The Bet9ja Foundation has officially announced the opening of applications for its Undergraduate Scholarship Program, reaffirming its commitment to supporting youth education and empowerment in Nigeria. The foundation described the initiative as part of its mission to “implement transformative schemes that foster youth development” and strengthen national growth through education.
According to the Bet9ja Foundation, “access to quality education is a powerful tool for personal growth, community advancement, and national development.” The scholarship aims to cover full tuition for students currently studying in public Nigerian universities, helping to ease the financial burden of education and encourage academic excellence. There is no application fee required for participation.
The scholarship is open to students in public universities across different fields, including Humanities, Administration, Law, Medicine, and STEM disciplines. Applicants must be in their third or fourth year of study and must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.0 or higher to qualify.
As part of the application process, candidates are required to submit a 200-word essay on the topic “The Transformative Power of Education.” In the essay, students should describe how education has influenced their personal growth, share specific experiences, and explain why they deserve the scholarship and how it will help them make a positive impact in society.
To apply, interested candidates must prepare their supporting documents, including a school ID card, the last school fees receipt, an endorsement letter, and an academic transcript showing their current CGPA. Applications are to be submitted online through the foundation’s official portal at bet9jafoundation.org/scholarship.
The Bet9ja Foundation stated that shortlisted applicants will be contacted, and the final selection results will be communicated to successful candidates in due course.
