The NiFESS Scholarship and Grant Trust Fund is a financial reserve supported by non-governmental organisations and the private sector. It provides financial aid to 10,000 (Ten Thousand) professionals and students enrolled in social science courses and related fields in order to help mitigate the effects of Nigeria’s economic vulnerability. The reason for this initiative is that social science and management students studying in Nigerian universities have not received enough financial aid or sponsorship. To address this issue, we established the NSGTF as a platform where these students and professionals (who are also members of NiFESS) can obtain financial aid at no cost for each academic session.
