When next is for the application of the federal government scholarship in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteUju Nweke, we do not know when it will be. The Federal Government of Nigeria has not announced any scholarship calls for Nigerian Tertiary Institutions recently. Instead they have concerned themselves mainly with scholarship calls for foreign schools. You can see that here: http://www.studyandscholarships.com/2010/03/federal-scholarship-board-bea-overseas.html.
DeleteWe will update this scholarship page whenever the Nigerian Ministry of Education sends out calls for its application. Cheers!

ReplyDelete@Onyiba Amadi, there is nothing "complet false news ,wrong informations and fraud" about this scholarship article. And we DEFINITELY do not defraud anyone.
DeleteScholarships are called for by sponsors in cycles, and we update when they are called. Most are yearly cycles, but few can be in cycles more than that. In this particular case, the Federal Government of Nigeria last called for applications for this scholarship in 2012/13. Anytime the Government calls for it again, we will update this page. We cannot update it without an appropriate call. Do be well guided!
