Can I accept the offer before updating my personal details, and should I hold on for my offer letter to be out before updating if I am yet to receive an offer? Thank you
Thanks for the tips. I got the PTDF award and I would like to clarify somethings. You had mentioned in your video that the award letter will be rejected if the information is not correct. So my SOP and application says that I will study Biotechnology, however, I got admission for Public Health and that is what I will be putting forward. I hope this would not affect me
Hi Fatimah, When you are updating your details which is the first step, you'd be able to change your course and the school on the portal and upload your admission letter for the school you selected. So, that wont affect you.
@@AkinOmotesho does this mean that you can only change to the school and course only on the ptdf portal?? I thought you can change to a different school because I saw in one of your videos that one should apply to as much schools as possible. I need more explanation please, thanks
Thank you for your well lecture. I got the scholarship also. My question is that , what if you miss your start date and didn't finished preparing, how can person change to the January session? Thank you.
Hi Habib, Just send an email to your school that you want to change your start date to January. They should be able to send you an updated offer letter with a January start date without having to reapply.
Hi, Your flight ticket would be from Lagos or Abuja to your city of destination or the closest airport to your city. You’d only be given a London flight ticket if that’s your final destination.
Hi, I don’t think so. And that’s because scholars are only given a letter to present to IOM for the test. There’s no movement of cash in that sense. But then, you can reach out to PTDF to confirm.
@@AkinOmotesho in case I am experiencing delay. My program start date is sept 28 and possibly no January intake so would not want to jeopardize my chance of starting in Sept. How long after the induction does the funding letter get released, please? I intend to also start my visa application as soon as I received CAS just as you advised in your video. 🤞 I get everything sorted to resume this September.

Thank you for this information.
Long awaited video 😀
Many thanks Akin for the expository session
Thank you so much for this information. It would be really useful
For UK scholars, if your program offers a placement option, will PTDF cover it?
Thank you Akin

What are the criterias for selection of the PTDF scholarship
Can I use my area councillor as a guarantor?
For UK scholars, will PTDF fund my transit from London to final destination?
Hi,
Your flight ticket would be from Lagos or Abuja to your city of destination or the closest airport to your city. You’d only be given a London flight ticket if that’s your final destination.
Hello. What if you had done your TB test before the scholarship award? Will you be refunded?
Hi,
I don’t think so. And that’s because scholars are only given a letter to present to IOM for the test. There’s no movement of cash in that sense.
But then, you can reach out to PTDF to confirm.
@@AkinOmotesho Alright. Thank you so much
Do you think I should book my flight as well?
Hi,
Why do you want to book your flight? PTDF would do that.
