Ruth Titilayo Foundation Opens 2026 Undergraduate Scholarship for Nigerian Students
The Ruth Titilayo Foundation has officially announced the opening of applications for its 2026 Undergraduate Scholarship Programme, a life-changing opportunity designed to ease the financial burden on students enrolled in Federal Universities across Nigeria.
The scholarship, which runs from October 1 to October 31, 2025, is aimed at exceptional young Nigerians who demonstrate both strong academic performance and resilience in the face of financial challenges.
What Makes This Scholarship Stand Out?
For many students, paying tuition is a constant struggle. The Ruth Titilayo Foundation seeks to bridge that gap by offering up to ₦100,000 in tuition support and ₦20,000 in maintenance allowance. In some cases, recipients may also receive extra funding for research or travel, based on the committee’s discretion.
This program is not just about financial aid—it’s about giving students the space to focus on their education and achieve their academic goals without constant money worries.

- Must be under 25 years old

The scholarship is open to students who are not only academically strong but also determined to keep pushing forward despite obstacles.
