Ruth Titilayo Educational Foundation Opens 2026 Scholarship Applications for Nigerian Students
The Ruth Titilayo Educational Foundation (RTEF) has officially announced the opening of its 2026 scholarship applications, giving Nigerian students across all levels of education an opportunity to access life-changing financial support.
Unlike most scholarship schemes that target only one category, the Ruth Titilayo Scholarships cover nearly every stage of learning — from secondary school to postgraduate studies, including polytechnics, technical, and vocational institutions.
Why the Scholarship Matters
The foundation says its mission is simple: to allow students to focus on learning, not on financial struggles.
Many young people in Nigeria face the harsh reality of dropping out of school because of tuition fees or living costs. RTEF was established to bridge that gap, giving determined students the chance to pursue their education without interruption.
Categories of Ruth Titilayo Scholarships
The 2026 program offers five distinct categories:
- Secondary School Scholarship – For students currently enrolled in Nigerian secondary schools.
- Undergraduate Scholarship – For students studying in federal universities.
- Postgraduate Scholarship – For graduates pursuing master’s or PhD programs.
- Technical & Vocational Scholarship – For students in skill-based programs.
- Polytechnic Scholarship – For students attending federal polytechnics.
Each scholarship covers annual tuition fees and provides a monthly living allowance. In some cases, extra support for research or travel may also be granted.
