The Breakdown is as follows:
9 Awards for each state in the order of performance at the aptitude test = 324
3 awards for FCT = 3
4 additional awards for each of the 9 oil endowed = 36
TOTAL = 363
47 candidates whose awards were deferred last year due to no fault of theirs are accommodated in the 2010/2011 awards while another 40 awards are for Nigerians who are already working in the government owned agencies within the oil and gas industry.
In this regard, a total of 450 awards have been made in respect of the 2010/2011 PTDF Overseas Scholarship Scheme (M.Sc). Please note that deferred candidates and industry awards are not on the published list.
