STEP 2 : A Fourth Criterion Which is Donor Determined: The donor-prescribed criteria may include
(i) enrolment in a particular field of study,
(ii) personal attributes and achievements such as leadership,
(iii) special community service or volunteerism,
(iv) residence in a specific geographic area, or
(v) other distinctive criteria. Most donors do not specify unique criteria.

STEP 3 : Decision Making: Decisions regarding which candidates are assigned specific scholarships are made based on assessment of information gathered in Steps 1 and 2. Donors who request participation in the final decision for their particular scholarships are party to the decision.



STEP 4 : Conditional Offer of Scholarship: Candidates selected in Step 3 will be emailed a conditional offer of scholarship. They will be asked to provide additional information (e.g. validation of enrolment in the 2017-18 academic year, etc.) by a given deadline. Should they respond in a timely way with the requested information, the conditions will be removed and they will be awarded a scholarship.

STEP 5 : Confirmation of 2017 Scholarship: With all conditions met, scholarship recipients will be officially advised by email of their award. As a courtesy, applicants who are unsuccessful in the 2017 scholarship program will be notified by email.

STEP 6 : Scholarship Awards Ceremony: The scheduled for the ceremony will be indicated in your offer and will be located at the capital city Abuja, Nigeria. All scholarship recipients and their families and friends will be invited. An applicant’s inability to attend the awards ceremony in person will not impact on his/her eligibility for a scholarship.

QUESTION 1: WILL I BE CONSIDERED FOR ALL SCHOLARSHIPS? <

You will be considered for all scholarships for which your candidacy makes you eligible. Of course, if you do not have a donor’s specific requirements you will not be considered for that donor’s particular scholarship. In the end, you will be assessed for eligibility for many of the available scholarships.

QUESTION 2: WHO SHOULD I CONTACT FOR HELP WITH MY APPLICATION?

To ensure you do your best work in preparing your application, we recommend that you consult all the resources available to you. If in high school, consult your parents, your guidance counsellor, a community mentor and/or any teacher who has been particularly supportive of your development. The same may be said if you are currently in a college/university, but additionally, you may consult staff in your institution’s financial aid and awards office or a person familiar with your school work or employment record.
