General Ibrahim Attahiru Foundation Scholarship 2026 (GIAF) For Nigerians
The General Ibrahim Attahiru Foundation (GIAF) Scholarship 2026 offers a powerful opportunity to support ambitious students and nurture the next generation of leaders in Nigeria.
This prestigious scholarship programme is specifically designed to provide financial support to children and dependants of serving, retired, and deceased Nigerian Army personnel studying in Nigerian universities.
About the GIAF Scholarship 2026
In commemoration of the 3rd anniversary of the passing of the late 21st Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Ibrahim Attahiru, on May 21, 2024, the Foundation launched this initiative as part of its second priority focus area.
Starting from the 2026/2027 academic session, the scholarship aims to expand access to higher education for deserving students who have strong potential but limited opportunities.
The programme is built on the belief that many Nigerian youths possess exceptional talent — but need the right support to thrive.
