In line with our unwavering commitment to building a more inclusive and knowledge-driven nation, I am pleased to announce a landmark reform of Nigeria’s national scholarship programme—our most ambitious overhaul in more than a decade.

Through the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Government has significantly increased scholarship grants across all academic levels, easing the financial burden on students and families, while enhancing access to quality education for all.

This initiative is a key pillar of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which places education at the heart of Nigeria’s transformation into a $1 trillion economy. In this light, the revised programme emphasizes merit, equity, and relevance to national development priorities—particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medical Sciences (STEMM), and vocational education.

With a total budget of ₦6 billion allocated for the 2025–2026 cycle, this reform is more than a policy— it is a bold national investment in our youth, our future, and our collective prosperity. We are not just funding education—we are building the human capital foundation for Nigeria’s long-term success.

I remain fully committed to ensuring this renewed scholarship programme delivers on its promise, and I call on all stakeholders—students, parents, institutions, and the broader public—to work with us in realizing the full potential of this transformative initiative.
