About the scholarship
The Femi Bewaji Undergraduate Scholarship is a merit- and need-based award for Nigerian university students whose finances threaten their academic progress. It covers tuition and compulsory fees at public universities in Nigeria for two academic sessions.
Twelve scholarships will be awarded in the 2026 cohort. The award is renewable in the second year, subject to continued academic performance at or above the minimum CGPA threshold. Scholars also receive access to an internship opportunity at Fembol Group.
What it covers
