Leyeg...
Naturally your next line of action is to go and look for your tuition and other fees for travelling . Since you've applied for CS, you don't need to do that for now. Just ensure you've filled in your details and essays on the EAS applicants portal before 23rd. Also encourage your referees to submit their references as well. CS will notify your school of your application, which is why during application, they ask for ID number given to you by the school in your admission offer details. You won't need to upload your admission letter but have ready your degree certificate, transcripts and first page of your passport for upload.

Eeyah! Sorry bro, it is part of the game. Just plan for another move and never give up. I hope u still have other 2 erasmus left??

I have just one life left. Last chance.

PlantHealth scholarship results are out. I didn't make it.

Today, 5:30pm...I just sat infront of my system, trying to compose my motivation letter and essays for Commonwealth shared scholarship.

My colleague Kay, whom we graduated the same year from same department messaged me on WhatsApp.

Kay: Guy....Check your mail

Me: I refreshed, I didn't see anything. My heart started skipping. Kay....wetin be that naa

Kay: Check am again. Na FAME+ Erasmus.

Me: My heart skipped again....Oh fccckk, Airtel network was just doing anyhow. I told him I didn't get any mail. At this point, he was scared. He said in his mind, my guy and I have got to study together in this program ( This he told me later sha)

Then I saw the mail, FAMe+ Admission. I opened it, with my heart in my mouth. I was just looking for the key word " Erasmus Mundus Scholarship". My sharp eye just detected it...Korokoro.....I was awarded the E+ Scholarship to study in the Functionalised Advanced Materials Engineering+ in at least two countries in Europe.

I went down on my knees... Screamed, shouted hallelujah countless time. I almost stripped my self unclad, but my younger sister was at home with me....

Glory be to God....Goodnews on a Tuesday evening. To state that AMASE preselected me to compete for the Erasmus scholarship pending the receipt of my official transcript from Nigeria ( NASU pipu ), and my third option, EM3E-4SW just sent me a mail to prepare for an interview next week. It's all God's doing....2 Nigerians in (Kay and I). I'll have to tag him in this thread..

To y'all still waiting for success mail, may God bring it to fulfilment...

Congratulations man!! Go do us proud.

richinex:
Me I just dey find tuition free. If I see ERASMUS...ehnnnn.....Infact I fit strip myself naked for work outta joy

Dude, believe me, I had imagined my celebrations will be like this too.

kennynelcon:
emPlant candidates here?

They called applicants for Interview...

Call? Like a phone call? How can that be efficient for disseminating information in this case? Nawa o. Please tell them I applied o and I'm waiting for their call.

solastar2:
Is your application number there??

Yes it is.

solastar2:
AMASE family how far? Just got my love letter now. All the best to other applicants.

Eeiyah. I just figured what love letter means. Chin up chief and never say die.

No mails from PlantHealth Erasmus yet but they have published a list of eligible applicants. Scholarship winners to be announced at the end of March.

drhammed:
There's ERASMUS Africa... The application ended in January or so.

INTRA-AFRICA mobility scheme

https://www.intra-africa-arise2.org/apply-now/

Information is truly power. If only I knew about this earlier.

richinex:
Let Erasmus just give Nigerians this year...next year they can give another country......anyone thinking in my line....lol?

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.

nibrainengine:
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!

Of course your chances are good. That's some propitious feedback there. Now you know that you are in running for the scholarship award. All the best man!!

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.

chaiks:
anyone here applied for security studies? my motivation letter dey fear me oo

Lol. Wetin do am?

richinex:
This thread is cold sha....making the wait seem kinda longer. I just thought I should post.
It's a privilege for those who were able to apply for this scholarship. A lotta guys wanted to but could not get their transcripts due to ASUU and NASU strike.
I dont know much about the erasmus scholarshipbut according to the EACH consortium but I think, if you've had your masters in the UK or any of the programme countries in the last five years you belong to the PROGRAMME and not the PARTNER country.

Thing is, someone like me took a full year to plan my applications into their programmes. Took it bit by bit. From International passport to IELTS to obtaining transcripts, so nothing would catch me unawares or be rushed.

It will not hurt to try sending a mail to the programmes one is applying to. Stating the strike with supporting documents like newspaper publications, one can never tell what will come out of that.

Dolypson04:
I have the one that was filled with handwriting though they wrote original on it. Is that one tenable?

Mine was filled with handwriting as well.

Who can blame them for fingering a phantom snake in a corruption case? Are we not getting chopped down in this country because of cows?

Confusing zoo.

geofelx:
Please does any one here know where I can get NPC birth certificate in Lagos, if yes, what are the requirements and cost ? Thanks for your expected positive response.

Go to your local government office. There should be a designated NPC officer there. If you have declaration of age or a former birth cert, take it along and you'll get the NPC birth certificate issued to you. It'll cost you 1.5k. Depending on your desperation and the officer, it might be more.

Application windows closed last night for the programmes I applied to. I suppose it is the same for most programmes.

Now we wait. I am antsy already.

Emaimo:
Thanks. Mheeeen the image too blur. I no even fit see am sef

I doubt you'll get a resized image that won't blur at 20kb.

Emaimo:
Compressing 5 pages transcript to 20kb is really giving me tough time. Can anyone help out?

Had the headache too and I just found a way around it about 5 minutes ago.

If you scanned the pages of the transcripts singly in jpeg format, this should help.

Just open MS Word, insert the images of the pages, reduce their length and width until all fits in one page (I have 4 pages and all mine fit as four boxes on a page). Save the file as PDF. Go online and convert the PDF to JPEG. After which you can resize to less than 20kb.

edderdstark:
Sinrem
Fidpes
and Planthealth



I applied 2 to 3 days after the start date for application, had all my docs from times past.

I believe now that applying early enough can be a factor.

You didn't mention the specific one that selected you among the three.

edderdstark:
Good morning

I have been picked by one of the 3 schools i applied for though am yet to get the Erasmus plus scholarship which i hope to get by april.


please i need info on legalization of my documents in the Belgian embassy

Thanks

Congrats on that milestone, fellow GoT fan.

What programme did you apply for? Their timeline is quite speedy. Most programmes I know will still receive applications till the end of this month.

Off topic but...

I grew up being told and thinking Govt jobs provide a soft landing to the harshness of life. Been in the private sector for two years now, best decision I made. If you are the type that loves challenge, professional development and isn't looking for monotonous work, the manner with which you'll grow financially in the private sector will amaze you.

If you are good enough, government pay grade levels can't pay you enough.

These people sef, scholarships that requires application fee, is that one a scholarship?

edehgeorgeC:
Of course we are required to apply through the participating/partner institutions, in which case, the institutions I happen to like their program requested for the application fee b4 submission, of which I declined . Or did you not apply through the partnering institutions?

I get that now. I guess I am lucky that no programme of my choosing had varsities in their consortium requiring application fees..

edehgeorgeC:
I was required to pay an application fee of 30Euro, both in the two programs I have interest in. Did you pay any such application fee?

I did not pay an application fee for any of the programmes I applied to. Besides I never knew EMJMD applications required application fees.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Jamaticulus:
Finally....a thread on Erasmus+
I have been making use of the internet for info about the program. Quora, Student room UK and E+ Facebook thread has been helpful so far. I hope we can do more here, by sharing tips and experiences so far with our application. Good to be here

I don't use Facebook, stopped using for over a year now. But since you've mentioned there is a E+ page there, I might have to reactivate my account. How is it over there? Helpful?

kennynelcon:
Do you mind applying for AIMS? Msc in 9 Months Not an Erasmus Program

Sent you a PM. I need to ask some thing. Hope you don't mind?

ShehuAba:
Thanks Ultimus for this thread.

I'll like your input on the courses you feel someone with a degree in Mathematics, apply for.

I'm kinda finding it difficult getting any

You will need to go through the course catalogue thoroughly. Even if mathematics was not stated explicitly on offer, try look for programmes that have relevance to mathematics.

kennynelcon:
I mean, how will they grade English requirement considering the fact that some countries don't need an English test.

Oh. I didn't think about that. I suppose it will be unfair to just give full marks given that someone is from an English speaking country while they make others work for it with IELTS and the likes. Unless they mandate all applicants to produce an English language test certificate. Who knows?
