The MTN Foundation Science &amp; Technology Scholarship scheme arranged and lunched by MTN to provide financial assistance to students who might otherwise be unable to pay for their tertiary education and aims to recognize and reward academic excellence. The scholarship only entered on the full time second year students studying in public tertiary institutions (Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education) in Nigeria.

The MTN Foundation Science &amp; Technology Scholarship scheme award which covers tuition, book allowance and stipends goes for a maximum of 500 qualified and successful full-time Nigerian students studying science and technology related courses.

I want you to that this scholarship is renewed every year until graduation for existing awardees provided they have maintained a minimum CGPA of 3.5 or its equivalent (Second Class Upper/Upper Credit) while new applications, when advertised, are welcome from full time students in their second year of study.
