David Oyedepo Foundation (DOF) Scholarship Opens—Fully Funded Admission to Covenant & Landmark Universities!

Looking for a full-ride scholarship to study in Nigeria? The David Oyedepo Foundation (DOF) has opened applications for its 2025/26 Undergraduate Scholarship, offering full tuition at Covenant University or Landmark University, fully funded for the duration of your course.

Who’s Eligible?

You’ve got a shot if:

You’re between 16 and 25 years old.
You’re an African citizen and can get a Nigerian student visa.
You’ve done excellently in secondary school—at least 80% average or 4.0 GPA (on a 5.0 scale),
And for Nigerians specifically, a UTME score at least 20 points above your school’s cut-off,
You’ve applied (or are applying) to Covenant or Landmark University, but note this isn’t the same as getting admitted.

What’s Included—and What’s Not

Covered: Your tuition for up to five years (depending on your course length).

Not covered: travel expenses, food, accommodation, health insurance, and miscellaneous fees. So you should budget for those separately.

Selection Process

This is a merit-driven scholarship with a strong focus on students who excel academically and demonstrate financial need.

Here’s the breakdown:

Submit online before the June 27, 2025, deadline.
A panel screens applications based on grades, need, character, and leadership.
Shortlisted candidates go for an online interview.
Finalists must provide proof of university admission and citizenship, along with verified documents.

Must-Have Documents

Secondary school results,
JAMB result (for Nigerians),
Proof of admission to the chosen university,
National ID or passport,
Reference letters from an academic referee and a religious leader,
Several essays on your goals and community impact,
And evidence of English proficiency (everything is in English).

Application Tips

Use a desktop or laptop—no phones.
Scan all documents clearly (blurry copies = disqualification).
You can save and return to your application, but don’t leave it idle for over 30 days.
Submit early—no late entries allowed.
Write honestly and clearly—your voice matters.
Stay alert—emails or calls may come if you get shortlisted.

How to Apply

Ready to apply? Head to the official DOF portal, register your details, upload your documents, and follow the prompts until submission.

Why This Scholarship Stands Out

This isn’t just free tuition—it’s a springboard for young Africans who are academically excellent yet financially strained. If you’re between the ages and meet the requirements, this might be your best chance to study without financial stress and join a community that values leadership and service.
