In a world where education is a key determinant of success, not every student has the privilege to pursue his or her dreams due to one reason or the other, one of which is financial constraints.
Recognizing this disparity, we have taken a significant step towards bridging the educational gap by establishing a scholarship program for aspirants into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
As we all know, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) is a crucial step for every Nigerian student seeking admission into higher education institutions. Unfortunately, many talented and deserving students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds are unable to afford the cost of JAMB forms, hindering their dreams of pursuing higher education.
Our target is to sponsor 100 JAMB Forms for indigent secondary school students, each priced at NGN 6,200.
Additionally, our target is to grant 1st year scholarships to the top three highest scorers who gain admission into a public tertiary institution in Nigeria.
Eligibility Criteria
This program is designed to support university aspirants who exhibit quality academic achievements, leadership qualities, and a genuine desire to contribute positively to their communities. The selection process is thorough, ensuring that those chosen truly embody the values of determination, resilience, and a commitment to academic excellence.
- Age Group: Applicants should be between 15 and 21 years old.
- Target Group: This scholarship is aimed at financially disadvantaged secondary school students or recent graduates.
- Qualities Sought: Ideal candidates should exhibit strong academic performance, leadership potential, and a commitment to community betterment.
- Selection Process: Candidates will be chosen based on perseverance, resilience, and academic dedication.
Offered Benefits
The selected scholars not only receive financial assistance to cover the cost of the JAMB form, the top 3 scorers who gain admission into a federal or state owned tertiary institution in Nigeria also gain a scholarship which includes university tuition fees, and a stipend for textbooks and other educational expenses.
Additionally, students also gain access to mentorship programs, workshops, and networking opportunities. The holistic approach of Project Hope Scholarship Program aims to foster an environment where students can thrive academically and personally
