Pro. Dr. Gabriel Olubunmi Fakeye Scholarship & Bursary Award

The Pro. Dr. Gabriel Olubunmi Fakeye Scholarship & Bursary Award supports undergraduate education for eligible church members. For the 2027 session, the minimum CGPA is 3.0 for the Bursary Award and 3.5 for the Scholarship Award. Applications are listed as open, with a deadline of 4 December 2026.

Before preparing your application, check the membership restriction carefully: this is not an award advertised to all undergraduates. If you are currently in Nigeria, you must also verify the geographical eligibility rules, because the available information does not specify eligible citizenships, places of residence or countries of study.

Opportunity Summary

About the Opportunity

The award combines an application review with institutional and church verification, followed by an examination and interview for shortlisted candidates. Approved awards are paid directly to beneficiaries through the bank details they provide.

The available information does not identify the administering provider explicitly or state the award value, duration or expenses covered. Treat this as scholarship or bursary support of an unspecified amount, not as a fully funded undergraduate programme. You should establish what the award would contribute before relying on it to meet your education costs.

Funding and Benefits

• Scholarship and bursary support is available for undergraduate education. The amount and covered expenses are not stated, so confirm these before making financial commitments.
• Approved awards are paid directly to beneficiaries through their provided bank details. The payment schedule and whether support is renewable are not stated.

Who Can Apply?

• You must be a member of the Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere District Branches. Membership of another church or district is not established as eligible by the supplied criteria.
• The minimum CGPA for the Bursary Award is 3.0. Check your current academic evidence against this threshold before applying.
• The minimum CGPA for the Scholarship Award is 3.5. Meeting this threshold alone does not establish selection: verification, screening and the shortlisted assessment process also apply.
• The award supports undergraduate education. Eligible institutions, courses, years of study and the applicable CGPA scale are not specified in the available information.

What Nigerian Applicants Should Know

• Citizenship and residence: the published criteria do not explicitly confirm Nigerian citizenship eligibility or eligibility based on living in Nigeria. Church membership should not be treated as proof that these geographical conditions are satisfied.
• Country and institution of study: eligible countries and institutions are not specified. If you study in Nigeria, confirm that your institution and programme are accepted rather than assuming all Nigerian undergraduates qualify.
• Work permission and professional recognition: no employment, work-permission or professional-recognition provisions are stated. This is undergraduate financial support, not evidence of permission to work or recognition of a qualification.
• Remote participation and travel: the examination and interview arrangements are unspecified. Do not assume you can participate remotely from Nigeria or that any travel costs will be covered.

Required Documents

• Admission letter and last academic result/current CGPA, signed by an authorised officer of the institution. The stated formats are PDF, DOC or DOCX, with a maximum size of 5MB. Check how the application requires these documents to be supplied.
• Recommendation letter from your Branch Leader, in PDF, DOC or DOCX format, with a maximum size of 5MB. If it is unavailable, you are instructed to state a reason; this does not establish that the requirement is automatically waived.
• Passport photograph in JPG, PNG or JPEG format, with a maximum size of 5MB.

How to Apply

1. 1. Confirm that the award fits your circumstances. Check your church membership and CGPA against the published requirements. Resolve questions about your country of residence, institution or CGPA scale through the official application page before assuming you qualify.
2. 2. Prepare the required documents. Obtain your admission and academic evidence, arrange the required institutional signature, and request your Branch Leader’s recommendation. Check the photograph format and each file’s size before starting the submission process.
3. 3. Create your profile through the official application route and complete the application form. Enter details consistently with your documents, particularly your name, institution and academic record. The available information does not describe every form field, so follow the actual instructions presented.
4. 4. Upload the required documents and submit before 4 December 2026. Review the complete application for missing files, unreadable pages and typing errors. If your recommendation is unavailable, provide the reason as instructed rather than silently omitting it.
5. 5. Prepare for verification and screening. Documents are checked with your institution and church band captain to confirm eligibility and CGPA accuracy. As optional preparation, keep your submitted records accessible so you can respond accurately if clarification is requested.
6. 6. If shortlisted, follow the instructions for the examination and interview. Their dates, format, location and assessment content are not stated. Verify these arrangements before making travel plans or incurring costs. Award decisions follow the panel review and assessment process.

Application Tips

Start with the documents that depend on other people: your institution-signed academic evidence and your Branch Leader’s recommendation. Allow time for these to be prepared before the deadline. As optional preparation, make a checklist showing each document, who must provide or sign it, and whether it meets the stated file requirements.

Read every file after saving it. Check that names, academic details and signatures are legible, and that your entered CGPA matches your academic evidence. Example: a CGPA of 3.2 meets the stated bursary threshold but not the scholarship threshold; do not round it up to claim eligibility for the latter. The CGPA scale is not specified, so verify how the thresholds apply if your institution uses a different scale.

For your final check, confirm your membership details, academic figures, required documents and contact information. Check any bank details requested for accuracy. Submit before 4 December 2026 rather than assuming a particular closing hour: no closing time or timezone is stated. Keep any submission confirmation made available.
