Congratulations to the selected candidates🎉. And for those of us not selected, God will ease our affairs all 😢 because he is the best planner and disposal of all affairs. Commiting suicide or being damaged by this doesn’t really worth it though. Great things than this lie ahead of us all if you believe in him.
Congratulations to the selected candidates.

After applying four times, I finally made it! 🙏 I’m so grateful to CRF scholarshipp for not giving up on me. I promise to make the most of this scholarship!
I just saw my name on the shortlist! I’m in tears 😭😭 Thank you CRF for beleiving in students like me. This will go a long way in supporting my final year project.
Congratulations to the selected candidate.
Wow, congrats to the shortlisted candidates. Well, my query is to throw CRF. I must say I am quite disheartened that the team failed to acknowledge my email sent to them weeks ago. It was about the slowed academic calendar of my university, the University of Lagos. The federal government was undergoing renovations on our hostels which led to our delayed resumption a d ultimately delayed exams and results. As such I didn’t have the results to present to the team. I emailed you all and without a response I hoped that that wouldn’t hamper my chances. Unfortunately, even though I scored a 60% on the aptitude test and the minimum shortlisted was 49%, I still wasn’t contacted nor was I shortlisted. Please CRF team look into this. Thank you
Hmmmm.. congratulations too the selected Ones and I hope @crf can reconsider some people because s
Congratulations too the selected Ones and I hope @crf can still reconsider some people because they are really depending on it, I am also hoping they reconsider me too, I really need this
I applied for Batch B last year and didn’t get in, but I didn’t lose hope. Now I’ve been shortlisted, and it feels so good.
I choose not to be discouraged after my fourth trial failed me because God is with me
