For LSS scholars , I will advise you to go for top schools in which PTDF has partnership with as stated by Voice234.
Most of this schools are being run by oil and gas companies with no strike. School fees is above million which PTDF will pay.

Do not go for OAU, Unilag e.t.c

Hello Sir.

I'm a silent follower of your posts and I really appreciate you.

May you continue to be blessed.

I applied for this scholarship because of your post on it.

I got an email.

But since I haven't gotten any admission it applied to any University yet, I only provided my name, pin, program ....


Could you kindly advice me on which university to choose when the time comes?

Or will ptdf suggest for us?

When will the orientation be?

Will it be announced at a later date?

Thanks and God bless.

How many times have people told you that you have won the scholarship.

Congratulations on your scholarship. It is secured. You have up to a year to secure admission. That is, you should gain admission for next session if you can't for this session.

Ensure you attend the orientation as there may be some sort of arrangement.

Got the email too. I'm considering IPS uniport and Shell Centre of Excellence uniben for MSc in Petroleum geoscience.

I also don't have admission yet and I'm yet to apply to either of these schools. Would it be wise to include in the ptdf form that I haven't secured admission while still hoping to apply to IPS or COE uniben for admission into this year's program? Is ptdf likely to make arrangements to accommodate this?

And which do you think is better? IPS or CoE uniben.

For this year's admission; IPS UNIPORT has already conducted screening and successful candidates have been shortlisted.
IPS UNIPORT is the best and most competitive but if you can't wait for next year, try applying to COE UNIBEN, AUST Abuja, CPG UNIPORT, CGRP UNIPORT, OTI UNIPORT.
They also offer good programmes too!

Congratulations to those who have received mails as per LSS. If u follow the trends, you'd know dat ptdf awards LSS scholarships to over 50% Of those who applied for LSS. Last year or so, about 165 wrote LSS exams and like 133 were awarded the LSS.


In summary, applying for LSS increases ur chances of being awarded d scholarship.

your pin, name, msc or phd and if you have admission, the school and course. If you don't, ptdf is in partnership with some of the best institutes in the country (IPS UNIPORT, COE UNIBEN, Offshore Technology Institute UNIPORT, AUST Abuja, CGRP UNIPORT etc ) and ptdf will be of assistance in fast tracking your admission into these schools

Bros, you're kinda wrong. You must pass written tests and oral interviews before you enter any of those schools-- no sort of fast tracking. And not all students are lucky to be sponsored. You're only advised to apply for ptdf as you're making plans to apply for admission. However, it's easier to get ptdf while you're already on the program. Possible explanation is that those centers normally send a list to ptdf (I'm aware of that) and if a tangible number of students have got the award on their own before coming in (their names won't be sent), the rest stands a better chance. That's how a full set of students may be ptdf sponsored. I think ptdf have a separate budget for those centers.

I'll advise you go for CoE UNIBEN instead of the CPG UNIPORT as it is more recognized in the industry.
Moreso, I heard the application is still on.

Most students from those schools are smoking guns... You must be a 4 pointer to start with and majority graduate with distinction (speaking for especially IPS and CoE). Oh, the main courses or modules are taught by the same lecturers. You'll hear stuffs like I was in the field with IPS students last week, I taught this same module at AUST last week, etc and lots of comparisons.

Thanks bro. What you said is true. Also there was a meeting with the directors of these institutes. ptdf can help you get admission in these institutes. Ask anybody in IPS how many persons were admitted for the next batch or Ask last year scholars that got AUST Abuja or CGP UNIPORT or OTI after the induction. As long as you meet their requirements, can pass the entrance exam and can pay the fees, bro, something can be done about it. They are also in the business of making money although impacting quality knowledge is their primary business.

@all. It is advisable to apply for LSS if one badly needs a postgraduate degree. However try to secure admission in those oil and gas sponsored school that PTDF partners with to enjoy high quality education that is lacking in most Nigerian schools and avoid strike.

In some of the schools, you have opportuntinity to intern in oil and gas companies and from there you can find your way to employment if you are good.

In last year outcome, over 65% of applicants shortlisted for LSS MSc test and PhD interviews combined eventually got LSS Scholarship.

Wishing you guys success as we await OSS result.
