Nestlé Nigeria has officially opened applications for its 2025 Community Scholarship program, an initiative supporting high-achieving students in local communities. The scholarship, launched in 2020, aims to provide financial assistance to senior secondary and tertiary students pursuing studies in Science and Technology fields.
This year, Nestlé plans to award scholarships to 90 students, with grants totaling N18 million, to help cover essential educational expenses, including tuition, accommodation, uniforms, books, and other learning materials. The application portal is live and will remain open until December 8, 2024, offering students a chance to receive meaningful financial support.
Victoria Uwadoka, Nestlé Nigeria’s Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead, emphasized the program's commitment to "creating shared value" and easing the financial burden on families amid ongoing economic challenges. “By investing in education, we empower students while contributing to the development of our communities,” she said.
The announcement of the 2025 program follows the recent award ceremony for the 2023/2024 scholarship recipients, where 65 students from host communities, including Abaji, Agbara, and Sagamu, received scholarships to further their education.
