What is PTDF Scholarship?
The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) Scholarship is a Federal Government agency Scholarship with the goal of developing indigenous human capacity and petroleum technology to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry through its overseas undergraduates and postgraduate scholarship scheme.
