Slyprof:


please can you enlighten us more on the institution and courses section, there are three options what does it mean because u can only be in one institution

Just first, second and third choices of the university with their courses. You might have different course options for the three but your first choice should b stated in your SOP. Thats watvi tink

so I chatted with PTDF technical unit on Whatsapp this was their reply; 1.If you've gotten admission in one university, use it for all three choices. 2.It will be interview like OSS.

nightwalker333:


For Undergraduates, no exams/interview. Panelist will do the selection using the transcripts and other details they provided on the portal.

For Postgraduate, there will be interviews in the 6 geo-political zones just like the OSS.

please do you know how much PTDF pays sucessful LSS candidates?

I also chatted with them and they said that there will be NO interview or exam for local undergraduate applicants...
Just selection based on combination of your results...

on a second thought. i have no admission letter for lss cos i didnt apply to any oo. hop it will not be an issue

I tried to fill my O level results, submitted, but i was told that one must fill results for "at least three of either biology, Chemistry, physics or agric"
Didn't write both Agric or biology in WAEC, apllied for chemical engineering and had no issues...
Dont know if i should fill biology with "No results"

Undergraduate...

Quick one, in the section Are you a recipient of any scholarship? is it current scholarships or scholarships awarded at undergraduate level?

no section for uploading awards and publications... don't they need them for LSS?

NuclearReactor:
Undergraduate...

I'm actually asking about postgraduate do you have an idea?

Bro just talk to your course adviser or your departments office. They should have your second semester result already, but have not yet released it. Explain to them they should be able to get the result for you.

Pls o. I need response. I got shortlisted for LSS but I dont hav an admission letter for my interview. Meanwhile I did not apply to any Local institution for the past session. Is d admission letter a requirement at the interviews.

My source is from one of the last scholars. If selected, you will be invited for documentation and in the process asked to submit the receipt of the tuition you paid.

No one can say categorically. But during application, admission letter was one of the documents we were asked to upload. How did you bye pass that....regardless, you can take the risk of attending the interview since you were invited and possibly explain that you would be picking up the application form that will soon be on sales.

Nope, even after being "shortlisted" their will still select those to finally award the scholarship... That's why they asked for our transcripts... They will Probably combine year one results and other ones like WAEC and JAMB to select those that will be awarded...
