Twelve new students will receive scholarships at the American University of Nigeria this fall.
On August 1, altogether 168 candidates wrote the AUN merit-based scholarship examination in all the six geopolitical zones of the country.
Two winners for each zone were selected to receive the scholarships.
This year’s winners come from Abia, Anambra, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Adamawa, Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarawa, Lagos, and Ogun States, representing the nation’s six geopolitical zones.
Winners have been advised to contact the AUN Office of Admissions via 08056048697 or admissions@aun.edu.ng to confirm their acceptance and to receive more information about the scholarship awards.
Names of winners have been posted here on the AUN website.
The AUN scholarship programme enables the less-privileged to access quality private university education, purely on merit.
As part of its mission as Africa’s “Development University”, AUN is anxious to seek out the best talent in the country, regardless of family income, region, state or tribe.
“For me, AUN is the intersection of hope and ambition,” said one candidate in the competitive selection test.
The 168 candidates who wrote the test came from different social and economic backgrounds.
The merit exams, for which no fees were charged, took place in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, Abuja, Kaduna, and the Yola campus of AUN.
