Scholarship overview

The Ondo State Scholarship Board was set up on 26 April 2000. It is an interventionist agency of the Ondo State Government in the education sector, responsible for the prompt delivery of bursary and scholarship awards and financial assistance to deserving indigenes of Ondo State in approved tertiary institutions, as a lifeline to students from humble backgrounds.

The regular scholarship is for students in second year and above and depends on academic performance in the earlier examinations. It is renewable only on satisfactory academic performance.
