Scholarships For Nigerian Students

This is a comprehensive list of Scholarships for Nigerian Students – it comprises of scholarship awards available to Nigerian students for during the 2013/2014 academic year. The list contains both scholarships for studying in Nigeria and those for studying abroad.

These financial aids for Nigerian students are to further their education both at Undergraduate and Postgraduate (Masters, PhD and postdoctoral programs for Nigerian students) levels. Scholarships are awarded based upon various criteria, which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award.

This list of scholarships covers a wide range of specialties including Humanities Arts and Social Sciences, Science, Agriculture and Engineering, Applied Sciences, Biotechnology, Genetics, Soil Science, MBA, Banking and Finance, Literature, American Studies, Communication, Computer Science and Data Processing, Education, Industrial Arts, Trade and Technology, Law, Mathematical Sciences and Medical Sciences.

Note that some of the scholarships to study abroad are not just for Nigerian Students. Some are scholarships/grants listed for students from developing countries of which Nigeria is included. Some of the scholarships offered to students already studying in Nigerian Universities often have various criteria such as CGPA, accreditation status of your course of study, JAMB admission letter (meaning that you must have done JAMB online registration, sit for UTME, passed and offered admission) and more.

We have received some messages from candidates who are applying for the nigerian navy recruitment and the nigerian airforce recruitment asking for scholarships they can apply for. Let us also use this medium that those two are recruitment exercises and they are more like taking up a job. It is different from admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy which involves going into classroom.  The same thing applies to those applying for nigerian army recruitment. That is just by the way – let’s go back to the main topic of the article.
