Get Your Tuition Covered: The NCPWD Undergraduate Scholarship for 2024!

If you’re a Nigerian student with a disability and you’re dreaming of going to college without the financial headache, listen up! The Federal Government of Nigeria, via the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, is rolling out the red carpet for you with the 2024 NCPWD Undergraduate Scholarship. And guess what?

It’s a full scholarship that covers your tuition—no hidden fees or surprise charges

The National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) in Nigeria is an agency under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, tasked with promoting and protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities.

Established to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities in various sectors of society, the NCPWD works to eliminate barriers, advocate for policy changes, and provide support services. One of its key initiatives is the scholarship program aimed at enabling students with disabilities to access higher education without financial burdens.

The NCPWD Undergraduate Scholarship is a significant effort to support the educational aspirations of these students. By covering full tuition fees for eligible candidates enrolled in public tertiary institutions, the program not only alleviates financial stress but also fosters a more inclusive educational environment.

This initiative reflects a broader commitment to empower persons with disabilities in Nigeria, ensuring they have equal opportunities to pursue their academic and career goals.
