I do not have up to five(5)distinctions and have already registered for the mobil scholarship award scheme.do i still stand a chance of getting the scholarship? really love this site.thanks alot for the scholarship award updates
I have been invited for the forthcoming federal government scholarship test that will be taking on 19/02/2020 for my masters degree program but the issue is that I have not secured admission in any these universities abroad, I don’t know what to do please I need your help. Is it possible for me to write the test without gotten admission yet. Thank you for your time and response.
I wouldn't categorically state that you do or do not stand a chance. If The scholarship eligibility required that you have up to five distinctions, you would stand a chance if there are little or no applicants with such results. However, scholarship employers are often strict with their rules.
Please when will the registration for Federal government scholarship 2020 – 2021 start. As in when I can apply for this year’s edition?
this schoolarship is some kind of a deceit

@Anezchuny It may be a bit difficult to come across a scholarship specifically for your field of study, but you can apply for scholarships that cover general fields.
I'm not aware of such mathematics competition for now.
