Oando Awards Scholarships To 100 Level University Students

Posted on April 23, 2025

The Oando Joint Venture (JV), consisting NNPC Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL)/Oando Energy Resources Nigeria Limited (OERNL), in demonstrating its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has launched the 2025/2026 applications for its Tertiary Scholarship Scheme.

This initiative, targeted at both the JV’s Host Communities and the country at large,aims to build the next generation of leaders by supporting the academic aspirations of undergraduates in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

The scholarship application, which opened on Thursday, March 27, 2025, will close on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

It offers two categories of awards: the Host Communities Merit Award specifically for students who are indigenes of Oando’s host communities in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, and Imo States; and the National Merit Award open to students from across Nigeria, excluding Oando’s host communities, who are pursuing studies in Engineering, Geology, Geosciences, and Agricultural Sciences.

This inclusive approach ensures that talented students from all over Nigeria have the opportunity to benefit from this program.

To be eligible for consideration, applicants must be registered full-time undergraduates in a Nigerian tertiary institution and be certified 100-level students at the time of application.

The scheme explicitly excludes 200-level students and above, current beneficiaries of similar awards from other companies and agencies, and dependents of staff of Oando PLC and its subsidiaries.

This scholarship program underscores Oando’s unwavering commitment to investing in the future of Nigeria, particularly its host communities, and contributing to the development of the country’s human capital.

By focusing one education, a cause the company is deeply passionate about and champions through its foundation, Oando Foundation, Oando aims to empower young people and equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed.

The company views this as a crucial aspect of its social responsibility, fostering sustainable development.

The selection process includes an online aptitude test, which only shortlisted candidates will be contacted to take. Candidates must achieve a minimum of 50% in the aptitude test to be considered, and the results will be published on notice boards in all Oando locations nationwide.

The Tertiary Scholarship Scheme, initiated by the Joint Venture in the 1992/1993 academic session, currently supports the education of over 350 beneficiaries.

Its continuation, following Oando’s acquisition of the interests of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) in August 2024, demonstrates the company’s steadfast belief in leaving its communities better than it met them and its role in nurturing Nigeria’s next generation.

Interested and qualified students are encouraged to visit candidate.scholastica.ng/schemes/oandoscholarship2025 to apply before the deadline.

As a proudly indigenous company with a Nigerian workforce, Oando recognizes that investing in quality education is paramount to developing the nation’s future talent pool.

This scholarship program empowers young Nigerians with the tools they need to contribute to the country’s growth and prosperity.
