About The Scholarship

In 2008, the Trustees of the Murli T. Chellaram Foundation established the scholarship program with the aim of attracting high achieving academically meritorious students who are economically constrained to pursue higher education at recognized Nigerian Universities. 

The Scholarships are also part of the Management efforts to improve the welfare of Nigerian students in tertiary institutions, increase access to higher education, improve the retention rates in Tertiary Institutions, and reward excellence.

Since you are currently awaiting admission, you can't classify yourself as "currently enrolled as a full time student" am sorry to say, but I don't think you are. But you can check [url]scholargrants.net[/url] to see if you can find any that suits you.

Did anyone get this scholarship? I was told to upload some documents in April, because I passed the first stage of shortlisting, according to them. I haven't heard from them, since then. I just want to confirm if the winners have been
contacted.
