Pls did you apply for admission or the scholarship is automatic admission?

Almisbahu:
For those asking about changing uni. It is possible to change from any university that you chose and awarded the scholarship for (after getting the scholarship) in as far as it is the same country.

That said, for UK guys, u can change from UK to any other country but not the other way round unless if u r highly connected lol. For FGM, it was also possible to change from one to another as at 2019 but I don’t know if now.

I advise you don’t bother much about those for now. Concentrate on your preparation for the interview. Once u get the scholarship, then u can ask for guidance on all these things. Cheers

I have admissions for a couple of schools in the UK, is it possible to change to a school that is not on the approved OSS list? even though it's the same country?

How does one select interview location?

From the email I got, we are being asked to:
- Update research proposal (PhD applicant Only)
- Update Personal Statement (MSc applicants Only)
- Update interview location centre

So how does one update interview location. Thanks

For Germany, France, and maybe Malaysia scholars, PTDF does not manage them directly. PTDF manages solely UK scholars directly. For others the Fund relies on third party scholarship bodies for effective and efficient management of the scholars. Thus, for Germany: DAAD, France: Campus France, etc.

So once you have been shortlisted, PTDF will forward the list of the successful candidates to their management body accordingly. For DAAD, because it's usually late, they often open their portal to accommodate new PTDF scholars who will be asked to register with DAAD. They will be shortlisted after checking their files again. After being shortlisted by DAAD, the scholar will now seek for admission and then keep updating their information with DAAD.

In this instance, the role of PTDF will only be to provide you with proof of fund, scholarship award letter (to ease your admission search), and provision of a flight ticket. When you go through DAAD, they will be no need to pay for Visa fee or when you pay, PTDF will refund. For scholars who are not shortlisted for DAAD (Of course this is purely for German Scholars), PTDF will proceed with the process of opening a blocked account for them.

This is how it goes. For French Scholars, the process is easy, you don't need to be shortlisted again by Campus France. PTDF will provide you with your proof of fund, sponsorship letter which will be used to apply for Visa when you are admitted to any school. Campus France will get an accommodation for you, they will plan your trip from the Airport in France to your accommodation.

The monthly stipend is paid by the scholarship management body (DAAD & Campus France).

For UK Scholars, PTDF is their DAAD and Campus France. They sometimes have to fund their trip to the UK and get reimbursed when they land. I mean they go through the entire Nigeria bureaucratic system. But its better than France and Germany because getting admission in UK is pretty easy. You can apply today and get admission today. Also, I think (not sure) that their monthly stipend is better

pls i have been unable to change my location, any solution on this

DhammiBB:
Please does anyone know how I can contact PTDF.
I wasn’t able to change my preferred location of interview and my application is submitted already. I already called their numbers but it’s switched off and even the WhatsApp number isn’t working.

lakunle1love:
I also received the email for shortlisting and I'm so confused right now.

Please is there a WhatsApp group? If there is any, kindly add me

07013923015

Thank you.

kuroemi:

Have you found a solution

empizoil:
i have not oh and tonight is deadline

HausaIgboYoruba:
on the page where u choose courses and universities choice, look at the top right hand corner, click on edit and u will be able to choose ur preferred location

mrphysics:
check your email please

First of all congratulations to you and those that have been shortlisted. God's Great Grace to the final list.

For now your chances are 50:50, so it won't be out of order to start apply for schools. Getting admission is difficult in Europe. So please start applying. For Germany scholars, they still have to go through DAAD application and shortlisting. This also takes some time and also delays somethings as you cannot control it.

I started applying after getting the scholarship. I was lucky to get the admission on time.

Once again congratulations

For those not invited, I don't know if you have the same experience as I do. I just checked and discovered that under verification, I noticed that
'NIN verification was not successful'. I have a feeling that this may have been the problem that led to the invite not coming in. Anyone with a similar experience?

Anfieldboss:


I had the same issue of NIN Verification not successful showing on my page, but I was shortlisted. I think they profile candidates based on some criteria, score them and invite probably the top 40 candidates from a state for a interview, maybe other candidates had higher scores than you from your state.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
