What to do After Winning the NNPC/Total Scholarship 2021

• Winners of the NNPC/Total Scholarship 2021 will need to scale through a series of process to activate their acceptance.
• To confirm if you have won the NNPC/Total Scholarship 2021 scholarship applicants will need to either follow the May/June 2022 edition of the Guardian and ThisDay Newspapers or check the RESULT section on scholarships.Totalcsredu.com.
• Award Letter and Acceptance Form will be sent to the email addresses of the successful applicants provided during registration and application.
• From here, candidates should thoroughly peruse every detail in the award letter, ensuring all rules are fully complied with.
• Within two (2) weeks from the date of award publication, every successful candidate is mandated to submit a complete Acceptance Form online. This step is necessary that a failure forward a complete Acceptance Form voids the applicant’s offer.
• Within the Acceptance Form is a portion which has to be completed and signed by either the Head of Department, Dean of Faculty or Dean of Student Affairs, according to the accessibility, availability or preference of the candidate. Applicants who fail to meet this key detail which would have affirmed their registration as a student of the institution will see their award voided.
• In the Acceptance Form of the NNPC/Total Scholarship 2021 is a section dedicated exclusively to bank information of the candidate. Here, awardees are required to provide their bank account details, including their BVN and bank account number, a phrase that is music to the ears of Nigerians.

However the most important swipe of the pen in this section will be administered by the Bank Official, who will sign on the document, to attest that the account is not a ‘student’ account or one limited in any form from receiving the scholarship payment. Applicants who fail to provide the requested details in this section might be victims of delayed, or worse, failed payments.

• The final step will see candidates crosscheck their Acceptance Form and send.
• Although the Acceptance Form of the NNPC/Total Scholarship 2021 can be completed and sent directly in the mail box, the NNPC/Total body recommends an alternate route.
• Candidates are advised to print the scanned Acceptance Form, scan the completed form and send it back via email to scholarships.csredu@Total.com. This will ensure a quicker delivery of the document.
