Nestlé Nigeria opens applications for 2026/27 Community Scholarship programme

Nestlé Nigeria Plc has opened applications for its 2026/2027 Community Scholarship Programme, which targets Science and Technology students in its host communities. Since its launch in 2020, the scheme has supported more than 250 students, with over 70% of tracked beneficiaries graduating with First Class honours. The programme provides financial aid for tuition, books and other school‑related costs.

Eligible applicants are current 100‑level Science or technical students who scored at least 200 in the UTME, as well as SS1 Science students with a minimum of five credit passes in the BECE. Applications are accepted from Agbara, Sagamu and Abaji and close on 28 August 2026. Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications Lead at Nestlé Nigeria, said the initiative reflects the belief that “stronger communities are built by creating opportunities for people to thrive.” One recent beneficiary, Kazeem Fatai, graduated with a First Class degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
