TKA Foundation’s 2027 Nigerian College/University Scholarship Program

Students in Nigeria preparing for admission in 2027 can apply for TKA Foundation’s Nigerian College/University Scholarship Program. The programme offers 50 scholarships, with priority given to students from low-income families. Applicants awaiting their WAEC or equivalent examination results may apply, provided they meet the published admission-year and examination-year criteria.

Opportunity Summary

About the Opportunity

The scholarship is intended for students seeking admission for the 2027 academic session at a Nigerian public university or polytechnic. Accepted WAEC or equivalent examination years run from 2024 to 2027. Applicants should be preparing for JAMB and the 2027 admission process; the programme is not described as an award for students already studying in other academic sessions.

The application window runs from 1 October to 20 December 2026. Registration closes at 11:59 PM Nigeria time on 20 December 2026. Although the scholarship concerns admission in 2027, its application deadline falls in 2026, so applicants should plan around that earlier date.

TKA Foundation will administer a screening test on Saturday, 13 March 2027 at 9:00 AM Nigeria time. Selected students will receive the screening venue by email. The published information does not specify award amounts, the length of support or whether all study costs will be covered. Applicants should therefore treat this as scholarship support rather than a confirmed fully funded award.

Application Tips

Preparation advice, not an additional provider requirement: check that your intended institution, admission session and examination year match the published criteria before submitting. Use an email address you can access reliably, because confirmation, application updates and screening venue information will be sent by email. Save your application reference number somewhere accessible. If you are awaiting results, the published rules allow you to apply; however, the information supplied does not explain any later process for providing those results. When planning study expenses, do not assume the scholarship will cover every cost, as award values and full-cost coverage are not stated.
