NNPC SNEPCo National University Scholarship 2026 for Nigerian Students

Yes, Nigerian students in their second year at public universities can still apply for the NNPC/SNEPCo National University Scholarship 2026, which provides a yearly grant until they finish their degree if they keep their grades strong.

Tuition and living costs keep rising, and many capable students need steady support that does not force them to drop out or take on heavy loans. This scheme from NNPC and SNEPCo targets exactly that group.

What the Scholarship Offers

It gives a yearly financial grant to successful applicants from their second year through to graduation. The exact amount is set by the sponsors and is renewable only if you maintain the required CGPA. Application is free.

This award is for 200 level students at NUC accredited public universities who already have a solid academic record and need reliable support to finish their degree.

Who Can Apply

• Nigerian citizens
• Currently in second year (200 level) of full time study
• At an NUC accredited public university in Nigeria
• Minimum CGPA of 3.5 on a 5.0 scale or equivalent
• Not already receiving another scholarship from a national or international oil and gas company

How to Apply

1. Go to the official Scholastica portal for the 2026 NNPC/SNEPCo scheme
2. Create and activate an account with an email you check often
3. Complete your profile and upload required documents (passport photo, admission letter, results, state of origin letter, NIN, academic results from 100 level, and a signed HOD profile form)

Confirm the exact portal link and current document list on the official announcement before you start. Deadlines are firm. Keep copies of everything you upload.

Grades rarely translate neatly between systems. The Grade converter helps you see how your result compares when you apply abroad.

If you meet the 200 level and CGPA requirements, apply through the official Scholastica portal now while the window is still open.

Before you commit, the Cost calculator adds up tuition, living costs, insurance and flights for your whole study period, and shows how much a scholarship would still leave you to fund.
