Then this exciting news is for you!

This scholarship is not just about paying your school fees—it is about helping you succeed in your studies and become the great person you are meant to be. Keep reading to learn more about how this amazing opportunity works and how you can apply.

🌉 What is the Bridge Scholarship Program?

The Bridge Scholarship Program is a yearly scholarship designed to help indigent (financially struggling) students across public universities in Nigeria. The main goal is to remove the financial burden of education and give bright, hardworking students a chance to focus fully on their academics.

This scholarship is called “Bridge” because it serves as a bridge between poverty and success. It helps students who don’t have enough financial support to cross over from hardship to a future full of possibilities.

Once selected, scholars receive support throughout their time at the university—until graduation. But the benefits don’t stop there! After school, the scholarship also helps students start their careers, find mentors, and get the guidance they need to succeed in life.

📌 Who Can Apply? (Eligibility)

To qualify for the Bridge Scholarship Program, you must:

1. ✅ Be a Nigerian student currently enrolled in any public university (state or federal).

2. ✅ Show a serious commitment to completing your Bachelor’s degree.

3. ✅ Be in critical financial need (this means your family cannot comfortably afford your education).

4. ✅ Take part in co-curricular activities or community service (like volunteering, joining school clubs, church/mosque groups, etc.).

5. ✅ Show honesty, perseverance, and a strong spirit to overcome challenges.

6. ✅ Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 (or its equivalent, depending on your school’s grading system).

This scholarship is not just looking for students who are poor—it is looking for hardworking, focused, and well-rounded individuals who are determined to succeed despite life’s challenges.
