Gabriel Ezenri Foundation Scholarship Opens for 2026

In Short

• The Gabriel Ezenri Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship is now open for 2026 applicants in Nigeria.
• The award offers up to ₦500,000 per academic session.
• The deadline to apply is October 15, 2026.

What Happened

The Gabriel Ezenri Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship is accepting applications from undergraduates in Nigeria who are enrolled in accredited universities or polytechnics.

According to an announcement by PressPayNG, the scholarship is designed for students with strong academic performance who can also show financial need.

The scholarship package includes support for tuition and registration fees, learning materials, and a modest living stipend. Awards can be up to ₦500,000 per academic session.

The funding is renewable yearly, but recipients are expected to maintain their grades. The minimum requirement stated is a CGPA of 3.5 on a 5.0 scale.

Why It Matters

For many Nigerian students, staying in school can depend on predictable support for fees and basic costs. This kind of scholarship can reduce dropout risk, especially when household income is under pressure.

The eligibility rules also show what the foundation is prioritising. Current undergraduates need at least a 3.5 CGPA, while new entrants can qualify with a UTME score of 250 or five O’Level credits including English and Mathematics.

For founders, operators, and investors building in education and skills, scholarship programs are part of the broader education access pipeline. They can influence who completes tertiary education and enters the workforce, including the tech talent pool.

Applications are submitted online via the foundation’s website, and candidates should plan ahead for any documentation needed to prove admission status, results, and financial need.
