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 so much for your time. When you heard your friends name, and informed him, did he come home to process the scholarship before going back? Or it was process for him by a proxy?

Pls, is there anyone who can send me agip and shell scholarship questions?.... I will be very grateful. Olumifemi2016@gmail.com, Dat my Gmail.

Lol @ clubbing...
Thanks for the reply. So nddc never pay unu school fees till now? They must have fixed the money & are enjoying the interest on it.
This has to be the only explanation for them to hold back money that has since been approved.

It is well...
Happy Sunday all

NDDC will NOT (INFACT NEVER) sponsor you for a PGD. How many times do you want people to say it?

Well .....Canadian schools seems not to be giving anyone with a 2.2 MSC admission..... Unless the school has PGD....which one can undergo for one year before proceeding for the program... Well, 2015 scholars should help me out.....I love to school in Canada.

Dear 2015 scholars, please help me with these questions...
1) was there any awardee that got admitted to a two year programme?
2) was there any awardee that got admitted to an Australian University?
3) if awarded the scholarship will it still be valid by February?
thank you

Baba Baresi, you've not still answered me o. Are you aware of anybody that was able to use his or her scholarship for a 2 years program last last

na2016:
Let's all be calm, expectant and pray that the list is not kept till September when the new MD and chairman will take over.

oh. Is it September thay the new MD is taking over... If that's it, no cause for alarm na... The list will certainly be out by then.

Baresi what do you mean by 6months window?

baresi22:


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.

Those guys dont have past questions like dat. for agip just get any typical dragnet questions, infact if u have done shell online graduate trainee assessment before, thats wat its like. charts with data, and u use to solve questions, then verbal is passages with options to choose 2 of the most correct options. That kinda dragnet. buh more over, the agip test is done now, was 2 saturdays ago.

Bros, UK is not an option for me at all....due to dia no stay policy.....Canada is Berra( u knw na)...UB in the US is anoda option buh I will still give DAT PG program a try with a good reason cos is even cheaper than the UK school I got admitted into. ( maybe I may just break the jinx) cos someone got the CBT invite with a PGD in a college... Sorry what's ur ish with a 2years masters in Canada?

Yea....that no one has tried it since the inception of this
Scholarship does not mean that it isnt feasible( I believe previous scholars must have tried and succeeded).....thanks bro.

Hello,tuition has been paid....@saouri it was in proxy.@diggyreal,it was categorically stated MSC.I am not aware of any probability or possibility.@Nelzone,I have always said that I have fellow scholars in the U.S,canada and the likes.Even if the MSC is for 20years,u are only entitled to 30k USD....6 months is period of validity.You are expected to use it before six months from the time of award.There are so many questions that I have answered.It is just to look at the previous pages.Goodluck

Hello,

Kindly help with any name of school in canada you know that offers PGD.

Regards,

There is a company called British University Consultancy who coach and mentor you for about 18 months and then write your university application and personal statement for you. Two of my friends have used it and they now go to University of Reading and University of Oxford.

Has anybody else heard of or used this company?
