NIFESS Undergraduate Scholarship for Nigerian Students 2023

The NIFESS Undergraduate Scholarship and Grant Trust Fund is a financial support system established by private organizations and NGOs. Its goal is to help 10,000 students and professionals studying social sciences and related subjects in Nigeria. This is because there isn’t enough financial support for these students in Nigerian universities. The NSGTF serves as a platform where members of NIFESS, including students and professionals, can access free financial aid for each academic session.

1. Financial Help for Undergraduates: Get support during your undergraduate studies.
2. Funding for Final Year Research Projects: Money specifically for your research project in your last year.
