The Strategic Partnership Scholarship
The Strategic Partnership Scholarship was developed to improve the Funds’ Overseas Scholarship Scheme by offering candidates the opportunity to benefit from a diversified pool of knowledge and the facilities offered by world-class institutions across the globe. In recognition of the fact that the best education can be found on numerous shores, the Fund has sought out strategic partnerships in Germany, France and China where candidates are offered the opportunity to study in English-taught classes and conduct research in world- class facilities where they will also have the opportunity of experiencing new cultures and work environments.

of course there will be.

For MSc, test. For PhD, interview.

But what is different is that PTDF will secure your admission and placement in the university of your choice if you obtain the scholarship unlike before in which you look for by yourself.

bro please kindly paste the past question link here thanks. pdf material will be good to practice.

The link is not yet ready for use. they should be fast and i wonder why they limited it to only China, Germany and France. Would've loved US school or Uk.

Does this mean that PTDF will no longer sponsor scholars to the UK and US?

For someone who already has a PhD half funding from a University in Canada.
Can PTDF help me fund the remaining part of the tuition?

I graduated some few months back. I'll be going to nysc batch A dis year. Can i apply with pending nysc certificate? If yes, what's the possibility of getting the scholarship without nysc cert? Previous schorlars,your replies are urgently needed. Plsss....

Since you've not even started your NYSC, I would suggest that you plan towards the next application round (because even if -which is highly unlikely - you're awarded the scholarship this year with pending NYSC, your discharge certificate won't be ready in time for September/October resumption), however, you could still apply to get yourself familiar with the whole process, especially the exams.

Is there any requirement for international passport in the application process?

the website for application is not working

Make I apply this year, though am not ready for Msc for now. Let me just give it a try.
