ReplyDeleteThis does not mean you should loose hope...all you need do is await and apply to the 2013 scholarships which hopefully would be announced by MTN later this year. All the best!
Can geology student apply
ReplyDelete@Annonymous, Geology wasn't listed as an eligible course of study for the 2012 academic session, but you lose nothing if you apply.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, MTN may decide to review its list of eligible courses for the upcoming (2013 session) round of scholarships.
I wonder why. As a Unilorin student whereby Geology is just a department in my school, I would rather go for Geophysics as my area of study.
