The bank said on Thursday that the announcement reflects a major step in its commitment to long-term, inclusive national development through strategic investment in human capital.

Also, the bank stated that: “At its core, the Beyond Education program is built not just to provide scholarships, but to create real-world pathways to employment and socio-economic mobility.”

Launched in June 2025, Beyond Education is Sterling Bank’s most ambitious education-focused intervention to date. The scholarship fully covers undergraduate tuition at two forward-looking, accredited institutions: Miva Open University, Nigeria’s first licensed online private university, and Hillside University of Science & Technology (HUST), a STEM-centred campus in Ekiti State.

“Unlike conventional scholarship programmes, Beyond Education is intentionally designed to support Nigeria’s critical development agenda. It aligns with Sterling’s HEART strategy, an investment framework focused on Health, Education, Agriculture, Renewable Energy, and Transportation. The goal is to build a talent pipeline for sectors vital to the country’s future,” it stated.
