The Airtel Africa Foundation has opened calls for applications for its Undergraduate Tech Scholarship in Nigeria, reports ITREALMS.
The scheme is designed to provide comprehensive financial support to high-achieving, first-year university students who are pursuing studies in technology and related disciplines, but face financial barriers.
The scholarship offers substantial support, including full tuition, accommodation allowance, and essential study materials for eligible 100-level students. This initiative is a core component of the Foundation's F.E.E.D. agenda, which focuses on Financial Empowerment, Education, Environmental Protection, and Digital Inclusion.
Airtel Nigeria CEO, Dinesh Balsingh, urged students to seize this valuable opportunity. He emphasized the scholarship's role in national development, stating that "as an organisation, Airtel is determined to build a platform for aspiring young Nigerians to learn, innovate and lead in the country’s expanding technology landscape.”
Applications are open to students pursuing courses such as Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, and other ICT-related disciplines. The scholarship targets students from the following seven participating universities: University of Lagos, University of Nigeria Nsukka, Ahmadu Bello University, University of Benin, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ilorin, and Tai Solarin University of Education.
Dr. Segun Ogunsanya, Chairman of the Airtel Africa Foundation, affirmed that the scholarship demonstrates the organisation’s commitment to nurturing Africa’s next generation of digital leaders. “Young Africans are brimming with talent and ambition. What many need is a fair chance to pursue their education without financial pressure. This scholarship reflects our belief that investing in their growth will strengthen communities, empower families, and expand the continent’s digital future,” he said.
Applicants must meet the following strict academic and enrollment criteria: they must be enrolled in 100-level, have scored a minimum of 230 in JAMB, and hold a minimum of five credits in WAEC, including English and Mathematics, in a single sitting.
