Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has officially commenced the application process for its highly anticipated 2025 Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme, creating significant opportunities for exceptional students across Nigerian universities.
Eligibility Requirements for NLNG Scholarship
According to the company's announcement, the scholarship program targets first-year undergraduates admitted for the 2025/2026 academic session into federal or state-owned universities. Applicants must be Nigerian citizens residing within the country and meet specific academic criteria.
Prospective candidates must have scored at least 200 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and obtained a minimum of five O'Level credits in one sitting, including English and Mathematics. Age restrictions apply, with applicants required to be between 18 and 25 years old at the time of application.
The company explicitly stated that applicants must not be beneficiaries of any other scholarship or related funding and must not be relatives of NLNG staff members.
Application Process and Documentation
All applications must be submitted exclusively through the official online portal: nInGscholarships.smapply.io/prog/ugss. Students are required to complete all application fields and upload necessary supporting documents.
The required documentation includes a recent passport photograph, O'Level results, JAMB UTME scores, admission letter, local government identification, and birth certificate. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to sit an online, computer-based proctored test as part of the selection process.
NLNG emphasized that only applicants who meet all eligibility and documentation requirements will progress to subsequent stages of the selection process. The company urged students to ensure all submitted information is accurate and verifiable.
Fraud Prevention and Important Deadlines
NLNG issued strong warnings against fraudulent activities, stressing that applications are completely free of charge. The company explicitly stated it does not use middlemen or agents, and any application submitted outside the official website will not be accepted.
Applicants are advised to maintain a functional email address for all correspondence regarding their application status. The final deadline for submission is Friday, 12 December 2025, with no extensions anticipated.
This scholarship initiative represents NLNG's ongoing commitment to human capital development in Nigeria. As one prospective applicant noted, such opportunities provide vital support for students from low-income backgrounds, enabling them to focus on their studies without financial pressure and contribute meaningfully to national development.
