About the scholarship

The NIIT Nigeria Scholarship Award 2016 is the 17th edition of this information technology (IT) scholarship scheme. NIIT is a leading global ICT training institution, which has been operating in Nigeria since 1999 when it set up shop in Ikeja, Lagos. It has since spread its tentacles to other cities in the country and this has added national colouration to its scholarship awards in a way. It claims to train over 16,000 students annually in Nigeria.

For the first time since inception, certain ‘futuristic programs,’including DigiNxt, Java Enterprises Apps with DevOps, and Big Data, will be offered under the NIIT Nigeria Scholarship Award 2016. The global ICT training institution says this decision is informed by changing manpower requirement in the industry.

Who is Qualified to Apply?

The NIIT Nigeria Scholarship Award 2016 appears to be an all-come scholarship award, which points to possibility of having some people offered partial scholarships or discounted fees. The training institute says the following classes of people can apply:

* School leavers
* Undergraduates
* Graduates (employed, underemployed or unemployed)
* Professionals
* Entrepreneurs, and even
* Dropouts

You can see this is an all-is-welcome award, possibly with your cash in your pocket to pay along the way.

Application and Deadline

Applications for NIIT Nigeria Scholarship Award 2016 can be done via NIIT Nigeria website (www.niitnigeria.com). Alternatively, you may get an application form from one of NIIT’s centres spread across Nigeria.
