The scholarship, organised by NNPC Limited, TotalEnergies and their corporate partners, targets young Nigerians seeking postgraduate education in Management Science, Engineering and Geosciences.
According to information published on the official TotalEnergies scholarship portal, registration commenced on November 3, 2026, and will close on January 31, 2027.
Successful applicants will receive a full-board scholarship to study at universities in France, reducing the financial burden associated with international postgraduate education and providing beneficiaries with academic exposure, specialist training and professional development opportunities.
The organisers noted that applying to a public university in France could provide an additional advantage during the selection process.
To qualify, candidates must be Nigerian graduates with at least a Second Class Upper university degree obtained within the past five years.
Applicants must also have completed the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme before submitting their applications.
The scholarship is specifically for master’s degree studies and should not be confused with the separate NNPC/TotalEnergies National Merit Scholarship for Nigerian undergraduates.
TotalEnergies warned that applications are entirely free, adding that it neither demands payment nor authorises agents to secure scholarship placements for candidates.
Only applications submitted through the official scholarship website will be considered, while only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
