busdebbie: Federal Scholarship Board should be the best agency for Nigeria. Federal Scholarship Board will advertise on newspaper when they are about to nominate even if their website is not functioning. Like the Bilateral Educational Agreement interview was advertised on newspaper this year but not on their website. But if you can try and get the UK schools to nominate you, that should be the best.. |

I want to apply for the Commonwealth scholarship against next year and they have a list of schools that they partner with. Now ild have to start applying to some of those schools but I need to know the schools amongst the ones listed that will be "easy" (maybe those that aren't too competitive ) to get admitted into, and the location isn't too bad . Secondly I need to ask if there are specific unis that dont require IELTS or toefl and the rest.. Co's I'm trying hard to avoid all those things too.. plus I intend to study (M.sc accounting and finance) |

Shinelle: Hi, definitely, the current opening is against next year and i don't think you could avoid the English test. If your prospective school doesn't ask for it (which i doubt), it is one of the requirements for the award of the scholarship. Download the guidelines and peruse to learn more. My advice: carry out a thorough research to know the school(s) that's going to suit your purpose (or purposes) apply and begin preparing to take an English test which could be any of IELTS, Toefl, or Pearson (can't remember if it's limited to any of these now). Don't be scared of English proficiency tests, with the right preparation and mindset, success is possible. Some people have scaled this hurdle in the past, so why not you, rise up to the challenge. All the best. Cheers. 1 Like |

wroskian: thanks a lot !! my reason for avoiding those tests as I said earlier is not necessarily fear as I may have sounded , it's just because I'm involved with a alot of study (ican ) and thats not really an exam you combine with another... all the same, ild work something out. |
Re: APPLY FOR 2016 COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP FOR MSC AND PHD AT UK UNIVERSITY by wroskian(m): 5:33pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
Shinelle:If you are going to conclude your ICAN exams by december and the conditions for applying for the scholarship allows you to present your English test scores later (maybe till around May 2016); then you can conveniently work something out as there would be time to adequately prepare. So, carefully peruse the brochure. 1 Like |

wroskian:Please IELTS isn't needed to obtain a commonwealth scholarship, the requirements are already stated on the first page... You will only need an English exam if your prospective school requests such.. However, most schools in the UK don't require English exam because we use same British English... Schools like Imperial College only require you have A1-C4 in your WAEC... You'll only need an English exam if you didn't make a good grade in WAEC or your school specifically requests for that.... *check out for your school's requirements* Cc: shinelle 1 Like |

Shinelle:Commonwealth doesn't have a list of schools they partner with except you're talking about commonwealth shared scholarship which is entirely different from the one discussed on this thread... Google commonwealth scholarship to know more.. You'll see schools under the shared scholarship who listed accounting and finance... Asides the shared scholarship, you can also apply for the one listed here as long as you've a 2-1 and have your nysc discharge cert.. the one here isn't course or school specific.... 1 Like |

MarvellousGod: ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS You MAY be required to take the academic IELTS English language test as a condition of eligibility. It is your responsibility to check with your nominating agency whether this requirement applies to you. An IELTS test will be considered valid only if it is taken after 1 October 2015 and before 6 March 2016. You must achieve an overall score of 6.5, with no less than 5.5 in each band. As a further condition of award, you MAY be required, by the CSC or your university, to provide evidence of a particular level of English language proficiency. *Copied the above directly from the prospectus, what do you think my dear Sister* I am not sure all UK Universities support the CS, my advice is for everyone to carry out thorough research so as not to take the wrong steps. NOTE: I am not applying for this, just helping out with the little info at my disposal, just hoping i don't mislead peeps in the long-run. CHEERS. 1 Like |

^^^^^^^ Didn't you see the 'may' there? IELTS isn't needed to obtain a commonwealth scholarship in Nigeria. . Core requirements have been stated on the front page... Besides, that you quoted is just an optional rule to all countries involved in commonwealth scholarship.. It isn't needed in Nigeria. . It may be needed in another country. ... Cc wroskian |

MarvellousGod: Of course i saw the conditional word, the reason i put it in CAPITAL. It is well... *modified* Since you took part last year, could you guide on the "nominating agency" issues cos i sensed people are confused about this. Thanks for your commendation. |

wroskian:Alright. . I commend your help. I'm not applying for the scholarship too but was involved last year. . Cheers. . ![]() ![]() *Modified * The nominating agency is FSB Abuja.. but some schools in Nigeria also have the opportunity of nominating of which most times they nominate their graduate assistants. ... So if your school can't nominate you, you use FSB as your nominating agency, it isn't restricted. .. |

MarvellousGod: You are right, The IELTS is not part of the requirements by FSB as stated on the first page. I have secured admission in a UK school (M.sc Accounting & Finance), without IELTS test. I only submitted by NECO Score in English. So, far the school still has not asked for IELTS test score even though they mentioned it on their site too as a requirement.... But, what am yet to find out is if I might need the IELTS test score for VISA Application purposes. Cc: Shinelle. |
