Seplat Energy opens applications for 2024/2025 undergraduate scholarship scheme
In a country where the “sapa” level for many students has reached an all-time high, the news of the Seplat Energy Joint Venture (JV) undergraduate scholarship is the kind of “correct” update every Nigerian student needs to hear. For years, the cost of education has been rising “sharp-sharp,” leaving many brilliant minds struggling to pay their fees or even buy textbooks. But as a professional editor who has seen many corporate social responsibility projects come and go, I can tell you that this particular scheme is the “real deal.
” Seplat Energy, in partnership with the NNPC Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL), is once again stepping up to the plate to ensure that financial “wahala” does not truncate the dreams of our young scholars in Federal and State Universities across Nigeria.
The “real koko” of the Seplat Energy scholarship opportunity
This scholarship is not just about the money; it is about recognizing excellence and giving students the “ginger” to keep pushing. The “real koko” of this scheme is its consistency. Seplat hasn’t just been doing this for one or two years; it has become a staple in the Nigerian academic calendar.
The award is designed as a merit-based grant, meaning you don’t need to know any “senior man” in the oil and gas industry to get it.
If you have the brains and the CGPA to back it up, the portal is open for you. The financial support provided is meant to cover tuition and other associated costs, allowing students to focus 100% on their books rather than worrying about where the next semester’s “urgent 2k” will come from.
Eligibility criteria and who qualifies for this “senior man” grant
Before you rush to the portal, you need to check if you have the “levels” required to apply. This scholarship is specifically targeted at 200-level (2nd year) undergraduate students currently enrolled in any Nigerian Federal or State University. Whether you are studying Engineering, Medicine, or even the Social Sciences, there is a place for you.
However, you must maintain a strong academic record—usually a CGPA of 3.5 and above on a 5.0 scale. The scheme is divided into two categories: the National Merit Award for students from all over Nigeria, and the Host Community Award for those specifically from Seplat’s areas of operation in Edo and Delta States. This ensures that while the whole country benefits, the people “on the ground” where the oil is being produced also get their fair share.
How to apply and nail the screening test without “stories that touch”
The application process is entirely online, so there is no need to go and “carry file” to any office. You simply head to the Seplat scholarship portal, upload your documents—including your birth certificate, O’Level results, and your university admission letter—and fill in your details correctly.
After the application phase, shortlisted candidates will be invited for a Computer-Based Test (CBT). This is where the real “sorting” happens. To avoid “stories that touch,” you must prepare for this test like your life depends on it. The questions usually cover Mathematics, English, and General Paper.
If you pass this stage, you are almost at the finish line. My advice? Don’t wait until the deadline to apply, as the traffic on the website might start “behaving anyhow” at the last minute.
Why this scholarship is a game-changer for Nigerian university students
In an era where “school na scam” has become a popular but misleading slogan among some youths, Seplat is proving that education is still the most reliable “sure plug” for success.
By investing millions into the lives of these students, they are building a pipeline of talent that will eventually lead the energy sector and other industries in the future.
For the recipients, this is a life-changing moment. It takes the pressure off their parents and gives them the confidence to compete with their peers anywhere in the world. As an editor, I see this as more than just a CSR project; it is a seed sown into the future of Nigeria. So, if you are a 200L student with the required grades, don’t “sleep on this” at all. Go and grab your future!
