Topic: NDDC Post Graduate Foreign Scholarship Program 2011

Are u guys talking about slot for masters only or slots for ph.D?
...sorry am jus being curious.

I was thinking the total 200 slots will be shared by all states...am lost,pls some1 clearify us.

I thought someone said that they would double d intake of candidates this year?
Does anyone know when the final list of successful scholars would be released?

Last week as they said. The list of those successful wil be published next week and payments will start upper week.

Is the list going to be published on their website or newspaper? pls reply

Did they say how many numbers they would like to take this year? Someone said only 4 slots for masters in Edo state, I honestly find this ridiculous! Anyone with strong links should please confirm this for us, God help His Children!

Obviously states like Delta will take a large quota of the scholarship.From the previous shortlisted candidates, im sure you guys saw how some states had few candidates whjile others had a lot. Also certain local govts will be considered over others in some states.For example the ilaje local govt in ondo because thats where oil can be found (so i heard).
I also heard that the budget for this year has been doubled which means, if they sponsored a total of 200 last year, we should be considering 400 this year. Please don't expect the 400 to be shared evenly.Like i said, some states will get a larget quota.

The final shortlisted candidates list will come out first week in August as i heard. NDDC is not helping with your visa so i suggest, if you have faith or you know someone in NDDC that can confirm you will be shortlisted, start organizing visa application as they do not want anybody deferring their admission this time around.

Good luck guys.Only GOD can bless us.

Am sorry i meant next week and not last week. they said it will be published on the dailies and probably on their site.

@jobhunter, ure not correct concerning the number of persons to be shortlisted. The Director of Education and Health himself addressed us and said at of the 1500 persons that were invited, they will only be taking 200persons.

We should try and keep this thread going...show everybody will be informed so that we don't miss the release of the final list...all za best to y'all...

@ike4moni, the chairman who adressed us told us only that 200 was the number taken for last year. He said nothing of such concerning this year
