    1. @Annonymous, you're quite right about this. But since the link was still active as at yesterday, and several students actually DID apply over the last few days, I'll advice you re-check in the next 24hours.

      Meanwhile, i have sent the providers a mail seeking explanations on the current situation. You may also wish to send them a mail too. Remain calm, and i am sure this will all work out fine sooner than later.

      Cheers!

    1. Hello, the online form to fill in on the official website (via the link we provided above) was active for about 6 days and many students actually applied.
      However, for no reason at all that we can deduce, the scholarship providers i.e. total elf, suddenly removed the active link on their site on that 6th day.

      We've written to them on this and even advised others to write too, but total has refused to offer any explanation.

      Study & Scholarships is really sorry about this. But we truly cannot coerce any of the scholarship providers to give an explanation if they dont want to. We continue to monitor their site, and would tell you once the link is up and active again.

    1. Hello, strictly speaking Architecture isn't listed on the approved courses; but i believe it should be one of the Environmental sciences. For this you may need to confirm from your dean or the scholarship providers. Good luck!

    2. Architecture is listed under college of science.

  11. @admin im uploading my documents nw,pls wats d difference between 'WAEC' and 'OLVL' ?,or are they d same thing

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hello @Annonymous, to the best of our knowledge, there is no exam relevant to the Nigerian student known as OLVL. Therefore, if you saw this, it must be a typo error.
      We believe OLVL as you referred to means O'Level. Thus your WAEC and your O'Level result should mean one and the same thing! Goodluck as you upload your documents!

      For answers more specific and detailed than this, please contact the official providers via the 'CONTACT' address supplied in the article above. Goodluck to you!

  16. Sorry to say,,, but i havent seen any scholarship, in the whole site,covering Religion and Social work students,,, is it that the courses are not recognised or what?

    1. Hi Rosemary, we welcome constructive criticisms. Thank you for your comment.
      Scholarships offered under the 'Any field' tag applies to ALL courses including Religion and Social work, if these fields are available as a course at the participating institutions.

      Although we also have 'Religious scholarships', however, thank you for drawing our attention to the fact that we do not have as many scholarships as may be desirable covering Religion and Social work on their own. We will work over the coming weeks/months to rectify this!
