The NNPC/RAE–CJ Joint Venture Tertiary Scholarship Scheme 2025 is a strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative introduced by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) in collaboration with RAE–CJ Joint Venture. This annual scholarship scheme is designed to promote academic excellence and support the education of bright Nigerian undergraduates who are pursuing studies in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
The scholarship targets 100-level students who are enrolled in Federal and State universities across Nigeria. It aims to reduce the financial burden of education on students and their families, especially for those from less privileged backgrounds. By investing in education, the scheme contributes to national development, skills enhancement, and capacity building for Nigeria’s future workforce. The scholarship provides full academic support to selected candidates, including coverage of tuition fees and other mandatory academic charges. In addition to the financial aid, beneficiaries of the scholarship are often exposed to career guidance, internship opportunities, and mentoring sessions, where feasible. These additional engagements help students develop professionally and prepare for the demands of the labor market upon graduation.
The NNPC/RAE–CJ JV is committed to sustainable development and recognizes that empowering youth through education is critical to economic transformation. Therefore, this initiative not only helps individuals reach their full academic potential but also strengthens communities and contributes to Nigeria’s human capital development goals. The scheme supports both host community students—those from the operational areas of the JV partners—and students from across the country under the National Merit Award. Students must pass an online selection test to qualify. The test will assess their analytical skills, quantitative reasoning, verbal aptitude, and general knowledge. The application process is digital and free of charge. Interested candidates are expected to submit accurate and verifiable academic and personal information through the official application portal.
Applicants should ensure they meet all eligibility criteria and provide valid documents as requested. The scholarship board will conduct a thorough verification process, and any falsification of information will lead to disqualification. Only shortlisted candidates will be invited to the online test.
