NLNG Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme 2026

About this scholarship

The NLNG Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme supports outstanding Nigerian students to pursue taught master's degrees at leading universities, primarily in the United Kingdom.

The NLNG Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme is an international scholarship programme run by Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) as part of its educational and human capital development initiatives. It is designed to help high-performing Nigerian graduates undertake postgraduate study abroad, with the programme commonly focused on master's-level study at selected or approved institutions.

The scheme is aimed at academically strong candidates who are Nigerian nationals and who have secured, or are in the process of securing, admission to an eligible postgraduate programme. NLNG scholarships are typically competitive and merit-based, and applicants are generally expected to demonstrate excellent academic performance, strong supporting documents, and compliance with the company's published application conditions for the relevant cycle.

Funding under the programme is generally intended to reduce the financial burden of overseas study. Depending on the award year, support may contribute toward key study costs such as tuition fees, living expenses, and other essential academic costs. Because specific benefits and terms can vary by call, applicants should always check the official NLNG scholarship announcement for the exact coverage, eligible universities, priority courses, and award conditions.

The scholarship is primarily associated with study in the United Kingdom. Interested students usually apply through the official NLNG scholarship portal or the company's scholarship information pages when applications open. In most cases, candidates will need to complete an online application and upload academic records and identity documents, and may also need to provide an admission letter, personal statement, and other supporting materials.

If you are a Nigerian graduate planning to pursue a postgraduate degree abroad, the NLNG Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme can be a valuable opportunity to access financial support and study at a reputable international university.
