I thought the mail was always sent once, why are they sending the mail in batches ![]() anyone with invite this week?? |

Vicrown:I applied too, bu5 haven't heard anything from them yet. Could it he because the offer of admission I have is conditional and I haven't done English language proficiency Exam. Am keeping my fingers crossed anyways. |

Vicrown: Nice one. Did not get beyond the interview stage. |

Vicrown sorry for the regret mail. God will surely provide a better opportunity. Please i would like to ask if you are from Nigeria |

dossylvanus: Oh yes I do. I also applied for the CSSS. The last hope ![]() ![]() Someone said the reason for my regret mail from Chevening could be because I applied without a Language Test score. Ironically, my IELTS came in same day (yesterday). If it is something else, well, I have put in the work. You don't get shot for effort. Lastly, someone should please restore my confidence by telling me I don't necessarily need to have graduated with a first class to make it at this scholarship ![]() ![]() |
Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by dossylvanus(m): 10:06am On Feb 07, 2017 |
odogwudozilla: The truth is a first class degree is an advantage when it comes to scholarship opportunities. But I think that for the csss, the universities are more influential in the decision making process. The csc will just veto their nominations. Also the career plan essays and the development Esaay carry a lot of weight. You want to be able to convince them that you garrit! Lastly, please find people who will write super references for you. There might be reasons why you graduated with a 2.1. Hopefully your academic references should be able to expantiate on that. My problem with Nigerian professors is that they are always bigger and busier than God. So find a friendly one, with whom you still have good rapport You might even draft your recommendation letter yourself and arrest him for one day. 1 Like |

Hi guys, I have a little problem. On most of my offers of admission so far, there's a final Bsc certificate condition attached. The thing is that certificates are only given during convocation ceremonies, and the last convocation we had was in 2009, when I gained admission. How do I convince the admissions teams? |
Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by odogwudozilla: 10:52am On Feb 07, 2017 |
dossylvanus: Thank you for your response. Your point about the Essays and references are as legit as the blackness of my knuckles. Please what do you mean by this: The csc will just veto their nominations.? Or do you mean "vet"? |
Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by dossylvanus(m): 10:58am On Feb 07, 2017 |
odogwudozilla: Lol. The thing is that once you are nominated by the university to the csc you are almost looking at a scholarship slot. Except you are a reserve nominee, you're an automatic recipient once you've been nominated. That's what I meant when I said veto. 1 Like |

Is there a way you can get attestation letter in lieu of certificate from your school?

Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by odogwudozilla: 11:44am On Feb 07, 2017 |
dossylvanus: I assume you already have a transcript....Explain your special situation to them. Alternatively, you can get a copy of the statement of result notarised while doing the explanation. I am sure they will understand, or give you further information on what to do...yours is a special case outside your control. They certainly aren't expecting you to call for convocation, are they? 1 Like |

Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by Prudento: 1:17pm On Feb 07, 2017 |
It is quite unlikely that chevening will still invite people for interview |
Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by dossylvanus(m): 1:26pm On Feb 07, 2017 |
Prudento: The truth is... You don't know what's going on at this stage... Chevening has given the middle of February for notifications on status of applications. So I advise that you relax and wait till then. Today is 7th. We should know our stand in about a week's time. |

Re: 2016/2017 Chevening Scholarship Applicants. by dossylvanus(m): 7:15pm On Feb 07, 2017 |
Tboy243: The thing is having high BP over this scholarship isn't the best. Some people will be sent regret mail even if they submit unconditional letters, wonderful essays and perfect English language test scores. This is a highly competitive scholarship and no single factor can be said to be the decider. If it's your turn to smile, you definitely will. It is also wise that you look at other scholarships as well... Spread your risk. Enjoy. 1 Like |
