True. But I think the discussions are also very good to ease off the tension as well as provide useful information to those who are not in the know.

@Dmainman
Do you know if article publications especially international publications count in favour of a PhD Scholarship candidate during the interview stage.
Also is there any negative connotation attached to single authored articles as opposed to multiple co-authored articles by the ptdf interview panelist in their scoring process.Thank you

I know this doesn't relate to PTDF but today is my BIRTHDAY.....it would mean alot if I get wishes on here....thanks

It could count in favour

SUMMARY

The scholarship scheme for this session
has been concluded. The following could b
useful for those who intend to apply next
year:

ON MSC EXAMS

a. Read this thread and my suggestions on past questions and useful test websites that I posted few weeks prior to d examination. Luckily, some questions category were copied from these sites.

b. During the period of examination, do not tell anyone the question nor answer. Do not even tell
anyone d question source. Do not post on nairaland during this period to give another person an edge which could even affect u. I love neutrality. You can post this when d exam is over in all centres.

c. Do not panic and choose what u didn't prepare
for because people are saying a particular field is difficult. Just do what u are prepared for.

ON PHD

a. Those who are lecturers have upper hand in
obtaining the scholarship as well as those working in d petroleum industry. Hence, d reason of asking your employment status with proof.

b. Know your research proposal and about PTDF e.g mandates, vision, mission, executive secretary. e.t.c

c. Try and get free tuition admission. Countries like Germany and Finland offer free PhD tuition. Some USA or Canadian school can offer free tuition too. Continued.......

Continued.....,

e.g a freind came in with two admission letter. One
in a top PTDF recommended university with no scholarship while the other is a lowly ranked, non-affiliated PTDF university but with free tuition. PTDF asked him, "Would you like to attend d
free tuition university whereby we will only provide
living allowance". Of course, he said yes.

4. Be composed during d interview and ensure eye
contact with d panellist. There is also a special mark for those who got distinction in their MSc too as well as those whose research proposal pinpoints on Niger Delta, oil and gas industry in Nigeria and those who answered PTDF question
correctly.

Overall, God/ALLAH is in control of those who eventually wins it. I wish u all success. Follow my facebook page often (http://facebook.com/dmainmanfoundation). I will b writing on ways of obtaining scholarship soon. Watch out. Bye for now

DMainMan:

It changes due to foreign immigration policy. But what I know is that the money is more than ok.

I have a friend among last year foreign scholars
£1500 per month for regions outside london
£1700 per month for london schools.

Gentleman, you don't have to be supercilious about it, just pass your message across with civility. After all, this is the first time you are pointing that out to people.

Sorry sir, its actually about £1150/month for accommodation and living expenses (stipends for short), £1160 for warm clothings and laptop (one off payment). I think for some parts of the world (I'm sure of London), they receive about £250 more because accommodation there is highly expensive. Payments are made bi-annually i.e. Six months @ a go and twice a year.

Attached letter

mystikal:


Are u putting accommodation in that amount too? Well, those that left February this year, £750 for accommodation per month, £800 for living expenses per month. There is a one off payment for £500 for laptop, and some other one off payments I can't remember noe.

A scholar told me 1200 as at then. Based on your attachment, it seems they have increased monthly stipend to 1550

My question is have they paid last year LSS beneficiaries?

Dmainman, please attend to this question. I learnt ptdf is quite fond of delaying payment for LSS recipients.

In truth, you don't need Nigeria's scholarship. mathematics is a hot cake in US institutions. Most mathematics dept fully fund their master and PhD students. You need to check institutions in US and probably write GRE
