Shell undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship 2021/2022| Apply Now

Quality education is the dream of every youth, Shell undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship brings that dream to pass by offering scholarships through various educational ventures.

Do you have a vision of pursuing your studies but no money? This grant is an opportunity to give your hopes a new meaning in 2021 via the Shell SPDC Undergraduate scholarship award. 

In this article, however, we are going to put you through on how to apply for the scholarship.

It is also another factor to be considered that most Nigerian Universities ( apart from the National Open University), have come up with distant learning platforms that give other students opportunities to tap from the resources of the school faculties. 

And the best of it is that there are Universities from foreign countries that accept international students into their online degree courses. We also recommend this, even as you consider scholarships from theses organizations.

But for the sake of the scope of this content, we refer you to the Shell Scholarship 2021 and how to apply for the funding schemes.

Planning for Education in Nigeria 

Outside the primary school, and secondary school education, there come other needs for higher education, with higher burdens.

However, the level of poverty has always made education seem like the business for the rich alone in Nigeria.

The cost of education does not have anything in common with the inabilities of most low-income families who strive dearly to send their kids to schools. 

It is because of this reason that most prospective students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria get discouraged from pursuing their academic career at early ages. 

The cost of the extra fees by extorting lecturers, textbooks, school fees and health care has placed lots of students out of classes for the sake of the present economy. 

Schools and government policies do not consider the places of poor parents who don’t have what it takes to offer education to their kids.

On the other hands, most students have experienced low academic throughput due to inadequate funding.

Scholarship opportunities such as the Shell Scholarship 2021 have been in the system for a while, as aids to parents and students who face these odds.

In our previous guides, we published strategies that can help students raise funds for their studies (home or abroad), but today, we see scholarships as another means of pursuing degrees.
