In order to get the proof of funding and award letter, what must one present to ptdf? Also, can one choose a school other than the ones listed by ptdf?

I have already sent them an email and they just replied me this morning that they've passed my request to the PTDF management that I should expect their decision soon.
Following these update, I suggest we also send them follow up email for them to consider it giving the high prices of flight tickets since there are no travel allowances from them.


Ok. Welldone Man!

Your admission letter for proof of funding, which u will send to your school and the school will later issue u CAS or CoE or I-20 depending on ur chosen country of studies; submit that to PTDF again and u will be issued with scholarship award letter. Yes, U can choose achool other than those ones listed.
Caveat: this information is absolute correct as of last year and previous years award but PTDF is cash strapped now. And their is new head at the PTDF Tower. Best of luck.

I hope they do that for oversea guys. The flight tickets these day is enough to buy a land. Moreso, thinks PhD is one from each state. The resources to risk for it is too weighty

Can Dremanuel or anyone else help me with a list of the USA schools listed by PTDF please?

I believe the list applies more to master's Scholar.

I only know of University of Michigan and MIT. There are many other schools on the list but I couldn't access the list again on ptdf site.

Flight tickets are crazily expensive now.....but what if you are the only one invited for the phd interview in your state? A friend of mine took the risk of flying down last year and got the scholarship. A tough decision I must say.

It is impossible before september but may be possible first two weeks of september if finalist is published first week of August, and PTDF used diplomat approach for securing visa for scholars without interview.

1). How many minutes will the Ph.D prproposal presentation / interview last?
2). Do we need to prepare power points ( Microsoft power point Slides )
3). What are the likely questions for those in Environmental science / environmental engineering.
4). Do we need to include cost of the research in our proposal?

How many minutes...


1). How many minutes will the Ph.D prproposal presentation / interview last?
About 5 minutes. Sometimes they just keeps throwing questions at you once they see your topic before you can even start.

2). Do we need to prepare power points ( Microsoft power point Slides )
It is not necessary, you won't be presenting on a powerpoint. They already have your research proposal

3). What are the likely questions for those in Environmental science / environmental engineering.
They ask you question about your research

4). Do we need to include cost of the research in our proposal?
Are you sure you know your research cost oversea? That wont be bad to state if you knew your research cost
