The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) invites interested applicants to apply for the Foundation's Tertiary Education Scholarships for the academic year 2021/2022.
Alex Otti Foundation Scholarship 2022
Quality education cultivates a person's mind and character
while also teaching them the skills they need to thrive in life and contribute
to society.
The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) recognizes this link and
works to foster a vibrant Nigerian community through significant educational
interventions, including the annual offering of undergraduate scholarships to
deserving students.
As a result, the Foundation is now accepting applications
for the 2021/2022 edition of its undergraduate scholarship program.
The scheme was created to provide financial assistance to
destitute students who have ancestors from – or are now residing in – Abia
State.
Scholarships will be
given out based on a strong academic background, leadership potential, and a
demonstrated desire to apply what they've learned to help others.
Winners should use their talents and knowledge to improve
the lives of others once they have completed their studies.
The Foundation hopes its scholarship recipients to develop
into a strong network of leaders who will individually and collectively
contribute to the well-being of Abia State and Nigeria in general.
Successful candidates must maintain a cumulative grade point
average (CGPA) of at least 3.5 (per session) for those studying in universities
(or its equivalent for those studying in other tertiary institutions) in order
to keep the Scholarship until they graduate.

Applications must be submitted by Saturday, December 31, 2021, at midnight. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE PROCESSED IF THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY COMPLETED BY THE DEADLINE.
Note:
Only residents of Abia State are eligible for this
scholarship. This means that there is no distinction between individuals who
are native to the state and those whose ancestors came from other states. Even
if you are studying elsewhere in Nigeria, you are eligible as long as you live
in the state.
Indigent pupils are individuals whose families can't afford
to pay for their children's education. As a method of giving back to society,
those who can afford tertiary education should avoid applying for this
scholarship.
