The Federal Government has invited applications from suitably qualified students studying Education courses in Universities and Colleges of Education.
Recall that during the commemoration of the World Teachers Day in Abuja last year, the Federal Government said students undergoing degree programmes in Education in public universities will get a N75,000 stipend per semester, while their counterparts undergoing the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) will get N50,000 per semester.
In a press statement issued on Monday by the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education, Andrew David Adejo, the government said application forms are now available online at www.education.gov.ng while the deadline for submission of application is October 21, 2022.
He said the eligibility criteria for the Bursary award include applicants studying Education in Nigerian Colleges of Education and Universities and applicants must be full-time students.
On the method of application, he urged students to complete the application form online, submit and print a copy, attach photocopies of letter of admission and current school’s identity card.
He said, “Eligible candidates are advised to make only one entry as multiple entries will disqualify the applicants.
