Scholarship overview

The Borno State Scholarship Board (BSSB) runs scholarship applications for Borno State through its online portal at bssb.bo.gov.ng. The Board's address is Jos Road, Maiduguri.

The portal's front-page guideline headline refers to the Postgraduate 2024 Internal Scholarship, which is covered separately.

An Official Notice published on 27 July 2026 states that there is no active scholarship application at the moment, and warns applicants to ignore messages or posts claiming otherwise.

Award Information

  • The portal's sign-up form asks for first and last name, email, phone number, National Identification Number (NIN), Bank Verification Number (BVN), Local Government Area of origin in Borno State, gender and date of birth.
  • The sign-up form lists Borno State's local government areas for the origin selection.

No application window is open. The Official Notice published on 27 July 2026 says there is no active scholarship application at the moment and that official updates will be published on the portal when the process begins.

  1. Wait for an official announcement on the BSSB portal; the notice says to ignore unofficial claims that applications are open.
  2. When a window is announced, create an account at the BSSB sign-up page, which asks for the personal details listed under eligibility.
  3. Follow the guidelines published on the portal for that round.

The notice also advises not to pay anyone claiming to process scholarship applications and not to submit personal data through unofficial websites.
