PTDF OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME (OSS)..........

Generally,PTDF is guided by four factors in the award of scholarships to

deserving nigerians.

(1) Federal Character: Under which all states/geopolitical zones are given

equal number of scholarships.

(2) Merit: Under which the highest scorers in the apptitude test/interview

from each state and the federal capital territory/geopolitical zones are

selected for the awards.

(3) Oil producing states:In which additional scholarship slots are given to

each of the oil producing atates.

(4) Gender Sensitivity:In which the best female candidate(s) with the

highest scores in the apptitude test from each of the six geopolitical

zones are awarded scholarships.

Nigerians aspiring for scholarship awards under the scheme should

therefore look out for the publications in some national newspaper as

from november calling for applications from interested

candidates.The next thing would be to obtain an application form from their

state scholarship boards or apply online through the PTDF website

(www.ptdfscholarships.org).

THANKS SAMMIE FOR THIS INFO

Thanks man for this info, you too mush

Thanks 4 dis info u ar doing well.

tanx guy. we'l keep our heads up. I LUV Y'ALL.

This is a perfect reminder! Thanks sammie

can someone who will pass out(NYSC) by february 2011 eligible to apply for PTDF scholarship.... pls someone should advice...

Thanks man.

At teleharred, you can apply while in service. I applied while I was serving, and was shortlisted for the test. Just get your documents ready.

1)NYSC is compulsory.(So you mustn't wait till NYSC is over, you can apply in between the service year, the service year gives you the opportunity to serve your fatherland, and at the same time to prepare for tests like PTDF, GRE and so forth).

2)Result should at least be 2.1 or 2.2 with job experience

3)On graduation make sure you get your university transcript ready.

4)At any point have an updated CV.
Have all your documents from WAEC or Primary School Cert, all scanned and kept in a flash or stored in any other form that's handy, so that for whatever application you will have them ready for use.

5)While serving, NYSC, be alert keep contacts with those who share the same dream. Check the PTDF site whenever, they will be advertising. www.ptdf.gov.ng, Normally they advertise for application towards December or early January.

6) You can apply for admission to a UK school, you can get admission easily to the UK and you can apply from early March, April as against September admission, with the hope that you would secure the PTDF scholarship.(Don't wait for PTDF, to secure admission for you as it's wiser to secure it yourself and all they would is to pay for the fees when you have won the award. you can inform PTDF you already have admission to the UK, they would act as your sponsor.)

7)Apply for the exam, and fill the computerized form carefully(Last year scratch cards were sold for the form-N1000). The exam is now electronic.

Cool Study extensively, for the two parts. For general questions (From History, science, education, inventions...), and read for the area you want to specialise in. Make sure you drill yourself mentally with questions on logic, abstract and verbal reasoning. It will boost your IQ. Most aptitude test questions are practiced for, nobody will know it, if not practiced for. So those who don't practice such questions would flopp generally, not matter how good they are academically.

9) Pray to God for help, you just can't be too good enough. And find out more information.

Please house, when is this going to be out? When is the best time to apply for admission?

It's advisable you apply as soon as it comes on stream this year. The truth is that OSS could be phased out in the nearest future.Currently, there are some PTDF scholars test-running that possibility in NIgeria; as professors all over the world are being flown into the country to take them on. As soon as Gulf of Guinea Institute is ready, that'd be it for OSS, 'cause it'd be an excellent world-class research centre in Africa for Africans. PTDF is liaising with AUST to make it happen real fast.

@elonify, we are in the same boat I guess.
Please house, if you still want to see the world beyond Nigeria, then you have to perform very well in your test. It is true that some PTDF overseas scholars are in Nigeria, test-running the gradual phase out of the overseas scheme.
