You are right man, people ain't commenting non this stuffs, its like guys are doing their thing quietly. Please house, I'll like to know, after submitting online, am I to also go and submit at Federal Scholarship Board Abuja. Anyone who knows, please inform me....

You have to understand that this is like royal rumble- everyone is ur opponent and you are everybody's opponent. Nevertheless let's help one another

Guys...the procedure is quite simple but lengthy.

On the eas link you'l login and fill all that is required. Use Ministry of Education or Federal Scholarship board.

after filling all sections you will get to the end of the application process where you will confirm all your details and then click 'Print page'.

On clicking that it will convert all your application pages to pdf which you can save or print out immediately and make 6 copies which you will take to the interview venue whenever that is announced.

my print out last year ran into almost 30 pages and i had to make 6 coloured copies (just to have a quality application) but i saw people with black and white prints so just use the cheapest means possible to make your copies.

God bless.

PS
Politics messed up the whole process cos after the officials asked candidates to go and expect calls before new year's day, they stayed behind to award the scholarships to people and were still asking us to wait and when I discovered that the deadline for submission to the UK HQ had passed I called the London office and they said they had already received the names from Nigeria....so my people...apply and pray hard.

God bless...again!!!
