I don't think creating any other groups than this is quite germane because if those past scholars have done the same thing, we won't be able to read about their steps here bro.. So it's advisable we continue here from where they stop for future references.
Mind you 70% of the MasterCard foundation scholarship in university of Edinburgh are awarded to female.
So guys in the house, we need to sit tight and make captivating essays...all the best

Is there any whatsapp group for uni Edinburgh applicants. I applied for Msc Sustainable En Systems. And for when is the usual period of selection and interview?

For those who have done it before, what is the interview like? Do they ask technical questions or just general interview questions.

Good evening everyone. I want to apply to McGill post graduate studies for fall 2020.
I hope it's not late.

Vicmonzan:
Hello house,

If this whole thing was done on WhatsApp, I'm sure you might not have heard about this scholarship programme.

Taking things to Whatsapp kills the essence of threads such as this.

Everything should be done here, at least, for future reference.

As for the interview questions, I'll advise you chill and go about your normal duties, because the selection process/interview takes time.

When the time comes, I believe people with information as regards the interview would assist in the best way they can.

The interview time should be around March next year, so you can see it's not something one should be worried about for the now.

One love Bro.

Lol, I no too like talk too but I feel that it I'd be helpful and more interesting if we carry ourselves along in the application process.

Hello everyone, I just completed the eligibility assessment form for UoE MCF and I was denied, just like that. I answered yes to all the eligibility questions. Why so?

University of Edinburgh

hello good day house. please i need your help. i am a final year undergraduate with my final exams coming in november and graduation in view by decemeber... my question is can i still apply for the mc gill mastercard scholarship; seeing as one of the requirements is having an undergraduate degree??

can i go ahead to apply for nomination from the department? because i know i would be done with my undergrad degree before the close of this year..
thanks in anticipation of your helpful info

drhammed:
McGill MasterCard Scholarship is out for graduate applicants. https://mcgill.ca/mastercardfdn-scholars/

I wish you all the best.

Goodluck to all. Feel free to ask questions openly here, I'll try to answer them. (Please only after you've checked through the website and read the instructions, to make things easier).

Hi, if you can get your updated transcript. I would say you apply. Some of the requirements are relative and that should not serve as rule of thumb. Just be guided that your transcript will be calculated using your last 2 to 3 yrs in school. (last 2yrs if your program is 4yrs and last 3yrs if your program is 5yrs). That being said, it's important to know if your CGPA will still meet the nomination requirements (without your last transcript). Goodluck

For school or Mastercard?

If it's school, I would address it to Graduate program director or admission committee. If Mastercard, the MasterCard Selection Committee.

E.g:

To,
The MasterCard Scholarship Selection Committee,
Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program,
University of ABC.
XYZ road, Lagos, Nigeria.

Or

To,

The Graduate Program Director,
Department of ABC,
University of XYZ.

I hope that helps, atleast for a start.

Prospective Mining and Materials Engineering applicants at McGill, should we apply to the department first or wait for Mastercard's update about the change of arrangement by the department?

Vicmonzan:

I

I have not gotten a confirmation of eligibility from UBC, it's already 10 days now since I filled the form. Is something wrong or what should I do?

What course did you study in undergrad and what do you intend to study in UBC?

2. What sorts of relationships or networks will you want to develop as a MasterCard scholar in Edinburgh and how will they help you when you have returned home?
3. Tell us about a time when you faced challenges in your education and more importantly, how you overcame them?

Can you help me with tips on how you answered this
Thank you

Wait for departmental nomination. This is also good so you won't have to pay application fee.

I studied History Education for my undergraduate and I intend to study Public policy and Global affairs in UBC.
