Alex Otti Foundation Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Students 2024

Many individuals from underclass families, who are today at the peak of their careers or have achieved enormous greatness or fortune have touted education as one of the things that changed their stories. Some go further to say that without education, they may likely not be where they are today. A clear example is our founder, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, who had several times confirmed the impact of education in his own success. The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) recognizes how education can transform lives and has, over the years, actively sought to build a virile Nigerian society through meaningful educational interventions, awarding undergraduate scholarships to indigent students yearly.

The Foundation, therefore, calls for applications from interested candidates for the 2023/2024 edition of its undergraduate scholarship scheme. The scheme was established to assist disadvantaged students ancestrally from – or resident in – Abia State with financial support to facilitate their educational pursuits.

Scholarships will be awarded based on strong personal academic background, leadership potential, and a demonstrated desire to use the acquired knowledge to contribute to societal development. Winners should, upon completion of their studies, apply their talents and expertise to improving the lives of others. Over time, the Foundation expects its scholarship beneficiaries to form a strong network of leaders who will individually and collectively contribute to the well-being of Abia State and Nigeria. .

How to Apply

Interested and qualified? Go to Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) on portal.alexottifoundation.org to apply

The scholarship is for residents in Abia State. There is no difference between those who ancestrally hail from the state and those whose families migrated from elsewhere. As long as you live in the state, even if you are schooling elsewhere in Nigeria, you are eligible.
Indigent students are those whose families cannot genuinely afford the cost of tertiary education. Those with the means to afford tertiary education should consider staying away from this scholarship a way of giving back to the society.
Due to the volume of entries received in every edition, only candidates who scale through the first screening will be contacted.
