NIFESS Undergraduate Scholarship 2023/2024

The NIFESS Scholarship and Grant Trust Fund (NSGTF) is a financial reserve supported by private organizations and NGOs to mitigate the impacts of Nigeria’s economic vulnerability. It aims to provide financial assistance to 10,000 students and professionals specializing in social sciences and related fields.

The assistance provided includes:

1. Undergraduate Scholarship
2. Undergraduate Final Year Research Project Grant
3. Post-Graduate Scholarship
4. Post-Graduate Research Grant of up to 1,000,000 NGN (subject to financial needs assessment and approval from the NiFESS Scholarship and Grant Board)
