The Federal Scholarship Board, operating under the Federal Ministry of Education, will open applications for its 2026 awards, a merit‑based programme that funds tuition and, in some cases, living expenses for high‑performing students in public universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
Applicants must be Nigerian citizens enrolled in recognised tertiary institutions. Undergraduate candidates need a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 5.0 scale, a valid National Identification Number (NIN) and a solid academic record. Postgraduate candidates must have attained at least Upper Second Class in their previous degree.
All candidates are required to sit for a computer‑based test covering national and global issues and to submit verified documents such as academic transcripts and the NIN slip. Full guidelines and the online portal are available on the Ministry's website.
