MTN Nigeria Scholarship: What every Nigerian student needs right now
Raise your hand if you understand how hard it can be to fund yourself through education in Nigeria, especially when there are no available funds?! The pandemic has even thrown us further into the ‘no money’ zone. However, thankfully, things are slowly moving on and bright spots of good have started shining through.
One of those bright spots is MTN’s Science and Technology Scholarship Scheme (STSS) and Scholarship Scheme for Blind Students (SSBS). Do you know how quickly a scholarship award can reduce stress? *sigh*
Now to the good news – MTN Nigeria has called for applications for its annual scholarship schemes, and things are heating up!
