2025 Mastercard Scholarship at Pan-Atlantic University—Fully Funded Opportunity for Bright Nigerian Students!

The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) is back for 2025, offering a fully funded university experience to bright and financially disadvantaged students. This scholarship covers [full tuition, accommodation, mentorship, internships, and more] throughout your degree.

Who Should Apply?

You’re a great fit if you:

I am a Nigerian undergraduate with strong academic performance.
Demonstrate financial need.
Show leadership qualities or community-minded experience.
Qualify as a young woman in STEM, a person with a disability, or an internally displaced person.
Secured five credits in WAEC/NECO/GCE/NABTEB (including English & Maths) in up to two sittings,
Achieved at least 220 in UTME, covering English plus three other approved subjects.

What You Get

This isn’t just about fees:

100% tuition coverage for your degree at PAU,
Free hostel accommodation and living allowance,
Mentorship, leadership programs, and internship placements,
A strong, supportive community and networking opportunities.

Application Details

Deadline: June 30, 2025

No entrance exam. Admission is based on documents, personal essays, and screening.

Why It Stands Out

PAU becomes the first Nigerian university to partner with the Mastercard Foundation to empower 650 scholars over the next decade. The program doesn’t just educate—it grooms future leaders committed to giving back and driving social impact.
