Please I think I need help on the Cover Letter. Should we address it to anyone? Or just a statement of purpose at the heading is enough?

Good day every1. I have some questions to ask concerning this scholarship
1. Should 1 CV contain only those things that is itemized in the scholarship advert
2, what should the cover letter entail.
Thanks, ur rapid response is appreciated

Instructions said it must contain those things, did not say it must be the only things on the CV. You are trying to apply for a scholarhsip, so the cover letter should entail the reasons you should be considered

Well i sat for the Test and was also interviewed in Port Harcourt few days after the test, I can literally remember going late for the test with my friend at Eko Hotels or thereabouts, how i didn't answer up to half of the questions in both Numerical and Verbal reasoning, I bet i got all the questions i answered correctly and since we were told there's negative marking, i didn't bother rushing to pick options when the time was up. The test is strictly SHL questions, Paper test with lots of graphs in the numerical reasoning, i think a total of 54 questions with more question in verbal reasoning.
During the 2017 application, it was not done online, we sent a single pdf file containing our CV, Cover letter, certificates (NYSC inclusive) etc. We also resent an updated Cover letter after the interview shortlist. The Cover letter was more of a motivation letter or a statement of purpose. Cheers!

Thanks. So the cover letter should look more like a statement of purpose

Did anyone else here receive a separate mail requesting for additional information like Nysc discharge date and cgpa?

I think it's not among the items with red hysterics. Maybe that was why I didnt bother

Which address should we use for the cover letter? Seeing that there is no particular address.

Can HND graduate of 2010 apply for the master scholarship?

I did to. I guess that might filter me out as I'm yet to receive NYSC discharge certificate.

Good
