So so sad.
I had an offer of admission from a foreign university, but i can't take it because my Nigerian University won't validate my certificates.
Why? NASU is in strike.
So shameful of a nation.

You have to see the mail I received from the school abroad. They just lambasted our university system.

Obtain a progressive transcript from your department duely signed by your HOD , any foreign University should consider you with that pending when your official transcript is out.

This strike is really damaging to me especially.
This strike has affected my collection of transcript and will made me lose a chance in Sweden for a full tuition Swedish scholarship for studies.
Its really frustrating and I have even paid the application fee of 900 Swedish krone which is non refundable and dateline is 1st February 2018 for the opportunity.

I received a scholarship offer from Canadian University for PhD but I can't get my Masters degree transcript because of this useless strike. The deadline is 1st February 2018, only God will judge our wicked leaders.

Application for PTDF scholarship is ongoing and I can't get my statement of result because of this strike.

The smell of urine is also all over time square in New York. It is a shame most Nigerians think America is heaven when in reality it is a trillion miles far from it

This guy that has never been to an airport before is at it again. which time square are you talking about?

The one In Oshogbo or in yaba? lol

DMainMan:
Yes. Upload your NYSC exemption. Age requirement was not stated this year.
You can apply for MSc Environmental Sciences

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?

[b]All I see here are insensitive posts tagged trash talk from people who have never left the shore of Nigeria and currently waiting for dad to send monthly stipends as usual so they can recharge a data plan and the more trash talks. The answer to your question depends on what type of visa, F1/F2 or B1/B2 or an immigrant visa with permanent permit. Personally I would take the offer if I can get a permanent permit to work as well and maybe a daily pay of $100 with accommodation. If this is the case, saving $2k shouldn't be hard if I can get a second job that net's in 1k monthly. $2k is presently 720,000 and this is what I can save if I'm a bad spender. Also I will work on understanding the most wanted professionals in my state and save up money for tuitions, hustling in America pays but it's hard because you work crazy hours and pay tax for everything. But if you have a plan to become a professional with the right qualifications you can easily nets $150k = 54 million naira annually after tax. So don't think 300k is a lot of money, I make that some months online and it doesn't seem as much. But building a career in the states or Canada or Australia will pay you far more in the future than most jobs in Nigeria will pay you in a life time. And did I mention quality of life, security and basic amenities, and yeah equal opportunity everyone gets and not because you know anyone. Nigeria is not a county to be proud of, everything is wrong about this country. 2019 is coming and yeah, same pdp and apc thieves will rule you again.[/b]

My brother you are correct.

I am also an applicant to University of Toronto Civil Engineering department. They stated on their website that students do not need to contact a potential supervisor. I still went ahead to contact some of them and one replied that he will talk with me in January, after I have submitted my application.

All admitted students are guaranteed full tuition waiver + CAD$16,000 minimum annual stipend.

good to hear from you Sir. please have you paid the application fee and who is your intending supervisor ?

Congratulations on getting a GA. if you want more money, your best bet will be to hit the school website and check for other funding available to international student. if you're qualified, you can then proceed to find out how to apply for it. most of the time, you don't have to apply for a scholarship, you will be automatically considered for it and awarded if you meet the requirement.

Thanks for your response. My supervisor has been trying to secure more funding for me but no success presently.

I have waited for PTDF till now no one has heard from them.

Please from your experience, what do you suggest I do?

Osemigho:


Lol. I Hope you are finding it useful.

Admission application season for Fall is rounding up and my guess is that you are just learning the process.

My simple advise, read page 0-100 of EE thread and start the process. It is very straightforward and You can do provincial nomination.

The student route is complex and your GPA is not smiling enough. If you want to go this route, you will have to read beyond my post and strategize for admission, funding (very doubtful due to your GPA) and student visa which can also be very complicated. It is even easier to study after getting your PR.

Go and make life easier for yourself with less reading and better chances.

Shalom!

Good evening Boss. please I need clarification from you.

I just received half funding through graduate assistanship from a Prof for PhD. please is there any organization that can complete this funding for me and possibly cover my living expenses?

please is it possible to apply for VISA with half PhD funding ? Thanks

Jengbetiele:
Sequel to numerous of private messages enquiries I got after my two posts https://www.nairaland.com/2822230/having-tough-time-academics-read and https://www.nairaland.com/2432779/funny-jjc-experience-canada . There is a common objective in all the mails received. Similarly going by most of the quotes, replies and mentions on the thread it became obvious that everyone wants to know how to secure a scholarship in Canadian universities for graduate programs at master’s level and PhD. The aim of this thread to give detailed step by step procedures during the application phase. Needless to say that when you secure a full scholarship admission in a foreign university, the chances you will be given the visa is 95 percent. They rarely deny or delay scholars . Let’s get started

Graduate programs are basically of two types in Canada. The first being thesis or research based admission and the second project route admission. While thesis based is meant for researchers and people who would not mind a PhD in the near future, project based is mainly suited for students who would prefer to work in the industry hence most project based programs have a coop or work term component…don’t be confused na just IT…but paid IT and it usually runs for 4 months.

Due to the nature of thesis based master’s degree, it is usually more rigorous and highly competitive you know how money matter dey always be now hahahha and as a result, you are given a full scholarship from basically three sources. The first is School of graduate studies; the second is your home department while the third is from Research assistant role or teaching assistant role.
The accumulation of these funds runs in thousands of dollars paid to you per annum. They deduct your tuition and other expenses and pay you the rest on a bi-weekly basis. It is worthy of mention to state explicitly that once you apply for a thesis route masters degree, you need not apply for any other scholarship separately. It comes together like bread and butter in most cases hahahaha. And when you are admitted and you get funding from an external source, they stop the one that comes with your admission hahahahaha you wan hammer ontop scholarship money abi? .

Now the big question is how do I qualify and/or what are the basic requirements. Well for the most part, you need a CGPA of nothing less than a 75 percent in your undergraduate. This is equivalent to a 3.5 on a 5.0 scale. Depending on your choice of program, you may need Gmat or GRE and probably IELTS too as part of supporting documents. As earlier stated the competition is always very fierce. My supervisor told me over 700 applicants submitted while just 15 were chosen. Hence you need to be that irresistible and promising young scholar.

This is where creating a scholarly profile comes in. It is not a requirement most times but I recommend including your scholarly publications in your application and certificates of membership of academic bodies. If you are still an undergraduate, hope still dey. Join IEEE, AIESEC and all these student organizations. And try write some articles also. I did it so you can do it too. Just research and stop being lazy like me hahahha. Moreover, you will need to write a clear and concise statement of purpose clearly stating your research interest and your academic feats. All these writings no be big deal. They are just a perfect avenue to sell yourself to the review panel and make them pee in their pants hahahahhaa thereby creating that enthusiasm to sign you. All these would further strengthen your case and make your application more competitive. As a matter of fact I included all these when I was applying even certificates of presentations and participations in academic conferences in Nigeria.

One of the hurdles in securing a thesis admission is getting a supervisor. That can be very frustrating as I went through the same too. So my advice here is draft a very unique proposal. Not just the normal template we see around. Be creative an instance when I was writing mine I wrote something likes “Sir I read your publications titled database blab blab la bla. While it is educative and interesting if adopted in today’s world of computing, I would like to specifically state that combining your methodology with so so so approach could create a more efficient database system…..I made logical suggestions to one of his works while indirectly critiquing others hahahaha try this with a naija professor at your peril hahahahaha. So write a catchy proposal. Because even if you have a first class, and you can’t get a supervisor, you won’t be admitted. Though some universities do merge student automatically the supervisor of aligning interest but most of them won’t do that.

Above all, pray for favour and goodluck because sometimes the race is not to the swift hahahahaha. Before I return my pen into basket of love, I wish you a prosperous 2016 in advance.

Thanks Bro for this wonderful thread . I got a half scholarship from my supervisor please is there any other scholarship I can apply for to make up for my tuition fees and living expenses . He offered me 10k usd per year but my tuition fees is still short of 12k usd per year plus living expenses .

The school is Lakehead University , please how good is the school in Canada ? Thanks as I anticipate your response .

Hi friends.

The year 2017 is almost over and we all know that PTDF scholarship application is usually advertised this period each year but that has not been the case for the year 2017.

Please I want to know if PTDF won't be offering any scholarship for 2018/ 2019 session ?

Please anyone with useful information should enlighten us .

Thanks

Getting gifts for excellent academic performance is good but Nigeria is sick and need both spiritual and physical cleansing. To that end, I think she should put all she has learnt while in school together and begin living a distinctive life after graduation. That's why she's best.

You're right bro. God bless you for this comment.
