Vice-Chancellor's Academic Scholarship

Wigwe University, Isiokpo Rivers State, Nigeria

Scholarship overview

Vice-Chancellor's Academic Scholarship is one of four merit-based scholarship tiers published by Wigwe University (Isiokpo). Tiers are set by the candidate's JAMB UTME score: Founder's Scholarship (300 and above, 60%), Board of Trustees Chairman's Scholarship (250-299, 50%), Pro-Chancellor's Merit Scholarship (220-249, 40%) and Vice-Chancellor's Academic Scholarship (180-219, 30%).

This tier covers candidates with a UTME score of 180-219 and carries a 30% discount. The scholarship is described as merit-based and open to students enrolling at Wigwe University.

Award Information

  • UTME score of 180-219.
  • Wigwe University Isiokpo must be the candidate's first choice on JAMB.
  • A minimum UTME score of 160 is required.
  • Qualifying results must be uploaded to JAMB; candidates still awaiting O'Level results should upload them once released. Candidates who do not upload results to JAMB will not be considered.
  • Candidates who did not choose Wigwe first but meet the cut-off may still apply if they change their first-choice institution to Wigwe on the JAMB portal before the Change of Institution process closes.
  • A 30% discount.

The page does not state the base fee the discount applies to (it links to fee schedules for 2024/2025, 2025/2026 and 2026/2027), nor the duration of the award or renewal terms.

The page gives no separate application procedure. It states only the JAMB requirements: make Wigwe University your first choice (or change to it through JAMB Change of Institution before it closes) and upload your qualifying results to JAMB. See the official scholarships page.
