The initiative supports youth development and improves access to education. Its official scholarship page lists Humanities, Administration, Law, Medicine and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) among the eligible areas of study.
Who can apply?
The scholarship is for full-time students at public universities in Nigeria. Applicants must be in their third or fourth year and have a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 4.0.
Students who do not meet the minimum CGPA or are studying part-time are not eligible.
Applicants should prepare a valid school identity card, their latest school fees receipt, an endorsement letter and an academic transcript or official record showing their current CGPA.
They must also submit an essay of not more than 200 words on “The Transformative Power of Education”. The essay should explain how the scholarship would advance their academic goals and long-term plans, why they deserve the award and how they intend to contribute positively to society.
The foundation says successful applicants will receive full tuition support. It has not specified a cash allowance or living-cost payment on the scholarship page. It also states that there is no application fee.
Application status and deadline
The announcement circulating online gives December 20, 2026, as the application deadline and says applications open on November 10. However, when checked, the foundation’s official application portal displayed a message saying the scholarship was closed. Applicants should confirm that the form is accepting submissions before relying on the advertised opening date.
