of course I know what u mean. And I provided the escape route by what caused that change which is logical. I know well about it because I am an NDDC scholar 1 Like |

TheSociopath:They don't have to be the same but related. I did physics, then msc geoscience before I did an msc in petroleum engineering. And I am currently doing a PhD in Engineering. I think maths is related to computer science. But the best thing is to check the courses that were awarded scholarships this year and look for a course related to mathematics. NDDC won't change the courses for which they award scholarship. Your chances depends on a lot of things. The course relationships, state of origin, performance at CBT and oral interview and all the necessary documents (like admission letter and recommendation letter from your first class traditional ruler, member of National Assembly, local government chairman or high court judge, etc). |

Nuel1647: Thanks sir. Are you also a awardee annd were you sponsored by NDDC for the MSc in Geoscience? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by petertaiwo0: 10:25pm On Oct 22, 2016 |
Nuel1647: Fellow Physicist, I have Btech Applied Physics, Msc Atmospheric Physics so I want to do my Phd either in Atmospheric science and air pollution or Phd meteorology. For Nddc since physics is physical science there is no science in Nddc speciality, do you think I should choose geoscience or engineering for the nddc speciality considering the fact that I am not that good in geoscience related question. Thanks I need ur advice and I will like to have your email. |

How do I get admission Asap to a Canadian university for their winter session? It's way past the deadline for international students... |

Please successful awardees, does anyone know if and how the N500k will be made available? Has anyone confirmed if it's deducted from the $30k scholarship fund? Is there any group for current and prospective UK scholars? I'd like to join, thanks |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nuel1647: 1:41pm On Oct 24, 2016 |
TheSociopath:Yes. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nuel1647: 1:47pm On Oct 24, 2016 |
petertaiwo0:Geoscience will be fine (by geoscience I mean all the geo's directly related to E&P, Geophysics, Geochemistry, petrophysics, geochronology, etc, but not geosciences like geography, geomatics etc.) |

Nuel1647:Okay. Thanks |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 2:10pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
@Nuel, is there any consent form that a scholar must sign as part of the visa process. I was told that the content of the form forces one to come back after studies. Tnx |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nuel1647: 3:02pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Thermok:I think the scholarship specifies that. But if you have other commitments like further study, get married, get a professional job or even something like a post doc, nobody is going to drag you back home. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 3:38pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Nuel1647: I hope so, don't want to come back so soon. Thanks for answering. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by truebenny: 6:29pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Nuel1647: I choose to disagree. I was an MSc scholar and wanted to further (do a PhD), and it was part of the Visa requirements to obtain a letter of consent from the NDDC (due to the clause in the award letter that states I will return after my studies to help develop the Niger Delta). |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 7:42pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
truebenny: Was this when you wanted to extend your study visa? So its impossible then? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by truebenny: 9:20pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Thermok: I wouldn't say extend, more like reapply...but is very possible to extend ur study visa. I was able to obtain the consent letter from the NDDC. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 9:37pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
truebenny: So NDDC weren't strict about coming back. Was this UK or Canada? |

[quote author=truebenny post=50507922] I wouldn't say extend, more like reapply...but is very possible to extend to study visa. I was able to obtain the consent letter from the NDDC. Was this UK or Canada? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by truebenny: 10:45pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Thermok: I never said it was easy getting the letter.... I studied in the UK. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 7:26am On Oct 26, 2016 |
truebenny: Do you think they would have still given the consent letter if perhaps you were applying for a work visa? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by truebenny: 8:59am On Oct 26, 2016 |
Thermok: I honestly don't know. But I guess there's no harm in trying... |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Thermok: 9:31am On Oct 26, 2016 |
truebenny: @truebenny, thanks a lot |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nuel1647: 2:26pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
truebenny:Hmmm. This uk visa, there is nothing we no go hear. I didn't have a similar experience. I also know many others that had a smooth extension or reapplication process without any consent letter from NDDC. Maybe you can clarify some doubts here. Who advised you to add a consent letter, NDDC, your visa Agent or UKVI? At what point during the Application Process, was it that your application was rejected? and you were asked to bring this letter or was it that they refuse to accept your application without the letter? Or was this letter submitted as part of your original visa application documents? Was your PhD on Scholarship as well, irrespective of the scholarship body? |

Nuel1647: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/540421/T4_Migrant_Guidance_July_2016.pdf Just before u make an issue of my personal experience, please refer to Sections 177-182 (specifically section 181) of the Tier 4 of the Points Based System - Policy Guidance ( I have saved u the stress of finding it by providing the link above), which reads... Section 181- If you are currently financially sponsored by a government or an international scholarship agency or your financial sponsorship ended within 12 months of your application being made, you will need your sponsor’s permission to stay in or re-enter the UK. You must provide us with your financial sponsor’s unconditional consent in writing. This must confirm that your sponsor has no objection to you continuing your studies in the UK. If your financial sponsor does not give consent, we will refuse the application. Guess this answers all ur questions. Funny u haven't come across this, u sounded so confident.... |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nuel1647: 7:43pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Well I think this clarifies the issue. It is only valid in the first twelve months and not necessary if the same sponsor is responsible for your future studies. Besides this is also irrelevant if you are seeking a spousal visa. |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by VicWonder: 8:09am On Oct 27, 2016 |
truebenny: You hit the nail on its head. I'd like to connect with you, I'm a 2016/17 scholar and have been trying to get info from UK scholars. Is there any what's app group for UK scholars? Pls add me, 09097674567, thanks. |

Pls when is the scholarship gonna be on again? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by VicWonder: 10:27am On Oct 31, 2016 |
tutudame: For 2016/17 they advertised early April 2016, so I'm guessing it will be around that time next year. |
