Al-Ansar University Automatic Scholarship Scheme 2025/2026
Al-Ansar University is offering an automatic scholarship for new students applying for the 2025/2026 session. This post breaks down who qualifies, what courses are covered, and how to apply.
Let’s be honest, paying school fees these days feels like climbing a hill with no shoes. So when Al-Ansar University, Maiduguri came out saying, “Hey, we’ll cover part of your tuition if you’re coming in fresh,” ears perked up.
And no, this isn’t a competition or essay-writing drama. It’s an automatic scholarship—for new students only—who meet the right conditions and apply for the 2025/2026 admission cycle.
Who Can Get This Scholarship?
If you’re self-sponsored and fall under any of these groups, you’re in the running:
- UTME candidates
- Direct Entry (DE) applicants
- Transfer students from recognised universities
Now, before you rush off, check the details below. No one likes surprises.
For UTME Candidates:
- You must score at least 150 in this year’s UTME
- Your subject combination should fit your chosen course
- Have five O’level credits, including Maths and English
For Direct Entry (DE) Applicants:
- ND, NCE, IJMB or any valid DE certificate is okay
- Again, five O’level credits with Maths and English
For Transfer Students:
- Your old school must have admitted you through JAMB (from 2022 or later)
- You’ll need to send your original transcript confidentially to AUM
- You must meet the department’s standards
What Courses Are Covered?
This scholarship isn’t for everyone, though. It covers programmes under these faculties:
- Arts, Social and Management Sciences
- Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (MBBS not included)
- Science, Information, and Communication Technology
If you were eyeing MBBS, sorry. You’ll need to sort that one out yourself.
How To Apply (It’s Pretty Simple)
No form-filling at a dusty office or standing in line under the sun.
- Head to www.aum.edu.ng
- Fill out the admission application form
- Upload your documents
That’s it. Once you do that, your scholarship slot is automatically tied to your admission—if you’re eligible.
A Few Warnings You Shouldn’t Ignore
- This offer is only for new students. If you’re already studying there, it won’t work—unless you’re transferring.
- If you upload your WAEC or NECO result outside a JAMB-approved CBT centre, you won’t show up for admission processing.
- Once JAMB gives you admission, check your portal, read your SMS, and accept it within 4 weeks. If you don’t? JAMB takes it back, no appeal.
- Lastly, the deadline for admissions into private universities, including AUM, is end of November 2025. Miss it, and you’ll be locked out till next year.
So, if you’ve been thinking of applying to a private university but scared of the cost, this might be your small break. It’s not total freedom from school fees, but hey, anything helps these days. Don’t sleep on it.
