It does not affect. But only put your BSC in your application if you want to apply for Masters.

Thanks boss, I'll do just that

Can someone who is currently rounding up his MSc program say next year August apply for this scholarship; and in place of Msc certificate upload the transcript of first and second semester of results?

Are we to apply for admission ourselves or Ptdf will obtain admission for us?

Application closed,is it true ?

Don't yet submit. Log out and check again

No. Not needed now.

However, you will need to get admission anyway especially before interview because you may be asked by the panel. PTDF will not help you secure admission.

Is the evidence of membership of professional associations compulsory? I am currently in the last stage of ICAN

Not compulsory. But will boost your chances.

Please where can I view list of corresponding courses of the partner University.

Please anyone who has started the application and gotten to the list of approved universities should please help to share the list here for all. I don't think it's fair for pdtf to make one create an account and then pay N500 to verify NIN before getting to see the courses approved. What if my course of interest is not approved after thinking its a ptdf related course?
In view of this, please anyone who has started the application and gotten to the list of approved courses should help those of us undecided by sharing screenshots or downloaded pdf of the list of approved courses. Thank you.

I doubt if they published the list of approved courses. But you easily get it from last year's application

Thank you. Was able to upload.
