MTN Scholarship Scheme 2024

MTN Scholarship Scheme is currently open for application from eligible applicants for the 2024 academic session.

MTN Nigeria Foundation Science and Technology Scholarship

The scholarship Scheme  was established by MTN Nigeria Communications Limited in July 2004 to drive MTN Nigeria’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives aimed at improving the quality of lives in communities across the country.
This foundation invites applications from high performing full time second year students studying in public tertiary institutions (universities, polytechnics and colleges of education) in Nigeria. The scholarship provides financial assistance to students who might otherwise be unable to pay for their tertiary education and aims to recognize and reward academic excellence.

Impact of the Scholarship

The Foundation is funded by up to 1% PAT (Profit after Tax) from MTN Nigeria and deploys a unique brand of wide impact and project-driven corporate social investment programmes which have won several accolades.
It has also created a vibrant network of local and international partner organisations through which its various projects are executed.

Through its efforts, the MTN Foundation has made huge impact and has become a model for good corporate citizenship, endorsed by a wide variety of stakeholders, Government, Regulators, Tax authorities, and the beneficiaries of its numerous projects.

The scholarship is renewed every year until graduation for existing awardees provided they have maintained a minimum of 3.5CGPA/3.0GPA or its equivalent (Second Class Upper/Upper Credit) while new applications when advertised are welcome from full time students in their second year and second semester of study.
