The Scholarships are awarded each academic session to Visually Impaired Students studying any discipline in Public Universities, Polytechnics or Colleges of Education in the country.

The management said the scholarship scheme was meant to empower Nigerian youths and promote academic excellence in the country’s public tertiary institutions.

The visually impaired beneficiaries are required to maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.5 while the regular Students who benefit from the Science and Technology (STEM) Scholarship are required to maintain a CGPA of at least 3.5.

MTN Foundation, the sponsor also provides scholarships to the top 10 UTME candidates as announced by JAMB each year, with the beneficiaries enjoying sponsorship from their first year all through to graduation, once they maintain the required CGPA.
