NNPC/SNEPCo National University Scholarship 2026

The NNPC/SNEPCo National University Scholarship is a merit-based undergraduate support programme run by Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) in partnership with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). It is designed to help academically strong Nigerian students enrolled in higher education within Nigeria continue their studies with fewer financial barriers.

This scholarship is generally aimed at undergraduate students in Nigerian universities. It is commonly associated with students in their early years of study and is intended to reward academic excellence while promoting access to higher education. The programme is national in scope rather than tied to a single institution, so eligible students usually apply from approved universities across Nigeria.

Funding typically comes as a financial award toward educational expenses. While the exact structure may vary by application cycle, the scholarship is best understood as partial support rather than a full-cost award. Students should check the current call for details on what costs are covered, the duration of support, and renewal conditions if applicable.

Applicants are typically expected to be Nigerian citizens, registered as full-time undergraduates in Nigeria, and to meet the programme's academic standards. Selection is usually competitive and based on merit. Candidates may also need to provide proof of admission, academic records, and identification documents during the application process.

Applications are usually submitted through the scholarship portal announced by the organisers or their authorised scholarship management partner. Because requirements and timelines can change from year to year, applicants should rely on the official scholarship notice for the current application round, eligibility rules, required documents, and deadlines.
