Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Foundation Scholarship Opens for 2025
The Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Foundation (CAHF) has opened its 2025/2026 scholarship call. Eligible Ijesa undergraduates in Nigerian public universities or polytechnics may apply online before 30 November 2025. Read details below on requirements and steps to follow.
The Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Foundation has thrown its doors open again for students of Ijesa origin. The annual scholarship, now in its eighteenth run, is calling for fresh and returning applicants who need support to keep their studies on track. It is aimed at full-time undergraduates in Nigerian public universities and polytechnics, with proof of strong academic standing.
Who Can Apply for the CAHF Scholarship
The offer is not for everyone, and the rules are clear:
- Applicants must be full-time undergraduates in a recognised public university or polytechnic in Nigeria.
- They must come from Ijesa origin, and be able to prove it.
- They must show they need financial help to continue their studies.
- A Cumulative Grade Point Average of Second Class Upper, or its equal, is the entry bar.
It is a lifeline for students who meet these boxes, though the Foundation is strict with checks.
Application Steps and What to Submit
Applications are taken online through the CAHF official website. The form asks for:
- Personal details including email, phone, family name, and parental status.
- A written reason explaining why the applicant thinks they deserve the award.
