NNPC-SNEPCo National University Scholarship 2026
About the opportunity:
The NNPC-SNEPCo National University Scholarship is run by SNEPCo for itself, NNPC Limited and its co-venture partners. It aims to promote academic excellence and build the skills of young Nigerians. Successful applicants receive a yearly grant that continues until they finish their undergraduate programme, as long as they keep up their grades.
Applications are made online through the scholarship portal only. Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria are invited to a monitored computer-based test. The top 10 candidates from each of the 36 states and the FCT are then shortlisted for academic verification before any award is offered. Anyone found to have falsified their results is disqualified.
It suits strong second-year students at public universities who have a high CGPA and do not already hold another oil and gas industry scholarship.
Who can apply:
- Nigerian citizens
- Students currently in their second year of full-time study at a public Nigerian university accredited by the NUC
- Students with a minimum CGPA of 3.5 on a 5-point scale, or the equivalent on other grading systems
- Students who are not beneficiaries of any other scholarship from an oil and gas industry entity, national or international
- Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply
What you get:
- A yearly grant from your second year until you complete your undergraduate degree
- You must keep a minimum CGPA of 3.5 each session to continue receiving the award

Download your profile from the portal, get your Head of Department to sign it, and upload the signed copy.
If you did not have a NIN earlier, register with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to get one, then update your application with it.

Tip: Start collecting your documents now, especially the letter of identification from your state of origin, the signed profile and your NIN, because these depend on other offices and can take time.
