The American University of Nigeria has reportedly offered 67 scholarships
to new students only for the 2016/2017 academic session.
According to information on the school's website, the scholarships
are in three categories.
These are National Scholarship for the
overall top scorer (one scholarship), Regional Scholarships for the
top five scorers in each region (30 scholarships) and State Scholarships for the top scorer in each state (36
scholarships).
Apart from the national scholarship that covers all costs of
attendance, each scholarship in a category covered 50 per cent of tuition.
A candidate could win in up to two categories (50 per cent state
and 50 per cent regional) if he or she was one of the top five highest scorers
in his or her region and also the highest scorer in the state for a combined
win of 100 per cent coverage on tuition.
A total of 45 students won 64 of the scholarships, while two state
scholarships were not awarded because two states did not feature a contestant.
The 67 scholarships were awarded as follows: One student won
the National Scholarship; 20 students who won a regional scholarship each
and also were the highest scorers in their states and won 20 of the 36 state
scholarships offered, making a total of 40 scholarships awarded in this
group; 10 students won the remaining 10 Regional Scholarships; and
14 students won 14 of the remaining scholarships in the State
Scholarships category.
Two scholarships were not awarded in the state category because
two states did not feature a contestant.
The names of the successful candidates are listed on the
University website.
