NGScholars, an academic online platform, has launched the Teacher Excellence Scholarship aimed at supporting students pursuing education degrees at Colleges of Education and Teacher Training Institutes across Nigeria.
Mr Ahmed Ogundimu, Innovative Entrepreneur/Product Manager at NGScholars, announced this in a statement yesterday in Lagos.
He said the programme offers N500,000 in scholarships, with five recipients receiving N100,000 each annually.
Ogundimu said the scholarship was designed to enhance the quality of teacher education in Nigeria and empower future educators committed to teaching in public primary and secondary schools.
“We aim to elevate the standards of teachers’ training, by motivating talented individuals who are passionate about teaching and ensure graduates are well-prepared to provide high-quality education to young learners.
To qualify, applicants must be full-time students in their penultimate or final year, maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 points and demonstrate a commitment to teaching in public schools after graduation,” he said.
