Nestlé Nigeria Plc has opened applications for its 2026/2027 Community Scholarship Programme, continuing its commitment to supporting young people in its host communities and helping students achieve their academic goals. Since its launch in 2020, the programme has supported more than 250 students, helping to reduce the financial challenges associated with education and creating opportunities for young Nigerians to succeed.
The scholarship programme is designed specifically for Science and Technology students and provides financial support for tuition, books, and other school-related costs. Through this initiative, Nestlé aims to support young people in developing the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to Nigeria’s future growth while creating greater opportunities for students within its host communities.
Speaking on the initiative, Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs and Sustainability Lead, Nestlé Nigeria, said the scholarship reflects Nestlé’s belief that business growth and community progress must go hand in hand.
“At Nestlé, we believe that stronger communities are built by creating opportunities for people to thrive. Through the Community Scholarship Programme, we are supporting young people with access to education while investing in the future potential of our host communities. By empowering students today, we are helping to develop the knowledge and skills that will contribute to Nigeria’s growth tomorrow.”
