As an initiative of our Youth Development Motive, MTN Scholarships offer a yearly opportunity for honoring and rewarding committed, accomplished students from all Nigerian public tertiary institutions.
Since 2010, our flagship program has been available to qualified 300-level students enrolled in Science and Technology-related courses in Nigerian public tertiary institutions (colleges of education, universities, and polytechnics).
300 deserving students will receive scholarships totaling N200,000.00 every year until they graduate, as long as they maintain the necessary GPA.
