## In Short
- Selar announced beneficiaries for the third edition of its annual Tuition Support Fund under its Smart Hustle Initiative.
- 150 students across 31 Nigerian states will receive grants totalling ₦10,000,000.
- The support covers 50 final-year tertiary students and 100 SS3 students preparing for WAEC and JAMB.

## What Happened
[Selar](/selar) has published the list of beneficiaries for its 2026 Tuition Support Fund, the third edition of its annual student support programme. The company said the fund now sits under its social impact and CSR unit, the Smart Hustle Initiative.

Selar said it will disburse ₦10,000,000 in grants to 150 students across Nigeria. Fifty final-year students in accredited universities and polytechnics will receive ₦100,000 each. One hundred SS3 students will receive ₦50,000 each to support exam preparation for WAEC and JAMB, which are Nigeria’s key secondary school exit and university entry exams.

According to the announcement, applications opened on February 24 and closed on March 13, 2026. Selar said the process attracted entries from students across different socio-economic backgrounds.

The published list includes students across multiple institutions and states, from Ahmadu Bello University in Kaduna to the University of Lagos in Lagos and universities in Enugu, Oyo, Sokoto, Ogun, and other states.

## Why It Matters
For many households, exam fees, prep materials, transport, and outstanding tuition can be the difference between staying in school and dropping out. Small grants can act like emergency working capital, but for education, helping learners cross key milestones like final year and entry exams.

Selar is best known as a platform for selling digital products and services. Funding education as part of its Smart Hustle Initiative also signals how African tech companies are formalising CSR programmes and tying them to longer-term goals, like reducing fraud incentives by expanding legitimate opportunities.

For ecosystem operators, the scale up to 150 students across 31 states suggests the programme is growing year over year, and it may become a recurring support channel that schools, communities, and youth organisations plan around.
