Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has officially commenced the application process for its highly sought-after Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme for the 2025 academic year. This initiative is a major opportunity for first-year university students across Nigeria to secure financial support for their studies.
Key Details and Application Deadline
The company has announced that the application portal is now active. All submissions must be completed online no later than Friday, December 12, 2025. This scholarship is a core part of NLNG's corporate social responsibility, aimed at fostering academic excellence and developing human capital within the nation.
The scheme is designed to identify and support exceptional young Nigerians, enabling them to pursue higher education without financial constraints and ultimately contribute meaningfully to national development.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
Prospective candidates must meet a specific set of requirements to be considered for the NLNG Undergraduate Scholarship. Applicants must be Nigerian citizens residing within the country. They must be between 16 and 25 years of age at the time of submitting their application.
Academically, candidates must have secured at least five O'Level credit passes, including Mathematics and English, in a single sitting of examinations like WAEC, SSCE, or NECO. They must also be full-time, first-year undergraduates for the 2025/2026 academic session in any federal or state-owned university in Nigeria, with a minimum JAMB UTME score of 200.
NLNG explicitly states that the scholarship is not open to spouses, children, wards, or direct relations of its staff. Furthermore, applicants must not be current beneficiaries of any other scholarship, bursary, or grant award.
Step-by-Step Application Process
Interested and eligible students are to apply exclusively through the official online portal: nlngscholarships.smapply.io/prog/ugss. The application form requires the completion of all mandatory fields.
Applicants will need to upload several scanned documents, including:
- A recent passport photograph (without glasses)

NLNG has emphasized that the application process is completely free of charge. The company also warned that it does not use any representatives or agents to assist with applications, and submissions made through any other channel will be rejected.
Selection Test and Final Awards
After the application window closes, NLNG will shortlist eligible candidates. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted and invited to take a computer-based online proctored selection test. This underscores the need for applicants to possess basic computer literacy.
Candidates are advised to provide a functional email address and check it regularly for updates regarding their application status. Those who are successful in the test will later be required to submit additional mandatory documents before the final scholarship awards are granted.
This scholarship scheme represents a significant investment in Nigeria's future leaders, reinforcing NLNG's commitment to empowering the youth and advancing educational standards nationwide.
