Enugu State Scholarship Board

Enugu State Scholarship board was established in 2009 under the Sullivan administration with the objective, inter alia, of ensuring that many indigent but exceptionally brilliant students are given the opportunity to go to school.

Since the establishment of the board, not so many people knew about its existence until the administration of His Excellency, Rt. Honourable Ifeanyi Lawrence Ugwuanyi. In his administration, the board became a household name through the award of various degrees of scholarships to Enugu indigenes to study both within and outside the country.

The Scholarship board has automated the system of application of scholarships through its portal that enables all Enugu applicants create an account through which all their applications are made and processed. This portal is designed in such a way that enables the applicants track the status update of their applications online without any human interference.

In addition to the above, the portal offers CBT solutions that make the conduct of aptitude tests and exams seamless. It equally contains an internal control mechanism to ensure that non-Enugu indigenes do not usurp the opportunities meant for ‘ndi’ Enugu.

So the state government has got you covered.

But they are requesting for my current CGPA when I’m no longer in that school, Student ID (is it that of my previous school?), and admission letter. Or am I supposed to go for the undergraduate one?

        Why I’m asking is because I will be starting from 200l, I just need clarification Sir. Thank you

        • You know that normally, what is required in this kind of thing are documents or credentials from your current institution. For the avoidance of doubt, you can go to the Board’s office and enquire directly from them.
