Sorry biddie... Everyone is just so shocked why the nomination was done via text and the regret mail was done via email. Please try understand and sorry for the loss of your mobile phone. However, please reply to these few questions Did you apply for a PH.D. in your proposed study in the uk? If you applied for a Ph.D. Have you benefited from CWS or anyodr scholarship for your masters degree? Did you graduate with a first class? However, we all know that God is involved in your nomination but what do you think might have helped you to merit the nomination? e.gcould it be that you answered all the question asked by the panel correctly and confidently or could it Be that you got special awards in your Uni. I would appreciate your quick response.Do enjoy your day. |

Rather than bickering, i would suggest that all who applied and have yet to hear from the commonwealth look to other scholarships and awards. Somethings you cant explain and the nomination process by the federal scholarship board is one of them. Is there merit? Sure. Is there nepotism? Sure. Ultimately luck and God's grace counts. I would wish the process could be refined so that folks dont have to travel great distances only to receive regret mails. It would definitely hurt given the money and time spent. The commonwealth shared is currently on and a great number of courses are supported. I went via the fsb route and was unsuccessful receiving the regret mail . However i got the commonwealth shared scholarship for my msc and returned late 2015. A regret mail isnt the end. If you are good and competitive, you ll find opportunities. 4 Likes |

Tweesy: Thank you. Yes I applied for a PhD and yes I have benefited from other scholarships and awards for both my undergraduate and postgraduate programme. I graduated with a first class and a distinction for my both degrees and have published papers. Also i have done some volunteering services for some few NGOs which counted for my social services. I have also some professional qualifications to my CV. May I also note that my interview went very well, in fact one of the panellist congratulated me before I left. I hope all these is enough to clarify to you guys that FSB nominated based on pure merit. 6 Likes |

As Biddie13 pointed out about herself, those are strategies to a successful application. Good grades (which is something that is gotten by hardwork & within your control), evidence of publications (although the absence of it doesñt hurt an application), evidence of volunteering and/or community services and a well thought out essay as to why you want to study the course you have chosen and what benefits for your home country. @KingJB i hope this answers your questions also. Her (biddie13) profile is competitive and I believe she will hold her own when pooled with other commonwealth applicants from other countries. 2 Likes |

biddie13: I RESPECT THIS PROFILE Your response kinda gives a very clear picture of what is obtainable from a prospective scholar. Congrats to you. To be frank the panelists who interviewed me didn't didn't take time to peruse important elements in my form such as short Courses and voluntary work.... All the same I believe that merit counts here to a very great extent. 3 Likes |

Jefa4real: Thank you very much. I believe whatever is meant for you can never pass you by. I have tried some scholarships which weren't successful as well. That's why the grace of God is also very important factor. 2 Likes |

Prudento: If you viewed the details of the mail that fsb sent to invite you for the interview, you would see a long list of those who also got the same mail as you. That is the list I am referring to |

Hi fellow scholars, any news yet about the FSB nominated Commonwealth? haven't heard of anyone nominated or even awarded. If you were nominated or awarded, kindly indicate I applied for the Commonwealth shared, one was unsuccessful, waiting for the others. |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by Nobody: 6:50pm On Apr 14, 2017 |
Nothing has been heard of so far o. We are all expectant and praying. |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by AcePilot: 1:17am On Apr 16, 2017 |
Chigojude: Some were nominated through text messages. No one has come to claim award yet. CSC website says result will be out in April |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by AcePilot: 1:21am On Apr 16, 2017 |
biddie13: Can you please confirm if the CSC has contacted you? Thank you |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by biddie13: 12:43am On Apr 19, 2017 |
AcePilot:CSC contacted me in January for confirmation of my documents but I haven't heard anything from them after then. Good luck to us all! |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by AcePilot: 10:45pm On Apr 19, 2017 |
biddie13:Glad to hear that. Good luck to us all once again. |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by Prudento: 10:56pm On Apr 20, 2017 |
Who knows of another person that was contacted by fsb apart from biddie? |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by AcePilot: 8:21am On Apr 22, 2017 |
biddie13: It appears CSC has contacted some people yesterday according to discussions on the email thread of the interview by FSB, how about you? |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by EmanA1928(m): 12:03pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
Interesting @AcePilot. Care to throw more light on this? I hope its not the shared commonwealth you are talking about though. |
Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by AcePilot: 1:56pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
EmanA1928: Someone on the thread said he knows someone that was nominated through a text message by FSB in December 2016 and he also received an email from CSC yesterday that he has been selected subject to confirmation by his university. |
