An update for MEDfOR program.
They had few mistakes in their application about reference forms..
They've updates the application, kindly re-download the application and reference form.

chaiks:
they said 600 words maximum- y u like the program,.......like other normal essay.but u know competition wet dey for Erasmus. and for security ,no experience. just nysc teaching and maybe sales.

It doesnt matter. Maximize your NYSC and Sales experience. Just think deep to events and relate them. For example, I made a switch from being a quality control chemist to a banker. I mentioned it in my motivation letter. but i added that I have learned about adaptability and how to serve the needs of customers - at the personality part" So I guess we humans are a sum of all our experiences and that is what they wanna see.
So go ahead, and write from your heart.

Please did anyone here apply for smart systems integration (SSI)

Yes... They've separated the forms now..

What did you use as Residency Certificate?

drhammed:
Yes... They've separated the forms now..

What did you use as Residency Certificate?

Just to add, two consortiums accepted my state of origin certificate. one bounced it. so i had to get a letter from the local government (with their letter head) stating my address, then another letter from my employer stating my address- and the accepted it.

All pages of Passport, but I didn't apply for this program

kennynelcon:

Passport is a requirement already... I wanted to use my Local Government certificate, but it was issued in 2011. Dunno if it's allowed

I have a letter from my Local Government, but was issued in 2011... You have idea if it's valid?

Try to make it recent. 2011 is a long time. If you have NEPA bill use it. let the document not be earlier than march 2017. what they check for is the date and ur address written on the document.

They accept Passport(All Pages) as residence cert

kennynelcon:

Go with this then. Its an easier alternative.

richinex:

Attaching Passport is one of the requirements already, and they asked for Residency certificate again.

drhammed:

Yes, don't do that if your program didn't ask you to use it...I scanned all because it was an option for mine, Moreover I will attach my Nat ID Slip to it since it bears my Address.

kennynelcon:

exactly drhammed. you can just put more than one doc so that they choose the one they want. passport page is diiferent from all the pages of your passport. one serves as identification. the other shows that you have not left your country.

@richinex, @kennynelcon... Thank you so much. Have sent email to them, I await their response.

I also use all my passport page for WACOMA, including all VISA page... As requested, but in this, not same case

Any IMETE applicant here?

Any IMETE applicant here?

like everyone here just applied for different things...I taya...lol

richinex:

Lol; i applied for the IMETE program early November and within four weeks of applying my status changed from under review to Academically Admitted via the application portal. I understand that this does not automatically mean that i've been awarded, but the first step into the bigger game is an encouragement to the soul as i beg the Lord to shower his favor on us. So House, are my chances still good?

I wish us all the very best meritorious Outcome!

Yea its a good step....just keep being positive.....before 30th April I guess you should know your fate.....Lets just hope, pray and not worry.
Though it's hard not to get anxious.

drhammed,

I also had concerns about the residency certificate. The LASRRA slip I had was dated 2015. So I couldn't use it. I mailed two programmes that requested it about the state of my residency documents and offered to submit my confirmation of employment as well as an attestation from my HRM that I'm a resident of Nigeria working in their organization. Since those documents bore my address and was dated within the limits set, I sent the three documents and they both accepted them. If you have this option, you can try it.

Thank you very much, the Local Government certificate option can't work (According to the email gotten from them). I think I'll go for what you did, collect a letter from my work place.

I'm thinking this document shouldn't affect one chances of getting scholarship self. It's tiring with the residency certificate, and I stay far from Lagos

richinex:

There is no year that Nigerians were not given. It is just maximum of 3 person for every nation per program

Very much with you man. Per course, each country can get max 3 EMJMD scholarships awards, I believe we'll get represented well. Nigerians dey try, we want all our possible slots filled. Lol.

It might, affect, see what a program sent "Students with a Partner Country citizenship who do not fulfil this criterion (12-month rule) will be counted as Programme Country students." Program Country Applicants have just 3 spots for the program

I used my state of origin certificate collected in abuja. it was dated Nov 2017. two programmes MESPOM and SERP+ said my documents were okay. so i guess they accepted it. They better not treat me a programme....when did Nigeria become programme....lmao. This residency shouldnt be a big deal. I feel i just depends on the consortium and what they feel is okay. Secondly the consortium handling should be able to ask you to send a more relevant doc if th one you sent is not okay. they sent to me and i changed the doc, they sent to my friend too and she changed hers.

I don't doubt you bro. Their message is very clear. Just use what they asked you to use to avoid any issues. God will guide and help us all. A friend of mine got called today for interview. He applied for IDOH....one public health and infectious disease stuff like that. So let's remain hopeful.

Abeg, who applied for EMSE here, they are supposed to start sending interview invite mails from tomorrow
