I have a masters from an overseas university and have been admitted for PhD but I haven't enrolled yet. Can I apply for this scholarship?

Hiccups:


You just have to be worried and hope NDDC don't owe you. Again the most important thing is to get the scholarship. What is the range of tuition fee in £, you think will be suitable?

reDazey:

Thanks for replying. I am thinking of a maximum of 13500 pounds.

Also, I would like to know if the tuition fee is paid before you get to the school? Please eh, how will getting the scholarship be the most important thing if scholars are being owed ? Yes, I am worried already.

I think, the scholarship is between 30,000 dollars or so per year. I stand to be corrected, though.

Hiccups:


Middlesex, Coventry, Sunderland, Straffordshire (not sure if I got the spelling right), Salford, Lancaster, etc. Within that range. If you get the scholarship, come back and ask how to go about payment issue. Take it one step at a time.

Hiccups:


MSC is $30k, PhD is double the figure, which is why fewer PhD scholarships awarded each year. Since PhD = 2-MSc in value

niyogeol:
PhD is 3 MSc i.e US$30,000 for 3 years.

Hiccups:


Thanks for the correction

niyogeol:
Welcome, sir.

toprealman:
Please don't be misguided.
Budget for MSc(1yr)= $30K/Per Scholar (Even if yours is 2yrs!)
Budget for PhD= $90K/Per Scholar.....covers the 3yrs the program is supposed to run( ie, $30K/year)

Hiccups:


This has been corrected already

@Hiccups, Am I the only left unpaid by NDDC? Thing seems to be normal with the thread again. Like nddc doesn't owe!

Hiccups:


NDDC has not paid any scholar yet, I saw a tweet from one of Mr. President SA indicating she will have a word with management this week, that's why I personally paused for a while. 2016 scholars the weakest link in the struggle

Mayflowa:


Thank you for the info. This has been the worst outing for NDDC till date. No one can lay the blame on dollar access anymore.

Mayflowa:


My dear, I was wondering too. Everyone seems calm. I havent been paid too. Dont even know what next. Heaven should come to Our rescue. The heart of man is truly EVIL. It has never been this bad. Yet, u have an administration that says it is giving nddc a new face, where did our upkeep money go. Its two months past when he instructed payment, such deceit made newspaper headlines (which of course is their ploy) . The MD cant claim that he doesnt see peoples tweets even if directors are misinforming him. All of them are all culprits to the Offense. Stomach infrastructure. God will visit them for this inhumanity on peoples children.

Don't come here to encourage protest. Your "bread" shall be paid when due.

I wrote an article last year (when we were still in the race for the award) about survival in the UK.
Don't think doing menial jobs would suffice. Jobs like; gateman, shop-attendant, boy-boy etc. If you're doing any of these stop right now you're at the losing end.

I hope you were paid 500k into your respective naira accounts? If that is true do this! In Engineering their is alot you could learn. Around your city in the UK their is alot of Tech institutes you can go and get some skills for at least a period of one month or thereabout. Use the 500k to acquire skills and inturn use the skills acquired to gain better part-time employment (the same applies to other disciplines). Use your 500k judiciously, help yourself and don't be stingy, it's your money, biko!

Do something Tech oriented so you wouldn't suffer in the hands of business owners. Don't wait on NDDC stipend, get your own stipend of 15 - 20 pounds per hour, and not 5, 6 pounds per hour. Is that one part-time job? Has NDDC sent you to the UK to do menial jobs?

Please don't instigate any protest or whatsoever, to me it is immaterial. Debunk the idea it is a sin to the government.

New scholarship scheme has begun allow us to concentrate. We ain't gonna protest in Port Harcourt. You've to dance to the beat of the drum, wake up and face the reality. Go and get sustainable skills to help yourselves.

NDDC didn't send sissies out on foreign studies they sent grown up adults who can face any challenge life has. Stop this suicide thing am hearing. Nigerians are not suicidal...

Don't encourage protest.... They know you're out there on studies and when it's set they'll will do the needful and you'll be paid your allowances....

Good day!!!!

guiddoti:
You can apply only if you are from oil producing states. More so, hope your school fees is very low, if not, you will need support yourself for extra head cost. I think, the scholarship is between 30,000 dollars or so per year. I stand to be corrected, though.

femoalaofin:


Hello, please can I apply without admission letter first?

Riodiao:
please how did u guys go about the english test scores

Hiccups:


For UK universities, you need letter from your University in Nigeria on letter-headed paper, clearly stating English was language of instruction. However, I learned others had to show minimum of credit score in WAEC.
