Quick answers
Before you apply
Does the highest JAMB score automatically win?
No. A score of 180 meets the threshold. Selection also considers need, educational purpose, readiness, and community connection.
What if I am selected but do not gain admission?
Your offer remains conditional until October 31. If you cannot submit an admission letter and proof of acceptance-fee payment by then, the offer passes to the next eligible backup.
When will the ₦200,000 be paid?
Payment is made after your admission letter and proof of acceptance-fee payment have been submitted and verified.
Will recipients' names be published?
Only with consent. Otherwise, anonymized results may be shared for transparency while protecting applicant privacy.
