Kogi State Students' Bursary Award

Kogi State Scholarship Board, Nigeria

Scholarship overview

The Kogi State Scholarship Board was established by Edict No. 13 of 1998. It is primarily responsible for awarding scholarships and bursaries to qualified Kogi State indigenes in institutions of learning within Nigeria and abroad. Its mission is to support Kogi students to achieve academic success through scholarships and bursaries.

In April 2024 the state government unveiled the registration portal for the State Students Bursary Award 2024. The Board's Executive Chairman said the bursary is strictly for students of Kogi origin in tertiary institutions across the country, and that the portal was designed to collect accurate student data so that bursary can be paid transparently to indigent students.

The Board's home page lists an Annual Student Bursary Award 2025 for eligible Kogi students in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria, applied for through a Bursary Management Portal.
