Stanbic IBTC Announces Nationwide Scholarship Programme for 200 Deserving Students

Stanbic IBTC is delighted to announce the launch of its scholarship programme for the 2023/2024 academic year. The initiative is designed to support and invest in the educational development of exceptional Nigerian youths. Through the initiative, scholarships will be awarded to 200 students across the country, thus reaffirming Stanbic IBTC’s commitment to supporting education and providing opportunities for outstanding students to achieve their academic dreams.

Building on the success of last year’s programme, this year’s scholarship targets students who have demonstrated academic excellence. To qualify, students must have a UTME score of 250 and above, at least five credits in O’Level (WAEC or NECO), and proof of admission to a Nigerian federal or state university. The scholarship aims at relieving financial burdens and inspire students to strive for excellence in their academic pursuits.

Stanbic IBTC is also excited to announce that the award ceremony for the scholarship recipients will be a hybrid event, allowing participants to join either physically or virtually. The inclusive approach ensures that students, parents, and stakeholders from all regions can partake in the celebrations.
