Hello,
Thank you so much for this video.
My concern is with the commonwealth shared scholarship results as i was applying in April 2021 they did say results will be announced in July...i got accepted to the university of reading UK and my course starts in August but still crickets on the Scholarship please can i know when usually to expect a reply or if they reply unsuccessful candidates

[@VictorAgboga]

All selected candidates have been contacted.

[@MrYasir41]

Victor if you are on commonwealth scholarship 12 months phd research programe then can apply for tier 2 visa after completing course?

[@kiokomukula9076]

Quite informative. Is the scholarship provided by the university or?....which is the sponsoring organization? When did he start applying given that the masters program is usually a year?

[@olayinkajosiahajayi8330]

Started applying for my PhD in October 2019. It's sponsored by the school.

[@The_Iheanachos]

Please how can I go through the Nominating Agency in Nigeria for the Commonwealth scholarship or do I just select any agency in my application and submit. Thanks in anticipation Mr. Victor

[@The_Iheanachos]

For MSc

[@VictorAgboga]

Nomination agency in Nigeria or NGOs that nominate Nigerians. By the way, the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship has a different format of nomination. Kindly consult the Commonwealth website for more details.

[@The_Iheanachos]

Yes sir. I mean NGOs that nominate.

[@benedictanelson2414]

Please do you need to have an unconditional offer before you can be awarded the commonwealth shared scholarship. I have a conditional offer. Will it affect me

[@calebadegboyega2017]

Good day!
I am Adekunle Segun, I am interested in your service.
I want to apply for the Commonwealth scholarship program.
I will first need your assistance on how to get the link to apply/ register on Nigerian application portal for nomination then ask for writing Assistantship.
Thanks
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Is it possible to extend your stay by acquiring a graduate visa? I understand this video was made a year before the introduction of Graduate Immigration Route

[@VictorAgboga]

Not with the Commonwealth scholarship

[@kaluemeka4194]

Hello victor Agboga is it possible for one to have both Commonwealth scholarship and chevening

[@VictorAgboga]

You can apply for both, but cannot do both simultaneously.

[@maryamabdulkarim2592]

Hello victor, I applied for commonwealth scholarship Masters Nigeria-Pakistan2021. The interview is on the 30th of November. I wasn't sent a shortlist message but I saw an official bulletin online saying every candidate who successfully completed the commonwealth scholarship and fellowship plan application should come for an interview. Is this common?should I also make it for the interview? Or am I to receive a shortlist email from them first?

[@VictorAgboga]

There is no shortlist. Attend the interview.
