About MTN Scholarships for Nigerian Undergraduates

MTN Scholarships, part of our Youth Development Cause, recognize and reward high-performing Nigerian students in Public Tertiary Institutions. We offer three scholarship categories:

  • Science & Technology Scholarships: Our flagship program, established in 2010, supports eligible 300-level students studying Science & Technology-related courses in Nigerian Public Tertiary Institutions (Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education).
  • Scholarships for Blind Students: Introduced in 2012, this category is designed for eligible 200 and 300-level blind students pursuing any course in Nigerian Public Tertiary Institutions.
  • UTME Scholarships: Added in 2020, the top 10 scoring candidates of the UTME (announced by JAMB) automatically qualify for this scholarship. Successful candidates receive scholarships from their 100 level through graduation, subject to maintaining the required grades.
