Nestlé Nigeria Opens Applications for 2025 Community Scholarship Program

Nestlé Nigeria has opened applications for its 2025 Community Scholarship program, aimed at supporting top students in local communities.

The scholarship is for senior secondary and university students studying Science and Technology.

Since its launch in 2020, the program has helped students from nearby communities by covering important expenses like tuition, accommodation, uniforms, books, and other school costs.

Nestlé says the scholarship is part of its effort to invest in education and help students succeed

For the 2025 program, Nestlé will award scholarships to 90 students, with a total of N18 million in grants. The application portal is now open and will close on December 8, 2024.
