Awards will be made to qualified and suitable students
who are currently admitted in Nigerian Universities

Capital Territory (FCT)

This program is funded by Mobil Producing Nigeria,

annually. This is a significant increase on the 13 awards

are made to suitably qualified students from every state
of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT). However, about 62 per cent of the total NNPC/

students who are indigenes of the operational

States (12%). There is also a merit award (10%) to the
best 50 candidates in the selection tests. The remaining
places go to students from other states including the
Federal Capital territory (FCT), based on merit and fair
geographical spread. The current scholarship awards
are for disciplines in Engineering (Petroleum, Chemical
Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics and Civil,) Geology/
Geophysics, Medicine, Agricultural Science (and related
fields) as well as Computer Science.
