MTN Foundation Science & Technology Scholarship

The MTN Foundation Science & Technology Scholarship is a corporate scholarship programme administered by MTN Foundation Nigeria, supporting eligible Nigerian students pursuing undergraduate education. The scholarship is part of MTN Foundation Nigeria's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme supporting Nigerian education, brand-building and talent pipeline development. Corporate scholarships typically include mentorship, internship opportunities and direct connections to graduate employment with the sponsoring organisation. The award represents both financial support and an important recognition of academic achievement, contributing to broadening access to quality education and supporting Nigeria's human capital development. Successful recipients gain access to the scholarship's network of current beneficiaries and alumni, often providing valuable professional connections and mentorship opportunities throughout their careers.

General eligibility for the MTN Foundation Science & Technology Scholarship typically includes: Nigerian nationality (or where applicable, eligibility to study in Nigeria), strong academic record (typically minimum CGPA of 3.5/5.0 or equivalent at undergraduate level for postgraduate scholarships, and excellent SSCE results for undergraduate scholarships), age below the upper limit set by the scholarship (typically 35 years for postgraduate, 21-25 years for undergraduate first-time applicants). Specific eligibility may be limited by course of study, host institution, financial need or other criteria set by the scholarship provider. Applicants holding multiple ongoing scholarships are typically disqualified, and any misrepresentation in the application leads to disqualification or revocation of the award if discovered after selection.
