The Federal Ministry of Education has good news for Nigerian students! They are offering money to help pay for school through the Federal Government Bursary Award. This is a great chance to get some financial help so you can focus on your studies.
A Bursary Award, or simply bursary, is a financial award given to students based on financial need. It’s similar to scholarships but focuses more on financial hardship rather than academic merit.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Purpose: Helps students afford higher education by covering costs like tuition, books, or living expenses.
Eligibility: Awarded based on financial need, though some bursaries might target specific groups or students facing challenges.
