Application for the 2024 Nigeria Higher Education Foundation (NHEF) Scholars Programme is now open.
Each year, the NHEF identifies talented young Nigerians from our various Partner Universities who have demonstrated strong academic excellence and well-roundedness in both professional and extracurricular pursuits and provides them with intensive career training and skill-building exercises needed to aid them in long-term career development.
To qualify as an NHEF Scholar, each candidate must possess a strong commitment to Leadership, Community Service, and Philanthropy, as well as making a lasting impact across the globe. Eligible applicants are penultimate students at our Partner universities, i.e. 300 Level students studying a 4 year course or 400-level students studying a 5 year course.
The NHEF Partner Universities are:
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
Bayero University, Kano
University of Ibadan
University of Lagos
University of Nigeria, Nsukka
University of Port Harcourt
The Scholars Programme is an early career-accelerating program that provides diverse opportunities to the selected Scholars from our various Partner Universities. Each Scholar goes through a weeklong orientation program that exposes them to career development training that is pivotal in facilitating an easy transition into the global workforce.
During the NHEF Scholars Programme, each scholar undergoes intensive training by a thoroughly selected group of international facilitators. The Scholars then take up internship placements at our Partner Firms, which typically last 6 – 8 weeks. They also go through a robust curriculum, ensuring continuous personal and professional development.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
All applications must be submitted via the NHEF Application Portal (https://portal.thenhef.org/) latest by 11:59 p.m. (WAT) on March 29, 2024. Visit the official website for more information.
