Yes, its very possible. Just get the award first and ensure your alternative offer letter is with you.

why will it be now that Buhari will change the MD of NDDC, well,farewell Mrs Ibim..
.award letter delay and manipulations activated!

Except she rushes and announces the names today, the new guys takes over nd manipulated the list again.

Please has anyone got news regarding the way forward?

The silence is deafening...
We just taya.
If you have some money better to start your process by yourself my dear.

abidat:

No delay activated biko!
Mrs. Ibim was supposed to act for only 6 months but as usual, the new person's coming in was delayed.
She even overstayed.

Please someone should kindly forward the past question of nddc, ptdf or any scholarship body's past question... To peace9917@yahoo.com... I will be eternally grateful....thanks alot.

There is nothing like "past question of nddc"my dear.
This thing changes every year.
I wrote last year & this year, both dimensions were totally different.
Go & study general questions on your Bsc area & you proposed Msc or Phd area. Also study current affairs just in case. This is the best advice I can give you.
You just have to cast the net wide...

Geobukky hi,I trust u made it to the next stage...I keep praying for you and others.For nddc,anything is possible unless you are referring to a 'new' nddc.We got our award letter on 18th september,2015.However,it was actually signed in july,2015 which shows that their six months 'window period' takes effect from july.I advice that you move on with life.I literally left my success text message for over 30minutes on that day...It will come when it will come...

UK schools will keep calling you until everything is settled.This will be worse now because most Nigerians cant afford their tuition any longer.This is as a result of the dramatic fall of the naira to GBP.Hence,their Nigerian market has reduced considerably and they will tend to disturb the folks that apply to their schools now.

I can see most are optimistic and in high spirits.I wish u guys all the best.

Dear Baresi22,

Are you saying that they did not give you the 500k for visa & transport? Ah Ah...
How unu dey survive oh?
Pls did your school give you the balance of the $30k after deducting school fees amount?

baresi22:



This is true.I said I will say this later in order not to discourage folks from giving in their best in the process.It is very disheartening to send young minds to a foreign land on a 'supposed' scholarship without giving them a dime for visa application,flight or even money for winter jacket!These are people that you want them to do their best,make good grades and develop the region.A good number of these scholars are lecturers in various universities in the region whose contribution has been great over the years.More painful is the fact that they know that most of these scholars are either from indigent or average homes.The highest act of insensitivity is that they have been saying that they will give us the living expenses 'soon' since over four months.What they did was to pay tuition fees.Abeg,na tuition fee receipt we go chop or use to pay bills?

Now,they want others to suffer same thing.Frankly,I do not wish any of you guys to pass through what we have passed through,that is why some of us have written to the media houses countless times.However,it baffles me that it does not really get the publicity that it needs.Maybe the problem in Nigeria is far worse or their is a conspiracy against it gaining the much needed publicity.Having said that,I will advice that the eventual scholars should brace up for the challenge by arriving here with at least a thousand pounds so that life wont be overly miserable for you here.

We chose pen over gun and we were left in the lurch and treated with immense disdain.Aside God,what has kept us has been our collective will to overcome in spite of these difficulties and inhumane treatment from our supposed sponsors...This has been the untold story of 2015 NDDC scholars.

God bless you plenty

@baresi22
Nice info and thanks for your prayers. Pls kindly advise me on what to do. I applied to a US school and due to my resumption date and US visa wahala, I applied for my visa quite early and I've gotten it. I've also booked for my flight for mid August. Now the question is if finally i get the scholarship when am already in the States, How do I process's it? Are there any paper works to be done after the issuance of award letter? Can a proxy pick my award letter or I've to be there in person? Base on what u said (award letters were sign in july), I believe the letters are ready by now or will soon be, if so, is there anyway one can find out if he's successful? Lastly what do you do after you got your award letter. Thanks

Dear Baresi22,

Are you saying that they did not give you the 500k for visa & transport? Ah Ah...
How unu dey survive oh?
Pls did your school give you the balance of the $30k after deducting school fees amount?

Good evening,...@saouri the 500k was paid around 2months ago.However,some scholars are yet to be paid.You send your school's tuition amount and account details to NDDC,then,they pay the balance(If any) into your private foreign account.That is actually what most of us have been waiting for.The supposedly living expenses.In terms of survival,the maximum to work as a student is 20hours per week for term time..If you work 80hours(most times u cant cos of loads of coursework) in a month times min. wage of 7.2pounds per hour,dat is 576pounds .Rent in less expensive cities is about 240pounds with bills...Remaining 336pounds for transport,feeding,airtime,Clubbing etc.Not forgetting 'wahala' from loved ones back home ...Am not trying to scare anybody but that is just the reality.I just wish they can review the scholarship for you guys.Pay all the fees and give scholars at least 1k pounds monthly so that they can learn in peace. @ nairrasea congrats on your visa.I advice you make as much friends as possible who are waiting for the success text too.I told one of my friends that was already in abroad when I heard the person's name on the briefing day.Certainly there are paper works to be done.I do not think anything can stop the scholarship unless you restrain from following it up..

@emeroking,the total was 220(both MSC and PHD).Meanwhile,I do not know the actual figure for each.Having said that,I believe over 70percent went to MSC...Guess I had answered all....

Thanks baresi, but I guess less than 2000 candidates were interviewed anyway right?

Please those going to UK to be more specific Manchester, can we keep in contact this is my email emeroking4kiss@yahoo.com thanks
