I gained admission into a federal university in 2014 just a year after I lost my parents and struggled so hard to pay my school fees and accommodation with minimal assistance from relatives.

I am a medical student and so I applied for Agbami scholarship; I wrote the test and was awarded the scholarship in 2016 (200 level). Stipend was 200K yearly so long as I maintained a gpa of 3.0 or more each preceding session.

Now in my 4th year, I lost the scholarship. Reason: According to the email I received from Agbami (see attached screenshot), I had a gpa of 2.59 in my 3rd year result sheet sent to them by my faculty.
This is less than the stipulated 3.0 minimum required grade. Further, In the email I was given two weeks to contest and rectify the result if incorrect. But at the time I saw this message it was too late, the time had elapsed. I lost the scholarship and I moved on.

Now things became more difficult for me going forward as I had to work part time, my grade flunked even worse and I had to repeat some level several times and a 6yrs course extended to 9yrs not including ASUU strike and the COVID pandemic.

Well luckily for me, I'll be rounding up my program in February and while going through a copy of my result transcripts I discovered that the gpa was 3.59 for my 3rd year and not 2.59 as declared by Agbami.

I want retribution and so I'm asking anyone with a decent knowledge of the law: do I have a good case and what amount of money can I request in damages?

Thanks in anticipation of your helpful inputs.

This is Nairaland so insensitive, unintelligent, abusive and foul-mouthed comments are welcome too. I accommodate all inclinations and proclivities.
