Sometimes, what stands between a student and their dream is just one word — money. Fees stack up, books cost a lot, and some students simply hustle through, hoping for a miracle. Well, maybe this could be yours.

The Global Youth Foundation has kicked off applications for its 2025/2026 Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme, and from the look of it, they’re not playing around. Full tuition. No part payment. No fine print.



So if you’re in a Nigerian university and wondering how to stay in school or pay less for it, this might just ease that headache.

What the Scholarship Covers

Let’s not beat around the bush. The scholarship is full.Your tuition? Covered.
Other stuff like living expenses? That’s not stated, so don’t assume. But still, tuition is the main deal, and that’s a huge win on its own.

No tricks. Just solid backing for those who make the cut.
Who Can Apply?

Now, the eligibility part is pretty clear, but it comes with a few layers. Let’s unpack them.You must be a registered member of the Global Youth Foundation
You must currently be enrolled as an undergraduate
Academic requirements vary by level:If you’re in 200 level or higher: CGPA should be at least 4.0 on a 5.0 scale or 3.5 on a 4.0 scale
If you’re just starting out (100 level): UTME score should be 280 or above

But here’s something thoughtful. If you come from a low-income background and don’t meet those academic scores, you can still apply. They said so themselves.

So if you know you need the help, no dulling. Shoot your shot.
What You Need to Apply

Here’s the short checklist. Keep it tidy and complete.A simple application letter (tell your story, don’t copy random samples)
A recommendation letter from your Head of Department (HOD)
A copy of your admission letter

Make sure your documents are readable and well-labelled. No blurry photos, no half scans. Present yourself like someone they’ll want to support.

Final Words

Some students scroll past these things because they assume it won’t be them. Maybe they think the chances are slim or the process is too much wahala.


But here’s the truth — people get selected. Every year.

So if you’re a student with the grades, or even without the grades but with the need, and you’re part of the GYF community, just apply. Worst case? You tried. Best case? You won’t have to worry about tuition next semester.

Your move.
