The AgricTech Empowerment Network has invited Nigerian undergraduates studying agriculture and related disciplines to apply for its 2026/2027 scholarship programme.
The initiative is designed to support students interested in agricultural development, technology and innovation, while encouraging young Nigerians to contribute to the future of food production and agribusiness.
The scholarship is open to students in recognised universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in selected states across the South-West and North-Central regions of Nigeria.
To qualify, applicants must be in at least their second year of undergraduate studies and enrolled in Agriculture, Agricultural Technology or a related discipline.
The programme gives priority consideration for full scholarship awards to applicants with First Class or Distinction results. Students with Second Class Upper or Upper Credit qualifications may also be considered based on the strength of their applications, demonstrated interest in agriculture and relevant experience.
Successful applicants may receive financial support towards tuition fees and other academic expenses, certification as AgricTech Scholars and recognition through the organisation’s platforms. However, the organisation has not published a specific scholarship amount.
Applicants are required to submit their academic transcripts or statements of results, an updated curriculum vitae and a two-minute video explaining their interest in agriculture or agricultural technology.
They must also complete an agriculture-related online course through the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) E-Learning Academy and provide the certificate of completion.
Eligible institutions must be located in Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau or the Federal Capital Territory.
Interested students are advised to review the eligibility requirements and prepare their supporting documents before completing the online application.
Applications opened on 1 November 2026 and will close on 30 November 2026. The organisation expects to review applications between December 2026 and January 2027, with successful applicants scheduled to receive notifications and scholarship awards in January 2027.
