Carewave Aspire Scholarship Programme (CASP)
About the opportunity:
Care Wave Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation based in Abuja. Its work covers education, healthcare access, elder care, economic stability and support for underserved communities. The Carewave Aspire Scholarship Programme (CASP) is its merit- and need-based undergraduate scholarship, designed especially for students from vulnerable or financially disadvantaged communities.
The initial award covers one academic year and is worth ₦500,000. It is meant to help with education and living costs, and the foundation's guidance says this may include tuition fees, books, transport and upkeep. Renewal is not automatic. Continued support depends on academic performance, meeting the programme's requirements and staying in good academic standing, and recipients may need to send progress reports every term.
Applications are made online through the foundation's scholarship portal and include a motivation letter of 600 to 1,000 words. Applications are reviewed and verified, and shortlisted candidates may be invited to an interview, either online or in person. The scholarship suits students with strong academic potential, real financial need, integrity and leadership potential, and a clear commitment to finishing their degree.
