Nigeria’s leading end-to-end Financial Services Institution, Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC, a member of the Standard Bank Group, has extended the deadline for its 2020 University Scholarship Programme application to 31 December 2020.
Dr
Demola Sogunle, Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC, said: “The
extension of the application closing date was necessary because most
universities are yet to conduct the mandatory Post Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (PUTME), while some others are yet to release
their admission lists.
“With
this extension, all the students who participated in the 2020 UTME will
now have a fair chance to apply and those who have earlier applied with
incomplete applications can have the opportunity to complete them.”
The
Stanbic IBTC University Scholarship Programme is open to students who
participated in the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) and have just gained admission into any Federal or State
University in Nigeria.
The
scholarship, aimed at encouraging hard work and academic excellence
among Nigerian undergraduates, comes with a total value of N40 million.
To
qualify, an applicant must have a minimum score of 200 in the 2020 UTME
and letter of admission into a Nigerian Federal or State University,
issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) or the
University.
