Ruth Titilayo Undergraduate Scholarship 2026

Ruth Titilayo Undergraduate Scholarship

Applications are now open for the Ruth Titilayo Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship, created to support students at Federal Universities in Nigeria.

This award can make a big difference. For some, it might cover tuition in full. For others, it may provide a smaller but still meaningful allowance that takes some weight off. Either way, it’s designed to give students room to focus on their education instead of constant financial worries.

Be living in Nigeria
Be under the age of 25
Currently enrolled at a university or have studied within the past three years
Hold a GPA of at least 4.0 on a 5.0 scale (or equivalent)
Final-year students are also welcome to apply

The scholarship is intended for students with a strong academic record and the determination to keep pushing forward.

Tuition support up to ₦100,000
Maintenance allowance up to ₦20,000
Additional support for research or travel, depending on the committee’s decision

Selection Process

A personal statement (tell your story, your goals, and why this matters to you)
Your most recent results
