Femi Bewaji Pathway Scholarship

WAEC and JAMB registration fees for final-year secondary students in Osun State who have the grades and the drive — but not the registration fee.

About the scholarship

The Femi Bewaji Pathway Scholarship covers WAEC and JAMB registration fees for final-year secondary students in Osun State who are prepared and capable, but held back by the cost of sitting their exit examinations.

Awards are paid directly to the relevant examination body before the registration deadline. Students are never asked to pay and seek reimbursement. Applications are submitted through participating secondary schools, not through this website directly.

What it covers

The scholarship covers the registration fees for the exit examinations that open the door to university:

  • WAEC — West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) registration.
  • JAMB — Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration.

Awards are paid directly to the exam body. The scholarship does not cover textbooks, private lessons, or other preparation costs.

  • Nigerian citizen resident in Osun State.
  • Schooling in a public or private secondary school in Osun State.
  • Aged between 14 and 17 years at the time of application.
