PTDF Scholarship 2017
(Overseas & Local)
The Oversea Scholarship
Scheme (OSS) was institute by the Petroleum Technology Development Fund as a
short-term measure to address identified skills gaps, pending the outcome of
the various capacity building efforts being made to enable our domestic
universities effectively handle the task of grooming professionals in oil and
gas related disciplines. As such, the Fund reserves the right to allocate
prospective applicants to scholarships institution and field/programmes
targeted at filling those gaps.
Furthermore with the
numerous upgrade programmes executed by the Fund in some Federal Universities
in Nigeria; emphasis has shifted to training Nigerians in-country.
Consequently, only a limited number of candidates will be sponsored overseas
and the rest in Nigerian Universities. NNPC
