What changed on the portal?

According to the statement signed by NUBASS National President Comr. Muhammad Sulaiman Abdulwahab, the portal now lets applicants see their current status and provides clearer information about disqualifications. Key enhancements include:

• Status verification: Applicants can see if they have been qualified or disqualified.
• Transparent feedback: The portal lists reasons when an application is disqualified.
• Right to appeal: Disqualified applicants may submit a request for review through the portal within the timeframe set by the scholarship administrators.

Immediate actions every applicant should take

1. Log in to your scholarship dashboard — check your application status right away.
2. Read any feedback carefully if you are marked disqualified. The portal should state specific reasons.
3. Prepare and submit an appeal promptly if you believe the decision is in error. Appeals normally have strict deadlines, so act immediately.
4. Keep records: Take screenshots of your dashboard, any feedback messages, and a copy of your submitted appeal for your records.
5. Contact support if needed: If the portal information is unclear, reach out to NUBASS for guidance at [email protected] (email as provided by NUBASS). Also keep a note of any contact details you find on the official Bauchi State scholarship pages.

How to prepare a strong appeal

An effective appeal explains the error or provides missing evidence. Include the following where relevant:

• Your full name, application ID or reference (as shown on the portal), and contact details.
• Clear statement of what you are asking for (review of disqualification or reconsideration).
• Specific response to the disqualification reason listed on the portal.
• Supporting documents: certified copies of certificates, admission letters, identification, payment receipts or any proof referenced in your application.
• Polite, factual tone — avoid emotional language; focus on evidence and clarity.

Use the sample appeal template below as a starting point. Edit it to match your situation and attach all relevant documents.
