NNPC - Heirs Energies Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme 2025


NNPC and Heirs Energies are offering a scholarship for 100-level students from OML 17 host communities. If you're a full-time student at a public university and meet the conditions, apply before it's too late. All the steps and links you need are here.



If you grew up in one of the oil-bearing communities under OML 17 and you’re grinding through 100 level at a public university, this is for you. The NNPC–Heirs Energies scholarship is now open. It’s not one of those flashy awards you hear about on TV, but it’s real. And it might be just enough to ease the weight on your back.

Now, the rules? Strict. The process? Not exactly a walk in the park. But if you’re from the right place and have your documents in order, you’ve got a shot.



Let’s break it down.

This scholarship is strictly for indigenes of OML 17 host communities. Not “anywhere in Nigeria”—just the towns and villages listed under Etche, Ikwerre, Obio-Akpor, and Oyigbo in Rivers State.

Not already be on any other scholarship
Get an endorsement letter from your community’s traditional ruler
