Founder's Scholarship Fee Breakdown
Students who qualify will pay significantly reduced fees depending on their chosen college.
Those admitted into the College of Arts will pay ₦3,840,000 after the 60% discount is applied.
Students in the College of Engineering, the College of Management and Social Sciences, and the College of Science and Computing will each pay ₦4,799,520.
The announcement covers all four faculties at the university, meaning no college is left out of the scholarship arrangement.
A Score of 300 Is the Gateway
The requirement of a minimum JAMB score of 300 places the scholarship firmly within reach for top-performing candidates.
A score in that range typically signals a student who has prepared seriously for the university entrance examination, and the offer effectively rewards that academic effort with a substantial reduction in what the university would otherwise charge.
For families weighing the cost of private university education against the quality of instruction on offer, the Founder's Scholarship presents a notable incentive, particularly given the economic pressures many Nigerian households are currently navigating.
The announcement is likely to attract attention from high-scoring JAMB candidates and their families who are currently deciding where to channel their admissions.
