1. Do I have to pay any money to fill the form?
No. You are not required to pay any money. After filling the form, your scholarships will be processed free of charge in advance, using the details you supplied. When you have been awarded the scholarship(s) and you receive the scholarship payment(s), you will be required to show appreciation. This appreciation is our service charge for the process (the services rendered) and it is compulsory. For more details about this, please check How it works!
2. How long will it take for me to get my first scholarship after submitting my details?
Normally, it takes about 3-6 months for you to expect your first scholarship after submitting the necessary details (i.e the Scholarship Form and the Scanned Documents). However, this time frame is not specific. Sometimes, it may be earlier or later than this.
3. How will I receive the scholarship money if I’m successful?
The scholarship money will be paid directly into your personal bank account by the scholarship body. If we initially processed the scholarship free of charge in advance, then you will be required to send us a specific amount for appreciation (our service charge).
4. Are my details safe?
Yes. All your information submitted on our portal are safe and will never be used for any other purpose except for applying for scholarships on your behalf.
5. Can I win more than one scholarship?
Yes. You can enjoy up to 3-7 different scholarships at the same time. This is not illegal. Many of the scholarships are independent. Some scholarship providers willingly award their scholarships to qualified students, not minding whether they are already enjoying other scholarships or not. Meanwhile, some other scholarship providers don’t allow this. That is why out of about twenty one (21) regular Nigerian Undergraduate Scholarships that usually come out every year, one candidate can only enjoy a maximum of about 3-7 different scholarships at the same time.
6. After submitting my details now, do I have to submit them again for another scholarship?
No. You only need to submit your details once. In other words, once you have filled the Scholarship Form and sent (or uploaded) your Scanned Documents, you don’t need to repeat the process. Those details will be used for all the scholarships we are processing for you. Meanwhile, if you wish to update any of your details at any time, you can do so by sending a mail to info@tertiaryscholarshiplinks.com
7. Will I be notified of the scholarships when they are out?
You may receive updates every time a new scholarship is out, but you have no need to worry. We may go ahead and apply for the scholarship on your behalf based on the details you have supplied.
8. Will I write exam before I will get the scholarship?
For some of the scholarships, there is no exam and no interview. In such cases, nothing concerns you after submitting your details via this website. We know what to do to ensure you win. Some scholarships have online exam and we already know what should be done. For few scholarships that require physical exam, we may prepare you for the exam. You may need to participate in the exam by yourself. After the exam, we know what to do.
9. Will my academic details be officially verified before I will be awarded a scholarship?
Yes! The company/body awarding you the scholarship may officially and confidentially verify your academic details through the appropriate authorities in your institution. They may also verify your origin details. You are responsible for the correctness of every piece of information you supply to us.
10. How will I know if I have been awarded a scholarship in this process?
The company/body that has awarded you the scholarship may notify you directly through email message and SMS. In addition, our company will fully notify you through Call/SMS/WhatsApp and email.
11. How do I know if I’m eligible to fill the form?
Provided you are a citizen of Nigeria and currently schooling in any Nigerian tertiary institution (Federal, State or Private), you are eligible for some scholarships no matter your current level or state of origin. In other words, if you meet the above criteria, you are eligible to fill the form.
12. CGPA requirements: What CGPA do I have to maintain in order to enjoy the scholarships?
Normally, different scholarships require different minimum CGPAs.
BASED ON A 5-POINT CGPA SCALE
Considering about twenty-one (21) different Nigerian Undergraduate Scholarships that usually come out every year: There are about three different scholarships that require a minimum CGPA of 2.50; which means that if your current CGPA is 2.50 or above, you are eligible for some scholarships. About nine other scholarships require a minimum of 3.00. About six other scholarships require a minimum of 3.50. While about three scholarships require a minimum CGPA of 4.00 on a 5-point scale.
To be specific, the higher your CGPA, the more scholarships you will be eligible for. If your CGPA is 4.00 and above, then you are eligible for all the scholarships.
The verification of CGPA is officially and confidentially carried out by the scholarship provider directly through the appropriate authority in your institution.
Basically, for each scholarship, the first verification is done before the first payment. Anyone that is not up to the required minimum CGPA will be disqualified even if he/she has successfully passed other screening processes. After other screening exercises, the scholarship will be awarded to those that meet the CGPA requirements. In any case where the scholarship is awarded before the CGPA verification, those that do not meet the CGPA requirements would still be disqualified after the verification. In other words, such awardees will not receive the scholarship payments. Also, there is usually a yearly verification of current CGPA before each payment. Whenever your CGPA falls below the required minimum, you may be removed from the scheme or at least you will not receive payment for that year. When you have already been awarded a scholarship, the only requirement for you to keep receiving the yearly payment is to keep meeting up the minimum CGPA; no further screening exercise.
In summary, the scholarships are highly dependent on your CGPA. You need to put in your best efforts in your studies so that when you get a scholarship, you will not be disqualified just because of your CGPA; it has happened to many candidates and it wasn’t funny. When you maintain a high CGPA, you have nothing to worry about regarding your scholarships.
Note also that the TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIP LINKS LTD (RC 1512615) may also officially and confidentially verify your CGPA through your institution in the course of processing certain scholarships for you. This verification may be done outside your notice.
Finally, there is nothing to be afraid of regarding the official verification of your CGPA. There is no harm associated with it and there is no other punishment for low CGPA except perhaps the disqualification. The essence of these detailed clarifications is to keep you fully informed so that you won’t lose any scholarship based on your CGPA.
13. There was no space for me to supply/upload my CGPA while filling the Scholarship Form. How can the TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIP LINKS LTD (RC 1512615) know my CGPA?
The TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIP LINKS LTD (RC 1512615) has the official capacity to get your correct CGPA directly through the appropriate authority in your institution. We can officially retrieve your CGPA through any of these authorities in your institution:
i. The Registrar
ii. The Dean of Student Affairs
iii. The HOD of your department
iv. The Exams and Records Officer
v. The Class Adviser
etc
Normally, this will be done without your notice.
In some cases also, you may be required to get a signed and stamped copy of your result (showing your CGPA) and send to us. You can get this from any of the authorities listed above. Meanwhile, you don’t need to do this unless we instruct you to do so.
14. I am a 100 level student (year one). I don’t have a CGPA yet. Can I apply? If yes, how will the CGPA requirements affect my scholarships?
Yes, you can apply. You are eligible for all the scholarships.
As a 100 level student, your CGPA is not yet necessary. You can win scholarships and receive the payments without a CGPA. Actually, it is very much easier to secure many scholarships for someone in 100 level since the CGPA is not usually being considered in most cases. As a 100 level student, you can receive the first scholarship payment without a CGPA.
But you need to take note of the CGPA requirements (in questions 12 & 13) because when you reach 200 level, your 100 level CGPA will be needed and if it falls below the minimum, you may be disqualified. If you are disqualified for a particular scholarship you are already enjoying, it means that you will not receive further payments for that scholarship. Therefore, you need to study well to get a good 100 level CGPA so that when you get to 200 level and above, your CGPA won’t affect your scholarships.
