Ruth Titilayo Undergraduate Scholarship 2026

Applications are now open for the Ruth Titilayo Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship, created to support students at Federal Universities in Nigeria.

This award can make a big difference. For some, it might cover tuition in full. For others, it may provide a smaller but still meaningful allowance that takes some weight off. Either way, it’s designed to give students room to focus on their education instead of constant financial worries.

• Be living in Nigeria
• Be under the age of 25
• Currently enrolled at a university or have studied within the past three years
• Hold a GPA of at least 4.0 on a 5.0 scale (or equivalent)
• Final-year students are also welcome to apply

The scholarship is intended for students with a strong academic record and the determination to keep pushing forward.

• Tuition support up to ₦100,000
• Maintenance allowance up to ₦20,000
• Additional support for research or travel, depending on the committee’s decision
