NLNG opens post-primary scholarship scheme for pupils

Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) continues to demonstrate its commitment to fostering educational development in Rivers State with the introduction of its Post-Primary Scholarship Scheme. This initiative specifically targets high-achieving Basic Six pupils from public primary schools, offering a crucial pathway to quality secondary education.

The scheme is a cornerstone of NLNG's social investment in education, with a particular focus on empowering indigenous pupils within its host communities. By providing this opportunity, NLNG aims to bridge the educational gap and ensure that talented young minds have the resources they need to succeed.

Eligibility criteria are clearly defined to ensure the scheme benefits those most in need and aligned with its objectives. Applicants must be indigenous to NLNG host communities, within the specified age range of 10 to 12 years, and currently enrolled in public primary schools in Rivers State. Furthermore, they must not be recipients of other scholarships or have familial ties to NLNG staff, ensuring fairness and broad reach.

The application process is streamlined through an online portal, with clear instructions provided for registration and submission of required documents. These include academic records, proof of identity and indigene status, and attestation letters. NLNG has also outlined the selection process, which involves a paper-based test at designated centers, and has encouraged applications from Persons Living with Disabilities, promising necessary adjustments.
