Full Scholarship

The Public Needs Scholarship

Some of our partners fund full scholarships for applicants who need it most. You can apply by telling us your story - and giving us the right to share your profile publicly as part of that sponsorship.

Full scholarships are limited and involve public sharing of your story as a condition.
When do classes commence?

Key date for the upcoming 2026 inaugural cohort:
• Classes commence: November 14, 2026
Scholarships and admissions are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage applicants to apply early to secure their seat.

Do I need to apply separately for a scholarship?

For the 20% scholarship, yes - there's a field for it on the admission form itself, so it's part of the same application, not a separate process. The referral, NYSC and women's discounts are applied automatically once you meet the criteria.

Can I combine scholarships and discounts?

Yes - they can stack. Total scholarship coverage is capped between 20% and 45% of your fee, based on availability.

What if I can't pay the full fee at once?

Pay a ₦75,000 deposit to secure your seat and start classes on November 14, then spread the remaining balance, fully paid by December 7.

What happens to my ₦5,000 registration fee?

It's refunded after the admissions process - it exists as a sign of commitment, not an extra cost.
