There are unusual circumstances surrounding this year's award. During the award's ceremony, you all will be able to raise the issue on open grounds (I'm almost certain all 10 awardees will be in the same fix. It will even be more critical for US awardees since almost all US schools resume before September).

In any case, you guys can raise the point that Mobil (or NNPC) should help get proprietary clearance for speedy visa application, or allow you defer for a year. There will be strength in numbers since most, if not all, will be in the same shoes.

But, get the award first.....

Thanks for this. Now is time to go get it!

@ macfiesta et al: ATTN PLS-checkup ur pm.

I don't think they will allow you defer. However, things might be different this year since they are already way behind schedule as some schools will soon be resuming. But remember that the essence of the award is for mobil and nnpc to say they have used the federal money to send 10 people to further their studies in some of the world's best universities.

As per if mobil recruits their scholars, you would be given some statistics of 'return ratio' during the award ceremony, but will also be told you are not bound to work with them neither are they under any obligation to employ you. Simply put, for the past couple of years, being a mobil scholar does not guarantee you a job. Let's keep hoping this will change from now on.

Finally with regards to the interviews. Let me first congratulate those called. Give it your best shot. As my boss triple-c has stated, ensure you show them why they should be spending that much money on you. Make up your answer to that question, right now! Don't limit yourself. Just be convincing. A friend of mine said he would use the exposure and education to enter nigerian politics and make the best use of our resources....and he got the award! Also, be ready to describe ur undegraduate project succinctly to engineers and hr personnel (not too technical but also showing engineering research ability). To emphasize triple-c, if your first degree is different from your intended second degree, be ready with a very good reason why you changed.

All the best guys.

N/b: Just like triple-c said, for those that finally get the call for the award, you need to hasten the visa process. I would advise going as a group to the consultants triple-c mentioned.

i sincerely say warmth congratulation to those that were invited, and i wish them success and gods favour in their upcoming interview.

Though i put mybestas never before but was not invited, god knows the best for me, in all he is a faithfull and kind god.

Please i will love and apreciate if anybody can help me on the guideline to defering my admission for next year. Thanks in anticipation,,

@ successfl just do a mail to the e-mail add on your admission letter stating what exactly you want to do about the admission. Simple!!

thanks Ghenga

Those that went for the scholarship interview, should give us update, on how it went.
